Thank Chuck for this video, and to you kind sir for great input, I'm transitioning to security field with my 38 years and your comment will help me a lot! Wish me luck!

Thank You Chuck ... :) A year ago, when I first saw your channel, you became my inspiration to change my life. I changed my career and since June 2023 I have been working in IT :) Great channel keep it up :) You're doing a great job!

Dude, you're the best! As a hardcore dev of over 15 years who ended up moving into business / tech strategy role and then returning to hands-on tech both as a fun hobby as well to fulfill a practical need to remain current with the detail to be effective in my job, your videos and topic range tick all the boxes. You've mastered the art of both providing sufficient depth and explanation at speed so as not frustrate viewers like me that often eyeroll at videos speaking at the "noob" level, while also being equally helpful to those learning for the first time that are noobs. Love the content, depth, pace, and wide range of topics. Keep it up, if you don't have one already, NUMBER ONE FAN, RIGHT HERE!!

Thank you Chuck! I work for a security company that sells a SIEM product, but my access is very limited, and information is not shared (security people tend to be tight lipped). With Wazuh I can finally try out these concepts without limitations, and learn the terminology so that I'm speaking the same language as the engineers I work with. Wazah will be going on a spare NUC this weekend, so thanks for giving me something to do this weekend!

Hey Chuck! I know you'll never read this, however, you should try spinning up a Security Onion VM in your internal lab/farm and check it out. Wazuh is just ONE of that many SIEM apps/utilities included. It could make for a lot of quality content if you did a brief "intro/overview" on each of the apps (Playbook, FleetDM, osquery, CyberChef, Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, Suricata, Zeek, and ofc Wazuh). For your followers interested in SOC Analyst/Cybersecurity, this would be a great taste of reality for those perusing that career path. Yes it's open source (free). Just an idea.

@@NetworkChuck Yes please! I was introduced to Security Onion years ago at a local BSides event. This was back when they still used Snort for their IDS. The main issues I saw most users complain about were the amounts of log storage required and the fact that most of today's traffic is encrypted. It's claim to fame has always been its ability to provide contextual data around events, but with everything now using encryption (even DNS queries via settings in modern browsers) I imagine it's ability to peer into network activity has been somewhat diminished. If I'm wrong in assuming this please correct me. Might also be a good topic to address in that video. This video on Wazuh was great though, thanks Chuck!

Just a hint, instead of manually changing configuration on each host, its better to use shared configuration in the admin console. You can make groups out of agents and apply taht shared config to specific groups. Much easier to do it once than changing for example 200 config files or making script for AD to copy that config file.

I found this one in a frantic rush to find a SIEM i could use for a proof of concept for the course I am studying and it was AMAZING! Easy to set up thanks to your walkthrough but also the run down on config, so helpful and will be so good to learn the ins and outs of blue team and defense. So, thank you mate, really appreciate your work!

Thanks man! I have several tools at work comparable to Wazuh, but I was looking for a vulnerability scanner... this looks great! I appreciate the time you're taking to research and prepare these kind of videos. Keep it up!

As always, great blend of amazing content, information and entertainment. Keep up the great work!

Installation went perfectly fine and what a useful tool indeed! Thank you. I have to add that your channel is great and very practically useful so please keep up the good job.

Hi Chuck. This is probably one of the best you've done yet. Keep up the great work!

I utilize Tenable at work, very similar to this. Was looking for a good lightweight home lab alternative and this is very helpful. . . will definitely be tinkering around with this.

If you're only monitoring a small number of client systems, the $5/month Linode should work just fine. However, you have to create and mount additional swap space (swapfile in this case is easiest). Obviously not recommended for a production environment, but works fine for a home lab.

Absolutely enjoyed this video! I setup my own Wazuh Server running on CentOS previously; However, your tutorial has been instrumental on setting up my Wazuh to monitor my environment. The Active Response was something I was not even tracking on previously and can be a huge time saver in configuring your webservers to do exactly what you can do in Wazuh (e.g., blocking logon attempts). Definitely bookmarking this video as I work on that portion and other configurations. Waiting for Wazuh to implement support for running vulnerability scans on Amazon Linux 2023 servers, hopefully I can turn that on soon! Thanks Chuck!

Thank you Chuck for taking the time to make this video. this is very cool.

It is great to see OSSEC still doing great things. this is the tool (Security Onion suite) that I got my real start with 10 years ago, and I STILL highly recommend the same stack because I have not seen an agent that does what the ossec agent does with the level of simplicity of setup. Man this makes me want to return to Security form Devops :) Thanks as always Chuck!

I've started to follow you a week ago and I really enjoy your videos, including this one! Thanks a lot to bring us some information about security as well as a great tool like Wazuh, great job Chuck!

I needed this 2 weeks ago. Thanks for the vid and can't wait to stand this up!

This actually pretty good solution for SIEM monitoring because we have multiple Windows BI tools environment in Azure, and sometimes we need to know what the developer did to fix the issue on prod and non-prod so the next guy shouldn't have any problem tracking down what the previous guy were doing to fix the issue

Now if this works, it will be even more secure and no machine will be connecting back to the real server location. This is of course only good for those doing on-prem installs.

Chuck, I absolutely love your content and the way you teach! A major part of why I decided to pursue cybersecurity myself. Now as to this video, can you share how you’d configure wazuh to work with MacOS the way you showed it with windows?

I've had great experiences working with Wazuh. I thought it was interesting that you referred to it as a SIEM, which is correct, but I've always (or at least for the past couple of years) as XDR or EDR. The agent is so good and you can do so much with it. Security Onion includes this as one of the agents they work with, but I was so impressed with the web GUI native to Wazuh, I chose to just use that. Thanks again Chuck for adding to my home lab todo list.

This is awesome!! I just got done playing around with it for about 15 hours! I used their documentation to integrate nmap scans into the manager. Unfortunately, no luck yet. I'm gonna go sleep now lol

It was fantastic. Cannot wait to stand up the wazuh server for my 200+ server environments. Hopefully it will not scare me with millions of vulnerabilities.... Thank you Chuck!

As an elastic engineer, it is nice to see the many ways our stuff is used. Good job, Wazuh.

Awesome tutorial , love the energy and excitement you bring to teaching. Student for Life!

Hell yes, you did it! :P I started with Wazuh two years ago and implemented it in my business. Currently, I'm using the default Wazuh ruleset, and I've written around 200,000 rules, I guess. But anyway, getting alerts is a nice-to-have, and not logging everything is the best you can do. However, the almighty kill feature is the FIM Module and the active response. The Active Response will handle the firewall drop and block brute force attempts by itself. I configured the FIM module on a folder, let's say /root/fim_auto_ansible, and there is a cronjob that downloads the new version of auditd/rules.d daily. The FIM will only trigger the alert when the File-SHA is different. With a local_rule, you can trigger an ansible-playbook command that copies the new rule.d file to all servers and shows you the changes on the Wazuh dashboard in the alert log. I enjoy experimenting with some exciting configurations and rebuilding some stuff. I use OpenSearch to send the logs from the Wazuh-manager, first with Fluent-bit to Graylog in a JSON format. If you are using Wazuh with different tools and operating systems, you need to normalize the fields from a log to get better and faster searches. But this is really a deep dive into it. Keep up the great work!

Dope! Thanks for the tool and demo!

Good stuff. Wazuh has been popping off lately and that is definitely something nice to see!

Great video, started to deploy wazuh in our company and been blown away so far. Is it possible to configure active response actions on windows hosts as well or maybe even to trigger active response on other software (EDR/XDR) through an API connection?
