Step 3 – Download Extensions (Optional)
Rule Generator – Generates OSSEC rules from other security products. For example, takes ModSecurity Rules and generates unique OSSEC rules for each modsecurity rule, allowing you to tune OSSEC for unique events, instead of treating all events from your WAF, IDS or other security product the same.
