IIS Server Security Software

Server Config
1

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for software that will monitor my web server and send me alerts when someone tries to login, deletes/changes files or if the server shuts off etc… Is there anything like this on the market? I’m sure there has to be something similar. Any suggestions are more then welcome.

Thanks!

Not for everything together.

Personally I’d go for these:

  • SNMP monitoring via Nagios or your monitoring software of choice
  • Tripwire for change management

Those look to be Linux only services… anything for IIS?

Uh… SNMP is available on Windows and comes as standard with all server editgions.

Tripwire (commercial version) has a Windows version available too…

If you weren’t “limited” by windows, I could have suggested a whole heap of other free tools to do all that and more :slight_smile:

Well, you probably don’t want an email when someone tries to login or you will get a login for every request. And changing files could also generate lots of false positives. Anyhow, there are two separate angles here – intrusion detection and system monitoring. I would ask the hosts if they have any monitoring solution, because it really needs to live on a separate box at the end of the day.
