🛡 Wazuh Mastery Pack · 08 of 15 — File Integrity Monitoring
FIM is the most underrated detection control in any SIEM.
This cheat sheet is the working syscheck config — Linux paths, Windows registry Run keys, realtime vs whodata vs scheduled, report_changes for actual diffs, and the ignore patterns that keep alert volume sane.
Where FIM earns its keep:
✓ /etc on every Linux server (configs, sudoers, cron)
✓ /var/www on web hosts (catches web shells the moment they land)
✓ HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run on Windows (boot persistence)
✓ C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc (hosts-file tampering)
Real-time FIM on /etc and Windows registry Run keys = the highest-ROI detection you can deploy in under 10 minutes.
