Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment

Last Updated : Jun 05, 2026 |

Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE) is a file integrity checker and intrusion detection program. AIDE can be run for checking the integrity of files to ensure the critical files have not been changed in an unauthorized manner. AIDE does this by creating a baseline database of files on an initial run, and then checks this database against the system on subsequent runs.

In Avaya Experience Portal Avaya Enterprise Linux, the AIDE package is installed in /usr/sbin/aide. Only a Linux user with root privilege can run AIDE.

The following is the AIDE installed package information:
