Best Practice Auditd Configuration

The idea of this auditd configuration is to provide a basic configuration that

• works out-of-the-box on all major Linux distributions
• fits most use cases
• produces a reasonable amount of log data
• covers security relevant activity
• is easy to read (different sections, many comments)

The configuration is based on the following sources

Gov.uk auditd rules alphagov/puppet-auditd#1

CentOS 7 hardening https://highon.coffee/blog/security-harden-centos-7/#auditd---audit-daemon

Linux audit repo https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-userspace/tree/master/rules

Auditd high performance linux auditing https://linux-audit.com/tuning-auditd-high-performance-linux-auditing/
