NSMnow, as the name suggests, is all about building an Network Security Monitoring (NSM) framework ... Now! By Now! we mean fast and easy without the messy patching and configuration of each tool needed to get the system up and running. What we aim to do is build a sguil system with the minimum amount of fuss so you can actually focus on using sguil instead of building it.
However, we know that people like to tinker with their system in order to optimise its performance and learn more about what goes on behind the scene. So we will also provide documentation on how we have configured the base system and where you can go to customise it. Along the way we hope to provide some insight into NSM as well as providing some details on why we have laid the system out the way we have.
So what are the benefits of using NSMnow? We"re glad you asked:
-
Rapid deployment
One file to define your configuration options and start the installer. This makes building the system fast, everything is being done behind the scenes based on all decisions and options being defined up front and in one place. You can focus on using sguil and monitoring your networks.
-
Flexible and Adaptable
Only want to build the server component? Then that is all the installer will do for you. Already have some tools installed? The installer will check the configuration and make sure everything is compatible with sguil.
-
Great learning aid
The configuration file helps to explain the layout of the system. The system is built without all the fuss of downloading each tool and making sure it all the numerous configuration files are not scattered all over the filesystem and that they are configured properly. The companion website will help explain all the configuration options to make it easier for you to maintain and customise the system.
The intent of NSMnow is to provide an easy way to build, configure, maintain and customise the NSM framework. For detailed information on maximising NSMnow see the documentation pages.
