GatorSec File Integrity Monitoring (CyberSec App)

A Cybersecurity App for Monitoring Real-Time File Changes

This open-source app leverages a Tauri backend written in Rust with a React TypeScript frontend to track file and registry modifications in real-time within specified directories and registry keys on a Windows machine. The app is designed to be user-friendly, resource-efficient, and to maintain a minimal memory footprint, making it suitable for continuous monitoring tasks in cybersecurity contexts. We have also added functionality to display metadata associated with each file change.
