File Integrity Checkers
When a system is compromised an attacker will often alter certain key files to provide continued access and prevent detection. By applying a message digest (cryptographic hash) to key files and then checking the files periodically to ensure the hash hasn’t altered a degree of assurance is maintained. On detecting a change an alert will be triggered. Furthermore, following an attack the same files can have their integrity checked to assess the extent of the compromise.
AIDE (Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment)
It creates a database from the regular expression rules that it finds from the config file. Once this database is initialized it can be used to verify the integrity of the files. It has several message digest algorithms (md5,sha1,rmd160,tiger,haval,etc.) ...

samhain
samhain is an open source file integrity and host-based intrusion detection system for Linux and Unix. It can run as a daemon process, and and thus can remember file changes - contrary to a tool that runs from cron, if a file is modified you will get only ...
Tripwire
Tripwire software establishes a "digital inventory" of known good files and their attributes and uses it as a baseline for monitoring changes. Discovering State Change User-scheduled integrity checks monitor files and their attributes, comparing them agai ...
