Abstract

In cybersecurity, ensuring file integrity is essential for detecting unauthorized modifications, malware infections, and system intrusions.This project offers a Python-based File Integrity Checker that tracks file modifications using cryptographic hashing techniques. The application calculates, saves, and periodically validates file hashes, notifying users of any unauthorized changes found. This solution facilitates forensic investigations, improves data security, and guarantees adherence to cybersecurity regulations. The suggested approach's efficiency and portability make it appropriate for a range of cybersecurity uses, such as malware detection, server monitoring, and compliance checking. Furthermore, the program makes use of cryptographic hashing [5] to guarantee that file verification is impervious to manipulation and attacks, which makes it a crucial part of contemporary security systems. In addition, the project examines practical uses of file integrity verification and talks about possible improvements including real-time monitoring and interaction with more extensive security framework
