Btw an easier attack is to just modify the script that regularly runs tripwire, usually run from cron.You really need to do a seperation of the checkee from the checkor. If someone has root access on the machine, the could basicly do anything that is needed to cover their tracks.This is why manual checks should still be done, but this is not why automatic checking should be given up.

Something I was thinking of, what if you have two hosts, which don't trust each other in any way, set them up to use a network filesystem of sorts and run tripwire on the "other" host. So for host A, tripwire would run on host B and for host B, tripwire would run on host A. darren
