    This would not help for existing event logs but for future use try using
    Snare to generate syslog messages to feed into KIWI Syslog and set up
    filters from there to trap what you are interested in. Based on that, you
    could generate an email for a critical event or just dump into a SQL
    database for generating reports. This would allow you to monitor all of you
    servers.

    Subject: process tracking

    Hi,

    does anybody know a good tool for analyzation of process tracking event
    log messages (id 592 and 593) in windows 2000/2003? but please do not tell
    me about:

    dumpel -f procs.txt -e 592 593 -m security -l security

    since it is very lame (parsing the resulted file in Excel for example is
    very problematic). I would like to have the report, which would display:

    1) the names of all the processes ever run in the system.

    2) for each process form point 1, I would like to see *how* it was
    created, i.e. by which parent processes. this is IMO extremely important
    for discovering things like cmd.exe started by sqlserv.exe for example,
    which is the obvious sign of some simple shellcodes.

    I have spent some time researching process hiding techniques (aka
    rootkits), some smart ways of discovering these hidden processes, and
    another methods of better hiding, etc... however, I realized, that maybe
    this all hide and seek game is not necessary, since windows admins seem to
    not have any good tool for accounting even unhidden processes...

    regards,
    joanna.
