A tool that checks for unexpected logins (IP, username or time based) from system logs

How to use

Populate a configuration file with your rules: add the IPs, usernames and timespans that look normal or suspicious. See doc/config-example.yml for an example.
Note that timespans are ignored for the moment.

Run ./access-log-supervisor --config /your/config/file --type log-type /var/log/your-log
type is the shortName of the parser to use (e.g. apache, auth...)

See ./access-log-supervisor --help for the available commands, options, and their default values.

Input formats

Several log input formats are available.
See the src/parsers/ folder for a list of available parsers.

Output

Various output formats are available (plain text, HTML...).
See the src/serializers/ folder for a list of available serializers.
The output can be mailed in case the config files requires so.

How to build

• libsqlite3-dev
• cmake (to build a static dependancy)

Do not forget to also fetch the submodules (git submodule init; git submodule update) so that you can build the required static dependancies.

Run make to build to app.
Run make test to build the test suite, which can be run with build/tests.

Running this project requires these dependancies:

• libcidr
• libsqlite3
• (optionally) a working sendmail setup in case you want the program to be able to send you summary e-mails.

Developer documentation

A Doxygen documentation is available. Run make doc to generate it. Open it via doc/developer-documentation.html

Notes

This tool can look over-tested (if ever a concept of "too much testing" existed), since this began as an "exercise project" I made after following a course on software testing.
