privileged access management

A practical guide to convert noisy Linux PAM/auth logs into actionable signals using standard tools (auditd, journalctl, jq) plus a tiny Python IsolationForest detector: baseline and watch /etc/pam.d for drift, normalize journald events, flag anomalies (password spraying, success-after-fail), validate with pamtester, and automate via cron/systemd—delivering SIEM-like insight with minimal overhead.
