Which of the following tools is NOT primarily used for file integrity monitoring?

  1. Tripwire Enterprise

  2. PA File Sight

  3. CurrPorts

  4. FastSum

The correct answer is: CurrPorts

File integrity monitoring typically involves tools that track changes to files and ensure that unauthorized modifications do not occur. These tools often employ checksums, hashes, or file comparisons to alert users about any alterations. The correct answer reflects a tool that does not focus on monitoring file integrity. CurrPorts is primarily a network monitoring tool that displays the list of all currently opened TCP/IP and UDP ports on a local computer, showing the connections made through these ports, along with details like process names and associated applications. This tool is essential for network analysis and security monitoring but does not revolve around tracking or maintaining the integrity of files. In contrast, tools like Tripwire Enterprise, PA File Sight, and FastSum are all designed with specific functionalities that support the tracking and monitoring of file integrity, which can include alerts on file changes, unauthorized access, and other security components pertaining to file management.
