| contents | As cyber threats continue to evolve and diversify, it has become increasingly challenging to identify the root causes of security breaches that occur between periodic security assessments. This paper explores the fundamental importance of system fingerprinting as a proactive and effective approach to addressing this issue. By capturing a comprehensive host's fingerprint, including hardware-related details, file hashes, and kernel-level information, during periods of system cleanliness, a historical record is established. This historical record provides valuable insights into system changes and assists in understanding the factors contributing to a security breach. We develop a tool to capture and store these fingerprints securely, leveraging the advanced security features. Our approach presents a robust solution to address the constantly evolving cyber threat landscape, thereby safeguarding the integrity and security of critical systems. |
