File Integrity Monitor

Description

The PowerShell script in this repository is responsible for creating file hashes stored in a baseline.txt file. This file will be updated and checked while the script is running for file modification/deletion/creation. If any events trigger, then the script will notify the user of what has been changed.

The script has two options: Create a new baseline or Begin monitoring files saved with baseline. When creating a new baseline, the script will create a hash of every file within the user-given path. These hashes are stored in the baseline.txt file to refer back to when monitoring.

The second option monitors the user-given path for any modifications to the files under it. It can also monitor for new files. Whenever a change is made to the path, the script will output an alert to the user notifying what change has been made.
