tripwire checks file and directory integrity; it is a utility that compares a designated set of files and directories to information stored in a previously generated database. Any differences are flagged and logged, including added or deleted entries. When run against system files on a regular basis, tripwire lets you spot changes in critical system files and to immediately take appropriate damage control measures.
