LSM (Linux Socket Monitor)

LSM is a network socket monitor. It is designed to track changes to Network sockets and Unix domain sockets.

A comprehensive alert system, simple program usage & installation make LSM ideal for deployment in any linux environment (geared for web servers). Using a rather simple yet logical structure, LSM identifies changes in both Network Sockets and Unix Domain Sockets. By recording a base set of what sockets should be active then comparing the currently active socket information to that of the base comparison files, we highlight otherwise unknown services.

LSM will ignore services that are currently holding sockets open. Events are only applicable when a 'new' socket is created, be it UDS Stream Socket or TCP Network Socket, LSM will identify it. Currently LSM does not track DGRAM Unix Domain Sockets, but will in the future.
