Abstract
This paper presents a mechanism to enrich logging as required in TCSEC [1] document to detect and stop possible
intrusions based on typical attacks and to protect the sensible audit data from deletion/modification even in root
compromise situation.
After installing Piranha Audit, administrators will have a solid infrastructure for improving security and resistance to
penetration, with only modest performance penalties.
We present experimental results of the advantages of this solution and the performance impact of the mechanism.
