Website protection

| We ask for your opinion about a system that checks if executables file (es .php .asp) have been changed and notify the owner and the hoster about the event.
In this way if someone have been able to get access to the website files the owner will know about as soon as one file is modified.
I think it's a simple and reliable technology and I will really do the job of avoiding your website to be hacked.
Have you ever seen this technology working?
Do you think it could be effective?

| Monitoring a large amount of files is not easy, to say the least.
I've been using a modified version of maldet on small-medium websites with some success.

| This type of technology sounds very similar to what Codeguard already offers?

| yes, we do that as well, but it's not enough.
It's should be a night cron job against dynamic web sites only, no need to scan static web sites.
I think it should be feasible for customers willing to pay the extra protection and hosted in specific servers.

| Hi,
I think it could be done with a little bit of customization and some scripting to give the desire result. I think it would be worth if you get someone to have a shell script created to have it monitored and notified as you as asking.

| We had very good results in monitoring the mail queue for each server, malicious hacking often send a big amount of email we have now Zabbix monitoring the queues and as soon the queue length is over the threshold we get notified.
The hacking is then discovered very soon the the site isolated and clean-

| Wouldn't this only benefit static websites?
For sites that have dynamic PHP files, the alerts will be useless because they are constantly changing for non malicious reasons.

| PHP, ASP, etc files are not changing, it will change logs, images and DB but the programming code itself should not change unless you upgrade the site (example new wordpress version) and you will be notified about it-
