Lynx FIM Documentation#

Welcome to the documentation for Lynx FIM, a lightweight host-based intrusion detection agent built in Go. This site is organized into two primary sections to help you navigate the project.

🗺️ How to Use These Docs#

🚀 Usage Guide#

If you want to run Lynx FIM on your system, start here. This section covers:

• Installation & Setup: How to build the agent and configure it.
• Command Reference: Detailed syntax for all CLI commands.
• Isolated Lab Testing: Guide for safe, single-directory testing.

💻 Development & Research#

If you’re interested in the “how” and “why” behind the tool, explore this section:

• Technical Specifications: My research into Go, Cryptography, and Kernel events.
• Implementation Story: A milestone-by-milestone log of my learning journey.
• Performance Analysis: Benchmarking results and throughput research.
• Implementation Plan: The original roadmap for Summer 2025.
• Requirements: What I defined as essential for a modern FIM.

Note: This project is part of a 2-month intensive learning cycle from June to August 2025. I’m building this from scratch to truly understand the core concepts of system security.
