So it does AIde:

description
AIDE (Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment) is a free replacement for
Tripwire. It does the same things as the semi-free Tripwire and more. There
are other free replacements available so why build a new one? All the other
replacements do not achieve the level of Tripwire. And I wanted a program that
would exceed the limitations of Tripwire. The idea is that for an intruder to
get in, certain files on the system must change - configuration files, for
example. And once an intruder is in, in order to do much useful, the intruder
must gain root access - something else that requires changing files. aide
ensures that you (root) can be notified of ANY changes to a configurable list
of properties (modification date, size, various hash-values) of a configurable
list files. Aide should be installed right after the OS installation, and
before you have connected your system to a network (i.e., before any
possibility exists that someone could alter files on your system).
