finding changed files
Authored by: sjk on Feb 22, '06 12:52:07PM
It's trivial to fool find ... -mtime ... using touch (or something equivalent) to change file modification times, which any cleverly-written trojan/virus would do. The -ctime option for find does a better job at detecting changed files.
