“The precursor to this article, Creating Secure Remote Log
Servers, was the first in a series of papers focused on walking
readers through configuring and deploying secure remote log
servers. This second paper in the series offers a much more robust
alternative to first generation SYSLOG servers; providing a much
more reliable remote logging facility that is effective for use
within Honeynets (http://project.honeynet.org) and Intrusion
Detection System deployments. Remote log servers can provide
centralized logging capability for IDS’ spread across large network
environments. I have proposed this approach for centralized logging
in large IDS deployments on government networks that typically
consist of multiple CLASS A networks.“What this paper hopes to accomplish is to walk its readers
through building next generation secure remote log servers to use
in any environment, more specifically those wanting to utilize this
form of logging with the Snort Intrusion Detection System
(http://www.snort.org)…”
