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