.TH TWINTRO 8 "04 Jan 2018" "Open Source Tripwire 2.4"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
twintro \- introduction to \fITripwire\fP software
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fITripwire 2.4\fP is a file integrity assessment tool for UNIX-like systems. Rather than preventing an intruder or virus
|
|
from attacking system files, \fITripwire\fP detects intrusions when
|
|
they do occur. By comparing system files and directories against a
|
|
previously stored "baseline" database, \fITripwire\fP finds any
|
|
additions, deletions, or changes to specified properties. This allows
|
|
the system administrator to determine the extent of the problem and
|
|
begin necessary damage control.
|
|
.PP
|
|
After \fITripwire\fP is installed on a system, the following four
|
|
commands are used:
|
|
.RS 0.3i
|
|
.ie n .HP
|
|
.el .PP
|
|
.BR tripwire (8)
|
|
is used for most of the basic operations of the
|
|
software. This includes creation of the \fITripwire\fP database, and
|
|
checking the integrity of the filesystem against that database.
|
|
.ie n .HP
|
|
.el .PP
|
|
.BR twadmin (8)
|
|
is used to create, encode, and sign \fITripwire\fP policy,
|
|
configuration, and key files, and
|
|
for various administrative functions.
|
|
.ie n .HP
|
|
.el .PP
|
|
.BR twprint (8)
|
|
prints \fITripwire\fP database and report files in
|
|
a plain text format.
|
|
.ie n .HP
|
|
.el .PP
|
|
.BR siggen (8)
|
|
is a file utility that displays hash
|
|
values for files.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
In addition to the command references listed above, the following three
|
|
man pages provide information on important components of the
|
|
\fITripwire\fP package.
|
|
.RS 0.3i
|
|
.ie n .HP
|
|
.el .PP
|
|
.BR twfiles (5)
|
|
provides an overview of the various files created and
|
|
used by \fITripwire\fP, including default locations and settings.
|
|
.ie n .HP
|
|
.el .PP
|
|
.BR twconfig (4)
|
|
explains the configuration file, which is used to set
|
|
system-specific information that affects \fITripwire\fP operation.
|
|
.ie n .HP
|
|
.el .PP
|
|
.BR twpolicy (4)
|
|
explains the policy file, which specifies the files
|
|
and directories \fITripwire\fP should check, and how they should be
|
|
scanned.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
Using the
|
|
.B \(hy\(hyhelp
|
|
flag with any \fITripwire\fP command
|
|
(e.g.\ \fBtripwire\ \(hy\(hyhelp\fP) will print a short summary of the
|
|
command modes for that command. If a mode selector is also specified
|
|
(e.g.\ \fBtripwire\ \(hy\(hycheck\ \(hy\(hyhelp\fP), a mode\(hyspecific
|
|
usage message will be displayed. Using the \fBall\fP argument with the
|
|
\fB--help\fP flag (e.g.\ \fBtripwire\ \(hy\(hyhelp\ all\fP) will print
|
|
detailed usage messages for all modes of the specified command.
