I've used it in the past to try and see what's happening and often struggle to single out what I want. A lot of changes happen regularly, and this can show you just how much! | |

| Aug 27, 2016 at 22:09 | comment | added | Parsa Samet | @hschou I know what you say, but what do your recommend? I wanna beware of any change. About a week ago, something appeared to be in my Application directory while I had no idea what the fun it was, and had never seen it before. I’m linux geek, but not that expert in MacOS-related stuff. How should I take care of any change? | |

| Aug 27, 2016 at 19:51 | comment | added | Red Cricket | There are a lot of ways you could go about this. You could learn about intrusion detection systems, you could set up puppet, you could write your own script. If you were to write your own script you would probably want to learn about the md5sum command and maybe use sqlite to store know good values of the file. | |
