Tripwire is a system integrity checker, a utility that compares properties of designated files and directories against information stored in a previously generated database. Any changes to these files are flagged and logged, including those that were added or deleted, with optional email reporting. Additionally, support files are cryptographically signed.
A software tool for security. Basically, it works with a database that maintains information about the byte count of files. If the byte count has changed, it will identify it to the system security manager.

Tripwire is a free and open-source software tool. It functions as a host-based intrusion detection system. It does not concern itself directly with detecting intrusion attempts in real time at the periphery of a computing system (as in network intrusion detection systems), but rather looks for and reports on the resultant changes of state in the computing system under observation.
Tripwire, Inc. is a software company based in Portland, Oregon. The company produces change-auditing software. Among the company's products was Tripwire, which has evolved into a Linux open source intrusion-detection system.
