Implementing File Integrity Monitoring with AIDE
Overview
AIDE (Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment) is a host-based intrusion detection system that monitors file and directory integrity using cryptographic checksums. This skill covers generating AIDE configuration files, initializing baseline databases, running integrity checks, parsing change reports, and setting up automated cron-based monitoring with alerting.
Prerequisites
- AIDE installed on target Linux system (apt install aide / yum install aide)
- Root or sudo access for file system scanning
- Python 3.8+ with standard library
Steps
- Generate AIDE Configuration — Create aide.conf with monitoring rules for critical directories (/etc, /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /boot)
- Initialize Baseline Database — Run aide --init to create the initial file integrity baseline
- Run Integrity Check — Execute aide --check to compare current state against baseline
- Parse Change Report — Extract added, removed, and changed files from AIDE output
- Configure Automated Monitoring — Generate cron job for scheduled integrity checks
- Generate Compliance Report — Produce structured report of all file changes with severity classification
Expected Output
- AIDE configuration file (aide.conf)
- Baseline database creation status
- JSON report of file changes (added/removed/changed) with severity
- Cron job configuration for automated monitoring

mapping-mitre-attack-techniques
Maps observed adversary behaviors, security alerts, and detection rules to MITRE ATT&CK techniques and sub-techniques to quantify detection coverage and guide control prioritization. Use when building an ATT&CK-based coverage heatmap, tagging SIEM alerts with technique IDs, aligning security controls to adversary playbooks, or reporting threat exposure to executives. Activates for requests involving ATT&CK Navigator, Sigma rules, MITRE D3FEND, or coverage gap analysis.
