Abstract
A method for monitoring access to a file within a file system includes steps or acts of: monitoring a plurality of requests for access to files; intercepting the requests; and analyzing metadata located in the file. If the metadata includes a directive entry, the method includes these additional steps: identifying information about any application requesting access to the file, including a sequence of function calls that preceded the file access request; and logging the information to generate an action trail of the application. A mechanism for monitoring file access includes the following: a file system configured for monitoring accesses to any file residing within it; an access control mechanism which can execute pre-defined actions when an unauthorized file access occurs; and a tool to specify the list of files to be monitored.
