Lemona

Mission Statement

The Lemona project's objectives are to provide:

a complete proposal for a secured and reliable open architecture;
and its full-featured implementation.

The goals of the Lemona software are:

to monitor and to trace system activity at the kernel and user level;
to report and to store archives of this activity on remote and/or local repositories;
to provide understandable information for the recovery and forensics analysis of compromised systems.

Master of IT at Macquarie University

Lemona was started by Laurent Malvert and Kenfe-Mickael Laventure, students at the Macquarie University in 2008, as part of the completion requirements for their Master of Information Technology (Software Engineering) program, and more specifically for research spanning the ITEC851, ITEC854, ITEC855, ITEC856 units (which may now be defunct, superseded, or different than what they used to be).

Licenses

The original Lemona project contains patches and modules developed for the Linux Kernel. Therefore, it is currently released under the terms of the General Public License (version 2).

However, it is planned to have Lemona's other modules released under the terms of the more permissive MIT/X11 License in the future, only the kernel patches remaining published under the GPLv2.
