Is OSSEC dead? #2078

Closed steffenfritz closed 1 year ago

steffenfritz commented 1 year ago

I see a lot of errors in the documentation, the issues on Github are not handled by developers, old libraries are used, e.g. PCRE2 in the Makefile etc pp

For a security product all these points are big, red flags!

So: Is this project still alive?

Hi.

Not sure if you answered on the correct thread ...

I use ossec for many years. Compiled it for many operating systems, wrote custom rules etc. But this project, at least as an open source project, seems to be dead. For example, using an outdated library version of PCRE2 is a no-go and this is not addressed, not in the documentation and - even worse - not in the Makefile.

I can't/won't speak for the Atomic folks, but I haven't really been involved for a while. It started as a break for health reasons, and I just haven't been interested in working on the project in the mean time.
