Mac® Security Bible

23.7. Summary

This chapter discussed the importance of knowing when files on your Mac may have changed without your knowledge because this could mean that malware is at work or that a network-based attack of some sort has taken place. I described the process of monitoring file integrity using an open-source tool called Tripwire in some detail, briefly discussed Radmind and Samhain — two other open-source tools — and ended with a description of the somewhat less sophisticated but much friendlier utilities Baseline and Sonar.
