Do you want to know if any files on your server have been modified by a hacker? Do you want to see what has been changed on a system after abnormal behavior? Or do you want to check if you are the victim of a hack?
In this tutorial, I will show you how a simple linux command can help you actively monitor access to your files and folders on your server.
The trick is to list all the modified files of a specific directory during the last 2 days thanks to the Linux find command with some arguments.

Here, we exclude the / sys / proc and / dev directories then we indicate that we want only the files modified in the last 30 minutes.
