chkwtmp: A wtmp intrusion detection analyzer

By: Silvio Cesare, 6th May, 1997

chkwtmp is an intrusion detection analyzer for the wtmp logfile on systems
running the Linux OS.

SYNOPSIS

Usage: chkwtmp [options]
-w wtmp wtmp filename
-t Print unformatted timestamps

DESCRIPTION

chkwtmp is able to log most of the typical zap wtmp utilities (everything
i've seen). The typical zap program relies on using only the current
session logs and does no furthur processing after session completion, even
though the wtmp logs have init logs logout entries.
