iWatch is a real-time filesystem monitoring program. It is a tool for detecting any changes on your filesystem and reporting it to the system administrator immediately. It uses a simple configuration file in XML format and is based on inotify, a file change notification system in the Linux kernel.

cryptmount is a utility for creating and managing secure filing systems on GNU/Linux systems. After initial setup, it allows any user to mount or unmount filesystems on demand, solely by providing the decryption password, with any system devices needed to access the filing system being configured automatically. A wide variety of encryption schemes (provided by the kernel dm-crypt system and the libgcrypt library) can be used to protect both the filesystem and the access key. The protected filing systems can reside in either ordinary files or disk partitions. The package also supports encrypted swap partitions, and automatic configuration on system boot-up.
