The system generates baseline hashes using SHA-256 and continuously monitors file systems through a hybrid approach combining event-driven detection and periodic polling. Detected changes are classified into categories such as addition, deletion, modification, and renaming using hash comparison techniques. The system logs all events with timestamps and hash values and provides alert notifications through graphical interfaces and optional email alerts. It also supports baseline management for updating authorized changes. The invention offers a portable, reliable, and cost-effective solution for ensuring data integrity and enhancing cybersecurity."
