Hi, do You have any experience with this linux software? AIDE - Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment
I installed it and used it, and this is my guide for CentOS (Community enterprise Operating System), but it will most probably work for other linux too.
What AIDE does: This SW basically create hashes for folders and files and result is saved into gzipped database file. Then admin can periodically run check of current linux files/folders against AIDE gzipped databaze file. Differencies are reported to admin. Admin can set which folders/files to monitor and which to skip.
Aide official page: http://aide.sourceforge.net/
Aide installation on CentOS:
(if its not found by yum, make sure to install EPEL repository (google it))
Move/backup default config file and create new one:
Code:
mv /etc/aide.conf /etc/aide.conf_orig;vi /etc/aide.conf
Copy & paste following code which dont use SElinux (default aide .conf use Selinux and it fails to work on CentOS where selinux is disabled, retunrs erros "lgetfilecon_raw failed for /:No data available", source of .conf):
Code:

Save file and quit (:wq and Enter)
-i initialize (create database of files/folders for future comparisons) - this is one time process
Process can take 10minutes+. Database will be created in /var/lib/aide/aide.db.new.gz , rename this file into aide.db.gz so check command works:
Code:
mv /var/lib/aide/aide.db.new.gz /var/lib/aide/aide.db.gz
-C check - monitor/check file/folder changes regularly with aide:
Note:
aide commands can be run with lower priority so it dont influence processes of higher importance, example:
Once you do first check, you may find some files was already changed, and if you want to exclude certain directory from checks, just edit /etc/aide.conf and add line with exclamation mark like:
Code:
!/usr/local/lxlabs/kloxo/
You can setup an cronjob like following one to check files regularly:
Code:
0 1 * * * nice -19 aide -C | mail you@domain -s "Aide Report"
(this one is run every midnight and following is an example email you receive on each run)
The thing that puzzles me is how to exclude some filetypes, example .swf, .tar.gz, .zip from monitoring in all monitored directories. Mainly want to exclude from /home/username/
