The '''Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment''' ('''AIDE''') was initially developed as a [[free software|free]] replacement for [[Tripwire (company)|Tripwire]] licensed under the terms of the [[GNU General Public License]] (GPL).

Line 33 ⟶ 31:

When the administrator wants to run an integrity test, the administrator places the previously built database in an accessible place and commands AIDE to compare the database against the real status of the system. Should a change have happened to the computer between the snapshot creation and the test, AIDE will detect it and report it to the administrator. Alternatively, AIDE can be configured to run on a schedule and report changes daily using scheduling technologies such as [[cron]], which is the default behavior of the [[Debian]] AIDE package.<ref>{{cite web|title=Using Aide on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) and Debian 7 (Wheezy)|url=http://www.snekul.com/wordpress/blog/2012/09/27/using-aide-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts-precise-pangolin-and-debian-7-wheezy/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130109055116/http://www.snekul.com/wordpress/blog/2012/09/27/using-aide-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts-precise-pangolin-and-debian-7-wheezy/|url-status=dead|archive-date=9 January 2013|accessdate=12 March 2013}}</ref>

This is mainly useful for security purposes, given that any malicious change which could have happened inside of the system would be reported by AIDE.
