You put the database somewhere safe, and then later you can use it to make sure that no one has made any illicit modifications to your file system.

Integrit’s key features are the small memory footprint, the design with unattended use in mind, intuitive cascading rulesets for the paths listed in the configuration file, the possibility of XML or human-readable output, and simultaneous checks and updates.
