First. I am a System Administrator. Not a programmer. I do have some programming experience from my personal hobbies as well as from school. But I do not do this everyday...So I must apologize if some of my code is not as clean or concise as possible :)

I have chosen PHP-CLI as the programming language. This is the language that I have done my most work with recently. Well, PHP for the web. The CLI aspect just makes sense for this application. The motivating factors for using it was, native MD5 support, and native Database support. Although I am using ADODB to abstract the database connections so that you may use any DBMS you choose.

Below is a quick list of things so you can get an idea what I hope to do with this project. I do have a quick hack together that does some basics, but it is not ready for much use.

Objectives for this software

• Add hashes for a list of files
• Check hashes of files against that in a database
• Update hashes (sometimes they change for a good reason)
• Notify appropriate personell that something has changed
• Eventually, I would like this to be combined with SFTP to perform self-healing for binaries that should not change. If they do the software will simply copy over the correct binary.
