What is TripWire? • Reliable intrusion detection system. • Tool that checks to see what changes have been made in your system. • Pinpoints, notifies, determines the nature, and provides information on the changes on how to manage the change. • Mainly monitors the key attributes(like binary signature, size and other related data) of your files. • Changes are compared to the established good baseline. • Security is compromised, if there is no control over the various operations taking place. • Security not only means protecting your system against various attacks but also means taking quick and decisive actions when your system is attacked.
First, a baseline database is created storing the original attributes like binary values in registry. • If the host computer is intruded, the intruder changes these values to go undetected. • The TripWire software constantly checks the system logs to check if any unauthorized changes were made. • If so, then it reports to the user. • User can then undo those changes to revert the system back to the original state.
Where is TripWire used? • Tripwire for Servers(TS) is software used by servers. • Can be installed on any server that needs to be monitored for any changes. • Typical servers include mail servers, web servers, firewalls, transaction server, development server. • It is also used for Host Based Intrusion Detection System(HIDS) and also for Network Intrusion Detection System(NIDS). • It is used for network devices like routers, switches, firewall, etc. • If any of these devices are tampered with, it can lead to huge losses for the Organization that supports the network.
How do you install and use TripWire? • Install Tripwire and customize the policy file. • Initialize the Tripwire database. • Run a Tripwire integrity check. • Examine the Tripwire report file. • Take appropriate security measures. • Update the Tripwire database file. • Update the Tripwire policy file.
What is the benefit of TripWire? • Increase security Immediately detects and pinpoints unauthorized change. • Instill Accountability Tripwire identifies and reports the sources of change. • Gain Visibility Tripwire software provides a centralized view of changes across the enterprise infrastructure and supports multiple devices from multiple vendors. • Ensure Availability Tripwire software reduces troubleshooting time, enabling rapid discovery and recovery. Enables the fastest possible restoration back to a desired, good state.
