The FIM module is on by default and scans the following directories:
["/usr/bin", "/usr/sbin", "/bin", "/sbin", "/etc", "/var/log/messages", "/var/log/syslog", "/var/log/auth.log", "/var/log/secure", "/var/www/logs/access_log", "/var/www/logs/error_log", "/var/log/maillog", "/var/log/xferlog", "/var/log/dpkg.log"]
It ignores the following directories:
["/etc/mtab", "/etc/mnttab", "/etc/hosts.deny", "/etc/mail/statistics", "/etc/randomseed", "/etc/adjtime", "/etc/httpd/logs", "/etc/utmpx", "/etc/wtmpx", "/etc/cups/certs", "/etc/dumpdates", "/etc/svc/volatile"]
Known bad signatures, for example, eicar, are flagged. Each scan notes the last modified time and hash, and changes to those are flagged.
