Basically what you are looking for is the file
integrity checking portion of a HIDS, here is a good
primer on HIDS -
http://www.sans.org/resources/idfaq/host_based.php

Here is a Windows product -
http://www.rocksoft.com/rocksoft/veracity/index.php

If you're looking for Unix/Linux products Samhain is a
very good one -

A google search for File Integrity checkers will give
you these and more.

Hope that helps,
Kenton

Isnt there a product that can allert, when files are
changed or
altered afther boot up, to a sertain server.
I mean as follows:
1. Computer boots up.
2. User logs in.
3. Image is made of current C: hdd.
4. if changes occur server is notified.
5. Optional: Prevents changes to happen in C:.

find lots of alternatives. If you want something

send an email when a change is made you may be
able to
use something open source.

Can anyone help me with an aplication or method
that
can succeed in
the following task.

Check about 60 computers on LAN and all same
workgroup the local C:
harddisk for changes. And if any changes found
(as
minimal as
possible, like new folder or new suspisious
files or
something) be
reported to the server.

All the local hdd are almost exactly the same if
not
exactly the same.
Server is running win2003 and the clients are
all
WinNT

Any idea how i can accomplish this task? (mayb
like
a MD5 sum or
somthing in that way(though md5 is for files) or
an
integrety checker,
i heard about it but have no knowledge about it,
and
google isnt
helping me out atm)

Thank you very much.
