Re: Debian security : File integrity checkers
I don't know about this tools, but debsums is pretty easy to use, man debsums will give you the basics you'll need. It can check integrity of packages and conf files against md5 sum, generate a new md5 for manually modified files ...etc.
Used in conjunction with rkhunter and chkrootkit it will provide a reasonable amount of monitoring. Again man will give you the basics with these simple programs.
