About This Repo

The objective for this repo is to provide the Wazuh community with rulesets that are more accurate, descriptive, and enriched from various sources and integrations.

Here's why:

• Detection rules can be a tricky business and we believe everyone should have access to a strong and growing ruleset.
• Wazuh serves as a great EDR agent, however the default rulesets are rather laxed (in our opinion). We wanted to start building a strong repo of Wazuh rules for the community to implement themselves and expand upon as new threats arise.
• Cybersecurity is hard enough, let's work together 😄

Installation

You can either manually download the .xml rule files onto your Wazuh Manager or make use of our wazuh_socfortress_rules.sh script

⚠️ USE AT OWN RISK: If you already have custom rules built out, there is a good chance duplicate Rule IDs will exists. This will casue the Wazuh-Manager service to fail! Ensure there are no conflicting Rule IDs and your custom rules are backed up prior to running the wazuh_socfortress_rules.sh script!

1. Become Root User
2. Run the Script

   curl -so ~/wazuh_socfortress_rules.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/socfortress/Wazuh-Rules/main/wazuh_socfortress_rules.sh && bash ~/wazuh_socfortress_rules.sh
