Speaking of CCDC, I'll be going as my team leader to the WRCCDC this
weekend. Any tips? I'm really scared about the red team gaining access to L2
of my network. Was VLAN hopping and switch/router tampering a common thing?
I'm guessing that the web app lended very generous to the red team?

 I would recommend OSSEC all the way, a joint effort with your IDS, such as
snort, helps greatly.  To reduce the false incidents I agree with Ron 100%
you need a means to compare events such as a file change and an event on the
network.

OSSEC is a great start though, if you want something inexpensive you can
look at OSSIM (http://www.alienvault.com/community.php?section=Home) while
the recently release is better the over all documentation is not the
greatest and it does bundle into the OS things that may not be needed for
your implementation, plan some time for tweaking and testing.

Keep us up to date as to what you guys choose and how it works out for you.

Greetings gurus-

The company I work for is being pressed to deploy file integrity monitoring
tools in our production environment.  I've not worked with such tools in the
past and am interested in your experiences.

I have concerns around noise levels, false positives, how to control file
integrity and still keep up with vendor updates (50 hour days anyone?).

Anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks,

Ken
