Product Name: LSM (Linux Socket Monitor)
Product Version: 0.6
Homepage: Linux Socket Monitor | R-fx Networks
Description: A comprehensive alert system, simple program usage & installation make LSM ideal for deployment in any linux environment (geared for web servers). Using a rather simple yet logical structure, LSM identifies changes in both Network Sockets and Unix Domain Sockets. By recording a base set of what sockets should be active then comparing the currently active socket information to that of the base comparison files, we highlight otherwise unknown services.


Step 1: Downloading, Installing and cleaning up sources of LSM

cd /usr/local/src wget http://www.rfxn.com/downloads/lsm-current.tar.gz tar -zxvf lsm-current.tar.gz cd lsm-0.* ./install.sh rm -Rf /usr/local/src/lsm-*

Step 2: Edit LSM config
