An EDR that cries wolf gets ignored, so Sentinel ships explicit tooling to
separate benign noise from real findings — built on **provenance**: a binary
shipped by your package manager (`pacman`/`dpkg`/`rpm`) is overwhelmingly likely
to be legitimate (the same idea behind OSSEC's rootcheck and AIDE).

# Enodia Sentinel Roadmap
This roadmap moves Enodia Sentinel from a host IDS into a host security platform:
detect, verify, investigate, respond, and assure. Dates are intentionally not

This roadmap moves Enodia Sentinel from single-host endpoint detection and
response into a fuller host security platform: detect, verify, investigate,

# Enodia Sentinel Specification
This document defines Enodia Sentinel as a host security platform, not only a
signature IDS. The current implementation is a local Linux sensor with evidence
capture, integrity monitoring, anti-rootkit checks, a dashboard, and alert
delivery. The intended product is a defensive control plane for a host or small
fleet: detect compromise, prove what changed, preserve useful evidence, guide
response, and make sensor tampering visible.

dashboard, alert delivery, and dry-run response planning. The intended product
is a defensive control plane for a host or small fleet: detect compromise, prove
what changed, preserve useful evidence, guide response, and make sensor
tampering visible.
