## integrit-4.1 – file integrity checker

## 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.
