Ask the SA or IAO if a host-based intrusion detection application is loaded on the system. The preferred intrusion detection system is McAfee HBSS available through Cybercom. If another host-based intrusion detection application, such as SELinux, is used on the system, this is not a finding. Procedure: Examine the system to see if the Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) is installed #rpm -qa | grep MFEhiplsm If the MFEhiplsm package is installed, HBSS is being used on the system. If another host-based intrusion detection system is loaded on the system # find / -name Where 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. |
