CEF Generation, Lib, and Syslog Client Protection

Summary:

The document describes a software tool called CEF Generation Lib and Syslog Client, developed by HP for use with ArcSight, Atalla, Fortify, and TippingPoint products. Its main purpose is to help users format events in the Common Event Format (CEF) which can be sent via syslog/UDP to a specified receiver or log host. The tool includes a Ruby module for generating CEF events and a sample client script that takes command-line arguments to create and send CEF formatted logs. The software requires a working Ruby installation and does not need any external dependencies, making it easy to integrate into existing systems. It supports basic attributes such as event name, source address, destination address, device product, and more. The sample client script allows users to specify these attributes via command-line arguments in camel-cased schema format. The documentation provides an example of how to use the tool with a specific example: "cef_sender --name="Test Event" --sourceAddress="192.168.1.1" --destinationAddress="192.168.1.2" --deviceProduct="TestEventGenerator" --deviceEventClassId="test:100" <133>myhost.domain.com Jul 17 2009 14:20:15 CEF:0|ERCOT|TestEventGenerator|0.2|test:100|Test Event|1|src=192.168.1.1 dst=192.168.1.2". The software is distributed as a zip file named "cef.zip" and carries a note of caution about potentially breaking something if used improperly, suggesting testing in a development environment before applying it in production settings. In the context of another platform or service mentioned as "okmarks," which likely refers to some sort of bookmarking, sharing, or social media interaction tool, there are buttons labeled like "Like" and various actions such as "Report abuse," "View as PDF," and "Remove from profile." These options allow users to interact with the content in different ways. The interface might be part of a larger system developed by Jive Software, as indicated by mentions of Jive Software and specific version numbers and terms like "revision: Custom." The platform's privacy policy, terms and conditions, and feedback options for users are also mentioned, highlighting the importance of transparency and user engagement in managing data and interactions. In summary, "okmarks" appears to be an interface within a larger software system (presumably developed by Jive Software) that allows users to interact with content, manage their interactions, and access information related to platform policies and user rights.

The software is distributed as a zip file named "cef.zip" and carries a note of caution, stating that users might break something if used improperly, so it's recommended to test in a development environment before applying it in production settings. The text provided appears to be related to a platform or service named "okmarks," which likely refers to some sort of bookmarking, sharing, or social media interaction tool. The interface features buttons labeled like "Like" and various actions such as "Report abuse," "View as PDF," and "Remove from profile." These options seem to allow users to interact with the platform in different ways, possibly related to content management, privacy settings, or reporting inappropriate content. The text also includes mentions of Jive Software, which might suggest that this interface is part of a larger system developed by Jive Software. The version number "7.0.2.0" and the term "revision: Custom" could indicate specific features or customizations added to the software at that time. The platform's privacy policy, terms and conditions, as well as feedback options for users, are also mentioned in the text, which is typical of platforms seeking to be transparent about how they handle user data and provide a means for users to give feedback or report issues. In summary, "okmarks" appears to be an interface within a larger software system (presumably developed by Jive Software) that allows users to interact with content in various ways, manage their interactions, and access information related to platform policies and user rights.
