Modsec2sguil

Modsec2sguil is a Perl script that feeds ModSecurity alerts to Sguil, the Network Security Monitoring (NSM) system. The 0.7 release works as a drop-in replacement for Snort's barnyard. The new 0.8-devX release currently in testing works as a real agent, but it only supports Sguil 0.8.0.


There is some documentation in the tarball. Modsec2sguil is Open Source under the GPLv2 license. It was written by Victor Julien, but also contains some code copyrighted by Ivan Ristic.
