Prelude is a universal "security information management" (sim) system. its goals are performance and modularity. it is divided in two main parts :
- the prelude sensors, responsible for generating alerts, such as
snort sensor, featuring a signature engine, plugins for
protocol analysis, and intrusion detection plugins, and the prelude
log monitoring lackey.
- the prelude report server, collecting data from prelude sensors,
and generating user-readable reports.
this package contains the prelude shared library.
