Verifying the integrity of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Linux components

To avoid the replacement of application manifest and files, Kaspersky Endpoint Agent can verify their integrity. The integrity verification utility verifies the integrity of files and modules listed in special lists that are called manifest files. A manifest file of an application component contains files and modules whose integrity is critical for correct operation of the component. The integrity of manifest files themselves is also verified.

By default, the integrity verification utility is located in the /opt/kaspersky/epagent/sbin directory.

To run the integrity verification utility:

  1. Run the command line terminal on the device.
  2. Run the command: ./integrity_checker --signature-type kds-with-filename [other parameters] [<path to the manifest>].

As a result, the terminal will display verification statistics as well as a return code:

Parameters and arguments are listed below.

<path to the manifest>

This argument is used to verify the integrity of the manifest located at the specified path. If this parameter is not specified, the utility uses the integrity_check.xml file in the utility directory as the manifest file.

--verbose

This parameter is used to display integrity verification results for each file and a verbose description of integrity errors, if any.

--trace <path to the file>

This parameter is used to specify a file for saving trace data at the DEBUG level.

If this parameter is not specified, trace data is not saved.

--crl <path to the list of revoked certificates>

This parameter is used to verify the signature of the manifest using a list of revoked certificates located at the specified path.
