FileSentinel is an open-source Python tool that helps users monitor folders for unexpected file changes.

It creates a baseline using SHA-256 hashes and later compares the folder against that baseline to detect added, modified, and deleted files.

It is designed as a beginner-friendly defensive security utility for students, small offices, and anyone learning basic file integrity monitoring.
