There is more than one Tripwire

Both are based on the same code, written by Gene Kim and Dr. Eugene Spafford at Purdue University in 1992, but Tripwire's commercial products and Open Source Tripwire have followed different development roadmaps since they diverged in 1999.

Gene Kim founded Tripwire Incorporated in 1997 to serve the commercial market. The company has two products, Tripwire Enterprise and Tripwire for Servers.

The Open Source Tripwire project, moderated by former Tripwire Inc employee Ron Forrester, is on Sourceforge.
