Hey.
Looked over your link/app. how is this any different from rkhunter/chkrootkit or any of the other apps that inspect files for changes to indicate a potential root/virus issue?
Does anyone know of an app/process that can prevent a rootkit/virus from modifying files, as opposed to simply detecting when/if a file has been modified?
Thanks

SELinux can help with this. Also look at a hardened kernel such as grsecurity (http://grsecurity.net/)
