Of course, collecting log data for analysis from syslog is pretty
low-tech when it comes to detecting and/or stopping attacks in
real-time and I'd hope this wouldn't be encouraged as a general
practice.  If that's your aim then you should be campaigning for a
/dev/audit device and the instrumenting of suitable logpoints in the
kernel and various utilities.  Then your stuff just opens /dev/audit,
registers an event selection mask with it, and goes to sleep waiting
for events.
