- 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.
