IntegrityGuard

Multiplatform agent for file integrity monitoring (FIM).

The main motivation for this project is to offer all the minimum features required for a reliable FIM that is independent of any other big monitoring platform.

IMPORTANT: This project is currently an ALPHA release. Not suitable for production environment, it is still a work in progress.

Features highlight

• Simple and centralized configuration YAML file (config.yml)

• Generate logs of any changes in real-time for future auditing

• Push notifications to an API endpoint

• Send email alerts

• Supported hashing methods: “md5”, “sha1”, “sha224”, “sha256”, “sha384”, “sha512”

How to use it

1. To install, run pip install integrityguard

2. Edit/provide the configuration file (integrityguard.conf)

   • To copy the original .conf file, run integrityguard --task copy_config --destination <full_path>

   • To provide the new .conf file path use --config <full_path>

3. Generate the reference hashes, run integrityguard --task generate_hashes

   • To provide the target path via command, run integrityguard --task generate_hashes --target <full_path>

4. Start the monitoring, run integrityguard --task monitor

   • To provide the target path via command, run integrityguard --task monitor --target <full_path>
