Tripwire 1.3.1 fixes a number of bugs found in tripwire 1.2, however the licenses are different. I personally haven't encountered the bugs but the people at Tripwiresecurity say that they are there. The commercial version, Version 2, which Tripwresecurity has made the Linux version of the source available, which I might port to FreeBSD as well, adds new signatures, improves memory utilisation reducing paging and increases the number of files that can be monitored before tripwire dies. It also has an interface to the Tripwire console, which allows a central security administrator to monitor 100-200 UNIX and NT systems, freeing up UNIX and NT admin staff to do more rewarding work. I will be discussing the Tripwire version 2 license with someone at tripwire tomorrow. Functionally Aide is smaller and faster. It supports different signatures, however it lacks an interactive mode, e.g. you need to specify which files have changed on the command line or rebuild the database from scratch.
