Tripwire Online

Axel came up an idea to write an on-line Tripwire – checking the checksums of files before they are executed. This seems to be quite easily doable using LSM. however, they are a few issues that need to be understood:

  • Execution of scripts/perl programs, etc. – cannot prevent it :-(
  • Dynamic library loading – how to do it in LSM
  • Policy loading – how to read policies in Kernel mode

Hum…. such thing already exists and is an open source project ;-) Digsig
