If another host-based intrusion detection system is loaded on the system

# find / -name

Where is the name of the primary application daemon to determine if the application is loaded on the system.

Determine if the application is active on the system.

Procedure:
# ps -ef | grep

If no host-based intrusion detection system is installed on the system, this is a finding.
