Description

integrit is an alternative to file integrity verification programs like tripwire and aide. It helps you determine whether an intruder has modified a computer system. Its features include: * Small memory footprint during runtime. This is a big deal because a machine that is important enough to protect is probably doing important things. Since the other processes are important, integrit doesn't step on anyone's toes: its conservative with memory. * Simple, modular design and implementation means a smaller learning curve and better potential for open-source development. * Uses up-to-date cryptographic algorithms from gnupg. * Designed with unattended use in mind, e.g., integrit includes the MD5 checksum of newly generated databases in its report. * Intuitive cascading rulesets for the paths listed in the configuration file. * An option to reset the access times of selected files or directory trees after doing checksums. * Output format can be XML or an easy-to-scan human-readable format. * Simultaneous check and update: integrit can generate a new database while running a check against an old database. * Distribution contains standalone auxiliary programs for convenience that you can safely ignore or else use when needed.
