Good Morning,
Thanx to the folks that provided usefull information. Some of your
feedback was quite helpfull, and much appreciated. My requirements
for research were fairly broad: (1) The capability to generate and
compare mathematical hash's of files and/or directories; (2) the
ability to store system specific configuration meta-data and compare;
(3) the ability to store ACL meta-data and compare. Exactly WHAT
files, directories, etc...to monitor and comply with the requirements
against was not specified. Thus my questions.
"TripWire" (to the best of my understanding) is both a commercial
product offering, and a SourceForge Open Source tool that has the
capability of computing, storing and comparing a mathematical hash of
a file, directory of BLOB object.
Not so many thanx to the folks that superior attitude, thinly veiled
as knowledge. It is this behavior that gives the technologist such a
bad reputation to the business side of the house.
As Larry pointed out, without knowing what "Tripwire" might be, it was a
crap-shoot at best how to answer such a question.
Best to make sure "everyone" knows what you're talking about by offering
the definition or, at the very least, enough supporting context for
someone to draw a reasonably intelligent inference.
