detectChanges Description

detectChanges is a file integrity checking and management tool. Several applications exist in this product space, but none of them are written in a scripting language and as a result require package installation or compilation.This can cause some problems on systems where a compiler is not available or where administrative privileges have not been granted. Also current applications (tripwire, aide, integrit, etc) require configuring a file before they can be used. While detectChanges does not provide as much functionality, it is sufficient for most users.Here are some key features of "detectChanges":· provides a simple command line interface· md5, sha1, permissions, and user/group ownership modifcation support· permissions set to strict settings to prevent tampering· ability to exclude directories· good error checkingThe following is the script syntax: detectChanges directory ... directoryN -exclude dirA -exclude dirB -help print this screen -init initialize checksums -diff detect checksums changes (must run -init first) -exclude exclude these directories (must be included with init and diff) -verbose show differences in files instead of only listing filename changes -debug enable debug mode (most verbose, does not delete storage files)
