About:
AIDE (Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment) is a free replacement for Tripwire(tm). It generates a database that can be used to check the integrity of files on server. It uses regular expressions for determening which files get added to the database. You can use several message digest algorithms to ensure that the files have not been tampered with.

Tripwire, although well established, is not GPLed. It is free in a monetary sense (IF you are not a commercial entity) but not in a free speech sense. AIDE is GPLed. If you don't know what that means, see www.gnu.org

The latest version of Tripwire is now commercial. I believe the older versions are still free to use. Peace, Pete

[»] aide ftp permissions

The permissions of the aide-0.1.tar.gz were incorrect so that the file could not be downloaded. The permissions have now been fixed.
