About a month ago, there was much news about the release of COFEE into the torrent wild.

		<description><![CDATA[In working with OSSEC agentless for some time now I have come across some limitations in the implementation that I felt needed to be addressed.

This post will demonstrate an alternative for adding additional features to the OSSEC standard build.]]></description>
