Few years in to cybercsecurity and you have opened up my world by this practical application. I understood your vocabulary which was super motivating. Thanks keep the videos coming.

The presentation is excellent, giving real examples, not like the vast majority of KZreadrs who say what is theoretical and that's it. It would be great if you could make a series of videos on wazuh, setups, examples, case studies, etc. Again, brilliant, and thanks for sharing, total genius.

While the software is explained pretty clearly, I have some reservations. On a completely fresh Ubuntu Server 20.04.06 VM (ProxMox) without any extras installed. I followed the links provided in this video and it said this version of Ubuntu is fully supported. The quick install script starts and crashes after a while. The on-screen instructions tell me to extract a generated archive to continue the the installation. That generated archive, well, it isn't generated. Ah well, just scrap the current VM and restore a snapshot I created just after installing Ubuntu Server and retry. Nope. the quick insatll script failed again. Different generated archive failure. Scrap it and restore the snapshot again. Again the script fails, again the first generated archive failure. Found a manual for manual (offline) installing the software, but is is very involved. That method took also a lot more than 5 minutes. But that method at least worked. Once the software runs, it does look good.

@@geroldmanders9742 these software ARE convoluted. Still, the necessity of lurking into dozen of configuration scripts is the problem. You know, they are aimed to system admins, well, but the home-labbers or technicians who want to replicare some high level systems with their customers, need the knowledge of large-scale business, but are on their own. Keeping all the knowledge to gear those things is also not so simple, although it is intriguing to learn about. You yourself faced with the installation issue. I cannot declare it is the norm, but sometimes it is frequent. Take me, I'm in the 50ish, and notbeing a digital born, I have always aimed to learn as much as possible in IT, and am still able to learn and follow or guide my customers into digital world, but for me and few other colleagues who participate into this research of nice and powerful tools (ProxMox, TrueNAS, UNRAID, network security tools, NAS self-construction...) the hardest wall to splash your face to is the issue prone systems that those software lead. I also face frequently with VM problems, so putting a test bench on, is a matter of build physical hardware that has costs, and consumes time.

I'm actually amazed at the amount of tools and services Wazuh can provide. Also, thank you Josh, that was very well presented.

*gives a round of applause* I have to thank you because every one of your videos that I have seen, I have learned absolutely so much. And I was literally just talking to my friend about how it was so aggravating hat all of those weren’t in a single platform (unless you wanted to pay out the rear for it), and then this shows up. So thank you for making the video, and FOR ONCE, thank you to ‘big brother’ listening in on all of our devices, lol.

This is incredible. Thanks so much for making me aware of this and doing a deep dive. I can't wait to set this up in my lab. Appreciate you.

Love it John! Keep it up! I am setting up Wazuh along with you.👍

Yes please more tutorial video with Wazuh. And thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with Wazuh. Love your work

Security practitioner/professional here.. this walkthrough is excellent, and this can easily be done in small business env's as well as in a individual's personal home. The cost of entry is just the time it takes to learn, but this can be done by anyone with some time and motivation. You don't even need dedicated computers or servers, this can be done on a Rasberry Pi.

I was so lost in studying cybersecurity until I watched this Wazuh video. Now I understand it clearly. Especially studying for the SOC Analyst job. Thanks a lot John. This is the best straightforward, highly informative and no-nonsense video.

Thanks for that. It's a really awesome tool i've installed at work to monitor our network couple of months ago. Only big issue at the beginning was the CIS benchmark for ubuntu 22.04 but once you fix the typos and the regex it works A1. Next step for me is to build the Dashboard in OpenSearch

I subbed. Great vid! Gonna set it up on my raspi 4b 👍 Also love the all black background, ...Very easy on the eyes, especially on my iPad.

I've known about Wazuh for a while, however, a lot of people may not and I genuinely love watching your videos. Followed for a long time but rarely, if ever, comment. So here's a huge thanks for the hard work you put into your amazing content.

Windows even has it's own tool which you can run from cli to force it to download and install updates. Would just be nice to see that as an option builtin. I think that would make this virtually the ultimate free SIEM.

Fantastic video on a complex subject. Detailed enough without going down a rabbit hole of confusion. :)

Thanks again John Josh...

Seems like they have finally morphed OSSEC+Elastic into a nice opensource solution as I had lookedat this many years ago. I'd like to see videos on feeding network device logs into the Wazuh. And also address how to handle retention of logs and events.

That was amazing. Looking forward to the next part

100% agree with all the folks who want to see the series of instructional videos. great topic.

Thanks. Watching it again and doing the install on my Ubuntu VM running on Proxmox.

Hi John, thanks a lot for sharing with us your knowledge! Please made more videos about wazuh! Cheers

You made reference to Yara rule support but I couldn’t find that in your video. Does Wazah have support for Yara or is this being done through the VirusTotal integration? Thanks for a great video. Cheers 😊

Cool video, you covered the main things and you concentrated to the essential part and not to do show like other videos. So thanks for this.

Thanks for this video - helped me a lot. I, however ran into a bit of an issue with the windows agent. For some reasons, it failed to assign the server IP to the agent. I had to edit the config file to manually enter the IP address. Just in case anyone else has that issue with the windows agent. Thanks buddy. I appreciate.

thank you john for your efforts. please can you do more video's about wazuh

This video probably saved an organization from getting hacked. Thanks!

HAHAHA...I should have my head examined thoroughly. I just spent the last 2 days trying to set this up exactly as you did. I could not for the life of me, get the Agent to connect to the Manager. I'm going to take a break and come back to it. Thank you John for the information.

Be careful that your "manager" server does not have the same hostname as any of your agents. When I tried cloning my VMs from a flat Ubuntu image, since I didn't change the hostname from "ubuntu" on the manager server and "ubuntu" on the client agent, it couldn't see the agent (since the 'server' practically is an 'agent'). That's why I force-name mine to "linux" in the video 😅

If you're recreating this using VMs in virtualbox, make sure to add a host-only network adapter in addition to the default NAT adapter so your manager and agents can use the same IP address. Very informative video, thank you so much! I'd definitely tune in to future videos about wazuh. In the meantime, I'm going to play around with executing python scripts from the active-response command.

Instant like and suscribe. However there is a pb at 27:50 : before deleting the file [Which in effects just unlink the file, ie deletes the directory entry helping to point the actual file : if that file is still running or opened, it would still be present and active!] it should instead do first : sudo lsof -Pn and try to see if that exact file (matching the inode!!, 8th field in the lsof -Pn and 1st field in ls -ild) and kill any pid (2nd field) matching this inode. Only then, after another lsof check, delete (=unlink) the file. Making sure to not kill the script itself of course ^^.

Awesome job John, Thank you.

I had a little laugh at this when watching. Great video. However when you said most of our servers are Linux I went, "oh, are they?" I have been working n the small business sector in Australia for 40 odd years and I think I could still count the amount of production servers I've seen running Linux on one hand, (ok maybe that's an exaggeration, but you get the point). This seems like an awesome platform. Currently I Google how to do stuff on Linux cos I don't use it enough to remember things. However, it seems I am going to have to finally bite the bullet and learn how to set up and manage a Linux VM on my Hyper-V server ...😑

Thank you for this video been looking for some way I can learn hands on SOC skill at home. I would like to apply this to my home network. Question can I have the service on VirtualBox and still monitor my home network? If so what would I set the Network Adapter to? Thank you.

Well done video! Solid share. Thank you

looks great. good video.....but surely it can restart agents om the client side?

This seems like a really useful and interesting SIEM tool. It does however suffer from the main problem infecting all Linux projects. Making a web interface but still requiring the user to configure things through a conf file local on the server. Why? Why can't i change these settings through the web-ui?

Great video. Thanks John.

Yours was an excellent presentation. Sadly, what I saw while following your instructions didn't match what you saw, starting at the "Install agent" page. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough information for me to figure out where things went wrong.
