The Wazuh architecture is based on agents, running on the monitored endpoints, that forward security data to a central server. Agentless devices such as firewalls, switches, routers, and access points are supported and can actively submit log data via Syslog, SSH, or using their API. The central server decodes and analyzes the incoming information and passes the results along to the Wazuh indexer for indexing and storage.
The diagram below represents a Wazuh deployment architecture. It shows the solution components and how the Wazuh server and the Wazuh indexer nodes can be configured as clusters, providing load balancing and high availability.

The license key data is then encrypted and then encoded using the limited alphanumeric alphabet. For online validation, the license server holds the secrets for decrypting the information. For offline validation, the decryption secret(s) are included with the software itself along with the decryption/validation code. Obviously, offline validation means the software isn't secure against someone making a keygen.
Encryption is a complex topic. In general, standard encryption algorithms like AES have block sizes that don't align with the goal of keeping license key lengths short. Therefore, most developers making their own license keys end up writing their own encryption algorithms (an activity which is frequently discouraged) or don't encrypt keys at all, which guarantees that someone will write a keygen. Suffice it to say that good encryption is hard to do right and a decent understanding of how Feistel networks and existing ciphers work are prerequisites.
Writing a keygen is a matter of knowing what a license key consists of and then producing the same output that the original key generator produces. If the algorithm for license key verification is included in and used by the software, then it is just a matter of creating software that does the reverse of the verification process. 2ff7e9595c
