DESCRIPTION

The integrit system detects intrusion by detecting when trusted files have been altered.
By creating an integrit database (update mode) that is a snapshot of a host system in a known state, the host's files can later be verified as unaltered by running integrit in check mode to compare current state to the recorded known state. integrit can do a check and an update simultaneously.
