In this episode of Linux Server Admin with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into Linux auditd, the powerful audit framework built into the kernel. They explain how auditd can log security-relevant events like file accesses, system calls, and user logins, and how to configure custom rules to detect suspicious behavior. Using real examples, they walk through setting up audit rules for monitoring changes to /etc/passwd, tracking command executions, and forwarding logs to a central collector. They also discuss the difference between auditd and other tools like syslog and SELinux, and share best practices for avoiding audit log overload. By the end, you will understand how to use auditd to strengthen your server security posture and meet compliance requirements like PCI DSS.
