Hello,
i am new in the vb scene, but got a big problem to work on. I have multiple XML data which contain the datanames (of different folders) and their md5 hash.
I created the xml data with the Microsoft tool "fciv".
Now i try to analyse this values in the following way:
- you always compare the 2 latest logs
- you get a message if the hashvalues are different
- you get a message if there is a new or missing data

I don't know if this is possible but maybe you have some good ideads,links or snippets for me.
I plan to use it as a simple intrusion detection.

Search the forum for XML DOM and/or XPath. That might get you started.

I'd like to ask: does fciv generate .xml output? If not, the use of xml
for your task my no be the best/easiest method.

You can decide between the command line output or XML.

I would also ask if you are locked into VBS? Powershell is considerably easier for working with XML.

Due to the fact that i want to run it later automatically i would prefer using vbs. By using the Powershell i still have troubles doing so because of the executionpolicy.

That is fine, but remember, you control ExecutionPolicy, ExecutionPolicy does not control you.
