%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ Tripwire The Tripwire package contains programs used to verify the integrity of the files on a given system. &lfs7a_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &tripwire-md5sum; Download size: &tripwire-size; Estimated disk space required: &tripwire-buildsize; Estimated build time: &tripwire-time; The tripwire source tarball shown above downloads with the correct name, tripwire-open-source-&tripwire-version;.tar.gz, if using a browser such as Firefox. If you prefer to use a command line program such as wget, you normally would obtain &tripwire-version;.tar.gz. To obtain this package with the proper filename, run: wget -c https://github.com/Tripwire/tripwire-open-source/archive/&tripwire-version;.tar.gz \ -O tripwire-open-source-&tripwire-version;.tar.gz. Tripwire Dependencies Recommended Optional An User Notes: Compile Tripwire by running the following commands: sed -e 's|TWDB="${prefix}|TWDB="/var|' \ -e '/TWMAN/ s|${prefix}|/usr/share|' \ -e '/TWDOCS/s|${prefix}/doc/tripwire|/usr/share/doc/tripwire-&tripwire-version;|' \ -i installer/install.cfg && find . -name Makefile.am | xargs \ sed -i 's/^[[:alpha:]_]*_HEADERS.*=/noinst_HEADERS =/' && sed '/dist/d' -i man/man?/Makefile.am && autoreconf -fi && ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc/tripwire && make The default configuration is to use a local MTA. If you don't have an MTA installed and have no wish to install one, modify install/install.cfg to use an SMTP server instead. Otherwise the install will fail. This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: make install && cp -v policy/*.txt /usr/share/doc/tripwire-&tripwire-version; During make install, several questions are asked, including passwords. If you want to make a script, you have to apply a sed before running make install: sed -i -e 's@installer/install.sh@& -n -s <site-password> -l <local-password>@' Makefile Of course, you should do this with dummy passwords and change them later. Another issue when scripting is that the installer exits when the standard input is not a terminal. You may disable this beahvior with the following sed: sed '/-t 0/,+3d' -i installer/install.sh sed ... installer/install.cfg: This command tells the package to install the program database and reports in /var/lib/tripwire and sets the proper location for man pages and documentation. find ..., sed ..., and autoreconf -fi: The build system is unusable as is, and has to be modified for the build to succeed. make install: This command creates the Tripwire security keys as well as installing the binaries. There are two keys: a site key and a local key which are stored in /etc/tripwire/. cp -v policy/*.txt /usr/doc/tripwire-&tripwire-version;: This command installs the tripwire sample policy files with the other tripwire documentation.i /etc/tripwire/* /etc/tripwire/* Tripwire uses a policy file to determine which files are integrity checked. The default policy file (/etc/tripwire/twpol.txt) is for a default installation and will need to be updated for your system. Policy files should be tailored to each individual distribution and/or installation. Some example policy files can be found in /usr/share/doc/tripwire/. If desired, copy the policy file you'd like to try into /etc/tripwire/ instead of using the default policy file, twpol.txt. It is, however, recommended that you edit your policy file. Get ideas from the examples above and read /usr/share/doc/tripwire/policyguide.txt for additional information. twpol.txt is a good policy file for learning about Tripwire as it will note any changes to the file system and can even be used as an annoying way of keeping track of changes for uninstallation of software. After your policy file has been edited to your satisfaction you may begin the configuration steps (perform as the root) user: twadmin --create-polfile --site-keyfile /etc/tripwire/site.key \ /etc/tripwire/twpol.txt && tripwire --init Depending on your system and the contents of the policy file, the initialization phase above can take a relatively long time. Tripwire will identify file changes in the critical system files specified in the policy file. Using Tripwire while making frequent changes to these directories will flag all these changes. It is most useful after a system has reached a configuration that the user considers stable. To use Tripwire after creating a policy file to run a report, use the following command: tripwire --check > /etc/tripwire/report.txt View the output to check the integrity of your files. An automatic integrity report can be produced by using a cron facility to schedule the runs. Reports are stored in binary and, if desired, encrypted. View reports, as the root user, with: twprint --print-report -r /var/lib/tripwire/report/<report-name.twr> After you run an integrity check, you should examine the report (or email) and then modify the Tripwire database to reflect the changed files on your system. This is so that Tripwire will not continually notify you that files you intentionally changed are a security violation. To do this you must first ls -l /var/lib/tripwire/report/ and note the name of the newest file which starts with your system name as presented by the command uname -n and ends in .twr. These files were created during report creation and the most current one is needed to update the Tripwire database of your system. As the root user, type in the following command making the appropriate report name: tripwire --update --twrfile /var/lib/tripwire/report/<report-name.twr> You will be placed into Vim with a copy of the report in front of you. If all the changes were good, then just type :wq and after entering your local key, the database will be updated. If there are files which you still want to be warned about, remove the 'x' before the filename in the report and type :wq. If you are unhappy with your policy file and would like to modify it or use a new one, modify the policy file and then execute the following commands as the root user: twadmin --create-polfile /etc/tripwire/twpol.txt && tripwire --init Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directories siggen, tripwire, twadmin, and twprint None /etc/tripwire, /var/lib/tripwire, and /usr/share/doc/tripwire-&tripwire-version; Short Descriptions siggen is a signature gathering utility that displays the hash function values for the specified files. siggen tripwire is the main file integrity checking program. tripwire twadmin administrative and utility tool used to perform certain administrative functions related to Tripwire files and configuration options. twadmin twprint prints Tripwire database and report files in clear text format. twprint
