---

Laravel package that monitors your application's file integrity, alerts when code is tampered with, and sends server diagnostic information on boot. Drop it in and get tamper detection without building it from scratch.

> **Showcase:** [vt-php-ghost-wall.pages.dev](https://vt-php-ghost-wall.pages.dev)

What it does
------------

[](#what-it-does)

```
App boots → GhostWall checksums all source files
                │
                ├─ If files unchanged → silent pass
                │
                └─ If file modified/added/deleted → alert (log / email / webhook)

```

GhostWall computes a hash tree of your application source on first run and stores it. On every subsequent boot it re-hashes and compares. Any deviation triggers a configurable alert — useful for detecting unauthorized changes in production.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require vishalxtyagi/php-ghost-wall
```

```
// config/app.php — providers array
Vishalxtyagi\PhpGhostWall\GhostWallServiceProvider::class,
```

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Vishalxtyagi\PhpGhostWall\GhostWallServiceProvider"
php artisan ghostwall:init   # compute initial hash tree
```

Configuration (`config/ghostwall.php`)
--------------------------------------

[](#configuration-configghostwallphp)

```
return [
    'enabled'    => env('GHOSTWALL_ENABLED', true),
    'alert_via'  => ['log', 'email'],        // 'log' | 'email' | 'webhook'
    'ignore'     => ['storage/', '.env'],    // paths excluded from monitoring
    'webhook'    => env('GHOSTWALL_WEBHOOK_URL', ''),
];
```

Artisan commands
----------------

[](#artisan-commands)

```
php artisan ghostwall:init      # build initial hash tree
php artisan ghostwall:check     # manual integrity check
php artisan ghostwall:reset     # accept current state as new baseline
```

What's next
-----------

[](#whats-next)

- CI verification integration — fail the pipeline if production hash tree doesn't match
- GPG-signing option for the hash tree file itself
- Admin dashboard panel for visual integrity status
