Abstract
Automated file system event tracking and reporting techniques are described in which file system events requested by a user application are intercepted and recorded prior to the request being permitted to pass to the file system for execution. Similarly, file system responses to a prior captured file system event are also intercepted and recorded. Predefined patterns of file system event may be aggregated and reported as a single event.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon to cause one or more processors to:
- intercept a file system security change request directed to a target file system object, the target file system object having a current security state, the security change request specifying a final security state;
- record the current security state of the target file system object;
- communicate the security change request to a file system;
- intercept an indication that the security change request has been processed by the file system;
- and
- record the final security state of the target file system object.
3 more elements
An electronic system, comprising:
- a memory;
- an input-output device coupled to the memory;
- and
- a programmable control device communicatively coupled to the memory and the input-output device, the programmable control device adapted to execute instructions stored in the memory to—
- identify a file system object based, at least in part, on an input from the input-output device,
- intercept a file system security change request directed to the file system object, the file system object having a current security state, the security change request specifying a final security state,
- record the current security state of the file system object,
- communicate the security change request to a file system,
- intercept an indication that the security change request has been processed by the file system, and
- record the final security state of the file system object.
