Actually, the "prior art" *is* tripwire.  If you run tripwire on the live
system, then run it while booted from a CD, and they produce different
results, you have a problem.

And that's what they're doing by doing a 'dir /a /s' on the live system,
then booting the Windows PE CD, and looking for differences....
