FICC 1.2 introduces the "quick check" feature. Quick check allows FICC to have to only download the MD5 executable from each target host, instead of the Tripwire executable, config file, and database. This drastically reduces bandwidth usage and runtime.

There were some small but important changes made to how the fork call was used. Also, a configuration option was added to e-mail the administrator of a system even when FICC detected no changes on the system. Lastly, the Tripwire output is parsed more robustly.

the File Integrity Command & Control (FICC) project has hit the first public release, version 1.0. This version is dramatically faster due to the fact that it forks off child processes in order to analyze target hosts.
