Description:

 

Rhythm Host Intrusion Prevent System is a log file monitor IDS/IPS for Windows.  RHIPS can alert you via email when it matches detection criteria or execute a custom command.  For alerting and response specify the number of instances before alerting or taking action.  If specifying a command action another command can be run later on a timed basis.  Port to IP address correlation allows for the connecting IP address to be identified and action taken against it. Taking action on an IP is done with token variables that can be specified in the command line. These token variables will be replaced by the actual data.  

 

Tokens:

 

%TAB% - Tab character

%EDT% - Event date and time

%EDTF% - Event date and time format to replace spaces " ", colons ":" and forward slashes "/"

%CDT% - Current date time

%CDTF% - Current date time format to replace spaces " ", colons ":" and forward slashes "/"

%LIP% - Local IP address

%RIP% - Remote IP address

 

Compatibility:

 

-           Tested on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7

 

Requirements:

 

IP address correlation requires the Windows firewall be enabled and set to log successful connections
