LFD - Improvement Suggestions

[ImZan]

#1 - File Integrity Checking

Being able to monitor important folders and files for changes. IE : /etc , /etc/passwd, groups , shadow, config files, system binaries . Based on md5 checkings ?

lfd already does that with the LF_DIRWATCH_FILE setting and the csf.dirwatch file.

But - if I enable the disable option for suspicious files - won't it delete those ?

it would be great to be able to create a custumized security level.

In my case for exemple, I would like to use the High Security Level but without the Remove suspicious files setting.

No, the LF_LF_DIRWATCH_FILE setting doesn't use LF_DIRWATCH_DISABLE

You can always just set the High Level and then go into the configuration file and disable any options that you want.

What would define a suspicious file? Also, if your system is already compromised it is too late to get a good backup. How will you know that you are not just backing up and restoring the exploit?
