configuration files, binaries as well as libraries stats. And helps
to find which binaries have been changed in case of compromisation

command will scan all the files in the /etc/ directory and stores
them as a database called aide.db.new.“Note: AIDE uses the stat command to get the details of the file
including the permissions, inode, acess time, modified time etc.
and will store them in the aide.db file.”
