This article describes the Solaris Fingerprint Database (sfpDB), a security tool that enables users to verify the integrity of files distributed with the Solaris Operating Environment. By validating that these files have not been modified, administrators can determine whether their systems have, or have not, been hacked and had trojaned malicious replacements for system files installed.
This is an updated version of the original Sun BluePrints publication, published in May 2001. This document has been updated to support the Solaris 10 Operating System and includes numerous other additions, clarifications, and references.
