ninja

Ninja is a privilege escalation detection  and  prevention
system for GNU/Linux hosts. While running, it will monitor
process activity on the local host, and keep track of  all
processes  running  as root.  If a process is spawned with
UID or GID zero (root), ninja will log necessary  informa-
tion  about  this process, and optionally kill the process
if it was spawned by an unauthorized user.

A "magic" group can be specified, allowing members of this
group to run any setuid/setgid root executable.

Individual  executables  can be whitelisted.  Ninja uses a
fine grained whitelist that lets you whitelist executables
on  a  group  and/or user basis. This can be used to allow
specific groups or individual users access to  setuid/set-
gid root programs, such as su(1) and passwd(1).
