A few OSSEC HIDS thoughts...
We've used OSSEC HIDS in PCI:DSS environments for years now, but I'm looking to extend the functionality quite a bit.Automated agent installation. (Puppet Labs?)Reporting Analytics / Rules. (Wazuh?)Templated site configuration. (no idea...)The goal would be to prop-up a vanilla OSSEC installation with base configs on a VM (probably in Hyper-V) then create an image we could clone to other future client spaces. This would greatly reduce the time spent on initial project-work, remediating these specific PCI requirements.A few questions:How would you go about it?Is AlienVault worth it? (Demo'ing their product this week.)Have you run into any gotcha's with OSSEC HIDS that are better overcome with another product?Thanks in advance!

[x-post r/Huawei] How secure is the fingerprint lock? (pentesting?)
Ive never been on this sub so i dont know if this is the right place.. but anyways.To preface, let me start by saying i am not a programmer or pentester at all but i do take an interest in learning what is behind the interface of my various electronic devices.So i own a Huawei Mate 9I noticed when I go to "phone manager > applock" you can lock certain apps with the fingerprint scanner. I use kik a lot for messaging people and used that function for this app (as well as literally every other app that would give anyone information about me if they had access). When i receive a notification and click it, my phone first directs me to unlock the app with the fingerprint. However before i unlock it, the person who sent me the message can see that i "read" their message before ever opening their message. This applies with every other messaging app i have at the moment.Again, i dont have much experience in this realm, but with the little knowledge i do have.. it seems that it allows me to access the messages BEFORE i unlock it. It appears that the only reason I cant see the message is because the fingerprint scanner pops up so I cant physically see the message, but the phone can.Assuming someone hacked or installed spyware/malware on my phone, does that mean that the fingerprint lock does not offer me another layer of security?

RFID tag in key fob?
When your smart keyfob looses power you can often start the engine by pushing the start button with the key fob. Suspecting a passive RFID tag, I tried to pick up a 125khz tag with an Innovations reader and tried to read an NFC tag with a PN532 reader to no avail. Anyone know what's in there?
