NAME¶
twintro - introduction to Tripwire softwareDESCRIPTION¶
Tripwire 2.4 is a file integrity assessment product for Linux networks. Rather than preventing an intruder or virus from attacking system files, Tripwire detects intrusions when they do occur. By comparing system files and directories against a previously stored "baseline" database, Tripwire finds any additions, deletions, or changes to specified properties. This allows the system administrator to determine the extent of the problem and begin necessary damage control. After Tripwire is installed on a system, the following four commands are used:tripwire(8) is used for most of the basic operations of
the software. This includes creation of the Tripwire database, and
checking the integrity of the filesystem against that database.
twadmin(8) is used to create, encode, and sign
Tripwire policy, configuration, and key files, and for various
administrative functions.
twprint(8) prints Tripwire database and report
files in a plain text format.
siggen(8) is a file utility that displays hash values for
files.
twfiles(5) provides an overview of the various files
created and used by Tripwire, including default locations and
settings.
twconfig(4) explains the configuration file, which is
used to set system-specific information that affects Tripwire
operation.
twpolicy(4) explains the policy file, which specifies the
files and directories Tripwire should check, and how they should be
scanned.
