Tool of the Day: AIDE Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment
AIDE is an intrusion detection system that detects changes to files
on the local system. It creates a database from the regular
expression rules that it finds from the config file. Once this database
is initialized it can be used to verify the integrity of the files. It has
several message digest algorithms (md5, sha1, rmd160, tiger,
haval, etc.) that are used to check the integrity of the file. More
algorithms can be added with relative ease. All of the usual file
attributes can also be checked for inconsistencies.
This package contains the statically linked binary for "normal"
systems.
You will almost certainly want to tweak the configuration file in
/etc/aide/aide.conf or drop your own config snippets into
/etc/aide/aide.conf.d.
