SIM CD is OSSIM and other various open source security applications included on a preconfigured CentOS Distribution. The CD is bootable and significantly reduces the complexity of OSSIM and OS Installation, Configuration, & Deployment.
Installing SIM CD is as easy as putting the CD into the computer and rebooting. SIM CD is an unattended install. Upon reboot, SIM CD automatically installs the operating system, various other components, and OSSIM. Only the IP Address and root password need be configured after installation.
Every security application on SIM CD is preconfigured to support OSSIM. They are configured using industry-recognized best practices. The configuration is for on a stand-alone installation. This stand-alone installation uses a number of security applications. These are listed in the Features section below. All of these applications run on one computer.

OSSIM uses the following methods to help deliver concise information:
OSSIM integrates, qualifies and correlates both high level and low level security and network events. Sensors are integrated to gain per-view three network/host visibility levels, namely:
OSSIM uses network security information from a variety of Open Source tools; to include:

CentOS is the Community Enterprise Operating System. The goal of CentOS is to provide a stable Linux distribution for corporate users. CentOS is not like many free linux distributions that constantly change and deploy unstable technologies. CentOS’ stable approach allows its users to focus on applications without having to focus on changes in the underlying operating system.
CentOS is derived from sources freely provided by a prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor. CentOS conforms fully with the upstream vendors redistribution policy and aims to be 100% binary compatible.

HISTORY
Computer Security Expert Michael Boman, owner of Boseco, Inc., created SIM CD to reduce the complexity of OSSIM deployment. Boman started Boseco, Inc. to answer computer security needs in Singapore and the surrounding Pacific Area. The Boseco site has evolved into a terrific network security blog. Boman released the ISO creation scripts to Lomin LLC in 2004.
Lomin LLC, updated SIM, added some new features and began distributing SIM CD distribution in the fall of 2005. Lomin continually researches, tests, and includes the latest open source security packages.
Lomin LLC has been using SIM CD since the fall of 2004. It was used in conjunction with the USAR ARIOC IAX. Later, Lomin LLC, deployed SIM in customer profjects, some of which were used by DARPA. SIM was chosen for use after evalutating a number Open Source contenders. SIM is a convenient mechanism to deploy a number of Open Source tools.
