OpenBSM 1.1 Introduction OpenBSM is an open source implementation of Sun's BSM event auditing file format and API. Originally created for Apple Computer by McAfee Research, OpenBSM is now maintained by volunteers and through the generous contribution of several organizations. OpenBSM includes several command line tools, including auditreduce(8) and praudit(8) for reducing and printing audit trails, as well as the libbsm(3) library to manage configuration files, generate audit records, and parse and print audit trils. Coupled with a kernel audit implementation, OpenBSM can be used to maintain system audit streams, and is a foundation for a full audit-enabled system. Portions of OpenBSM, including include files and token-building routines, are reusable in a kernel audit implementation, and may be found in the FreeBSD and Mac OS X kernels. Contents OpenBSM consists of several directories: bin/ Audit-related command line tools bsm/ Library include files for BSM compat/ Compatibility code to build on various operating systems etc/ Sample /etc/security configuration files libauditd Common audit management functions for auditd and launchd libbsm/ Implementation of BSM library interfaces and man pages man/ System call and configuration file man pages modules/ Directory for auditfilterd module source sys/ System include files for BSM test/ Test token sets and geneneration program tools/ Tool directory, including audump to dump databases The following programs are included with OpenBSM: audit Command line audit control tool auditd Audit management daemon auditfilterd Experimental event monitoring framework auditreduce Audit trail reduction tool audump Debugging tool to parse and print audit databases praudit Tool to print audit trails Build and Installation Please see the file INSTALL for build and installation instructions.
