DESCRIPTION
Theveriexecctl command is used to manipulate
Veriexec, the NetBSD file integrity
subsystem.
Commands
load[file]- Load the fingerprint entries contained in file, if
specified, or the default signatures file otherwise.
This operation is only allowed in learning mode (strict level zero).
The following flags are allowed with this command:
-e- Evaluate fingerprint on load, as opposed to when the file is accessed.
-k- Keep the filenames in the entry for more accurate logging.
-v- Enable verbose output.
deletefile | mount_point- Delete either a single entry file or all entries on mount_point from being monitored by Veriexec.
dump- Dump the Veriexec database from the kernel. Only entries
that have the filename will be presented.
This can be used to recover a lost database:
# veriexecctl dump > /etc/signatures
flush- Delete all entries in the Veriexec database.
queryfile- Query Veriexec for information associated with file: Filename, mount, fingerprint, fingerprint algorithm, evaluation status, and entry type.
FILES
- /dev/veriexec
- Veriexec pseudo-device
- /etc/signatures
- default signatures file
