It maintains detailed logs of changes to +the file system, user and group lists, resident kernel modules, and +more. Osiris can be configured to email these logs to the administrator. +Hosts are periodically scanned and, if desired, the records can be +maintained for forensic purposes. Osiris keeps an administrator apprised +of possible attacks and/or nasty little trojans. The purpose here is +to isolate changes that indicate a break-in or a compromised system. +Osiris makes use of OpenSSL for encryption and authentication in all +components.
