Active Response is an ossec-driven (IDS) feature of Imunify360 which has been re-engineered to make it capable of blocking access to a specific server port being attacked.
The purpose of the feature is significantly reducing false positive rate while increasing its capabilities to detect and block aggressive brute force requests.
In order to activate Active Response, the following lines should be added into /etc/sysconfig/imunify360/imunify360.config:
OSSEC:
active_response: true
systemctl restart imunify360
How to apply changes from CLI
In order to apply changes via command-line interface (CLI), you can use the following command:
imunify360-agent config update ‘{"SECTION": {"parameter": value}}’
For example, if you want to set MALWARE_SCAN_INTENSITY.cpu = 5 from a command line, then you should execute the following command:
imunify360-agent config update ‘{"MALWARE_SCAN_INTENSITY": {"cpu": 5}}’
It is also possible to apply several parameters at once. For example:
imunify360-agent config update '{"PAM": {"exim_dovecot_protection": false, "enable":true}}'
