How to install AIDE on CentOS
AIDE is a tool for monitoring file system changes. It can be used to detect unauthorized monitored files and directories.
AIDE was written to be a simple and free alternative to. Features currently included in AIDE are as follows:
- File attributes monitored: permissions, inode, user, group file size, mtime, atime, ctime, links and growing size.
- Checksums and hashes supported: SHA1, MD5, RMD160, and TIGER.
- CRC32, HAVAL and GOST if Mhash support is compiled in.
- Plain text configuration files and database for simplicity.
- Rules, variables and macros that can be customized to local site or system policies.
- Powerful regular expression support to selectively include or exclude files and directories to be monitored.
- gzip database compression if zlib support is compiled in.
- Stand alone static binary for easy client/server monitoring configurations.
- Free software licensed under the GNU General Public License.
This document will help in installation & configuration of AIDE “Advance Intrusion Detection Environment” on Centos, I am assuming that you have installed Centos 5 with all necessary packages but minimal installation is preferred.
