Wazuh is a free, open-source SIEM and XDR platform for log analysis, intrusion detection, file-integrity monitoring, and vulnerability detection across endpoints. Like Security Onion and Malcolm, it’s a defensive/blue-team platform rather than an offensive toolkit, included here for its official downloadable VM appliance.

Use it only in environments you own or are explicitly authorized to monitor — see the disclaimer.

Getting started

Wazuh ships an official all-in-one OVA (built on Amazon Linux 2023) that bundles the Wazuh indexer, server, and dashboard on a single VM — import it into VirtualBox/VMware and it's ready with no separate install step, though it doesn't provide high availability out of the box. Endpoints run a lightweight Wazuh agent that ships logs, file-integrity, and vulnerability data back to the server for correlation. The official docs cover both this VM path and distributed/cluster deployment for production use.
