INSECURE.DK

File System Saint, lightweight host-based intrusion detection system with primary focus on speed and ease of use.

Original version of File System Saint is no longer maintained/developed. You should check out the complete rewrite called "Saint" available at Unixgeeks.org

Project started by haver and kula with aim to develop an alternative file integrity checking utility. We both do some *nix sysadmin work, with a big emphasis on security. After using other file integrity checking utilities in the past, we realized that most of them where either missing things, had a bunch of unnecessary 'features' or were complicated to use/maintain. We wanted something faster and simpler.

FSS (a very bogus name, got better?), a BSD licensed piece of software written in perl was born, with the following design criteria:

  • speed
  • minimal complexity (novice sysadmins friendly)
  • cross-platform
  • Have we succeeded? We would like to think so, but you are the judge. If you find a bug or have suggestions/improvements, please let us know.

    Source
    Development of fss is currently done on OpenBSD and perl 5.8.
