CyberSoft, Inc.'s Cryptographic Integrity Tool is part of the VFind Security ToolKit. An MD5 signature (i.e., a cryptographic hash code) is generated for each file and compared to a previous signature for that file stored in a database (by default, \cit.db\; this can be overridden with the
"-db" " option). A list of new and modified files is" written to standard output. A report of new, modified and deleted files is placed in cit.rpt (by default; again,
"see the " "-db" " option)." .
"-c" ", " "--copyright" Display copyright information and then exit. All other options will be ignored. .TP
"-h" ", " "-?" ", " "--help" Display usage message and then exit. All other options will be ignored. .TP
"-v" ", " "--version" Display version information and then exit. All other options will be ignored. .TP
"-S" ", " "--stdin" Display the MD5 hash of standard input on standard output. .TP .B --cleanup Totally remove all cit work and database files. Suitable for use when you want a totally new database or want to release the disk resources that cit is using. Use with caution! .TP
"--dangerfile" Reports (usually in Cit.rpt) all of the files/hashes that are found in the Danger file database. .TP \fB-db \fIdatabasename\fR, \fB--database-name \fIdatabasename\fR Use databasename as the base name for the database. The database itself would be named databasename.db, the report file, databasename.rpt .TP .BI "--dbpath " "databasepath" Use databasepath as the directory in which the database is located. Default: Current directory. .TP
"-d" ", " "--dupcontents" Reports (usually in Cit.rpt) all of the files that have duplicate hash values. .TP
"-do" ", " "--dupcontents-only" Duplicate contents only: cit only creates a cit.dup file based on the existing Cit database listing all files that have duplicate hash values.
"-f" ", " "--file-changed" Hash the file and compare the hash value with the value found in the Cit database. Report whether the file has changed or not.
"-nb" ", " "--no-backup" Don't retain the old database after the run (typically kept in cit.db0).
"-nc" ", " "--no-cleanup" Cit will not remove any tmp files.
"-nr" ", " "--no-report" Do not generate the cit.rpt report file.
"-nu" ", " "--no-update" Report changes in the file system, but don't update the database.
\-t \tmp\, \--tmpdir \tmp\Temp Directory: cit will create tmp files in \tmp\. If this option is not specified, cit will use the appropriate temp location for your system.
"--" End of Options: Tells cit that all remaining arguments are to be treated as filenames, even if they start with a dash.
LICENSES CIT requires a \LICENSE\ file to run. This \LICENSE\ file is host specific, therefore cit will only run on the licensed machine. Additional licenses may be purchased by contacting:
CyberSoft, Inc.

Phone: +1.610.825.4748
Fax: +1.610.825.6785
At start-up, cit searches for the \LICENSE\ file in these locations:
* /LICENSE
* /etc/LICENSE
* The current working directory.
* The VSTK library directory set at installation. .RE .SS INPUT CIT can take input in three ways.
1. cit with a filename argument. In this mode cit will generate a MD5 signature for that file and write it to stdout. No database is created or updated. Example: cit HelloWorld.java.
2. cit reading a data stream from the standard input. In this mode cit will generate a MD5 signature for the data stream and write it to stdout. No database is created or updated. Example: cat BigFile.tar | cit -S .
3. cit reading a filename list from the standard input. This is the default mode of operation. In this mode, it accepts a list of filenames on standard input. A MD5 signature (i.e., a cryptographic hash code) is generated for each file and compared to a previous signature for that file stored in a database (by default, cit.db; this can be overridden with the -db option). A list of new and modified files is written to standard output. A report of new, modified and deleted files is placed in cit.rpt (by default; again, see the -db option). Example: find / -type f -print | cit
cit.db, cit.rpt, cit.db0.
"vfind" "(1), " "thd" "(1), "
"bhead" "(1), " "jdis" "(1), "
"uad" "(1), " "find" "(1)."
