Tripwire is a file integrity monitoring tool that helps detect unauthorized or suspicious changes to critical system configuration files. It compares the current state of files to known baselines and alerts administrators if any unauthorized changes are made.

In Linux, log entries for auditd (the audit daemon) are written to /var/log/audit/audit.log. This file contains detailed information about system activity, including security-related events, which is essential for auditing and monitoring purposes.
