Jan 4, 2012 at 17:03 comment added dr jimbob Do typical configurations of tripwire compute hashes of files on a scale where installation of a rootkit would be noticed (where an installation may take minutes)? I was under the impression the hash of any particular file would be checked at most hourly; but more likely daily/weekly.
