# File Integrity fields
These are the fields generated by the file_integrity module.

## file

File attributes.

## elf

These fields contain Linux Executable Linkable Format (ELF) metadata.
<definitions>
  <definition term="file.elf.go_imports">
    List of imported Go language element names and types.
    type: flattened
  </definition>
  <definition term="file.elf.go_imports_names_entropy">
    Shannon entropy calculation from the list of Go imports.
    type: long
    format: number
  </definition>
  <definition term="file.elf.go_imports_names_var_entropy">
    Variance for Shannon entropy calculation from the list of Go imports.
    type: long
    format: number
  </definition>
  <definition term="file.elf.go_import_hash">
    A hash of the Go language imports in an ELF file excluding standard library imports. An import hash can be used to fingerprint binaries even after recompilation or other code-level transformations have occurred, which would change more traditional hash values. The algorithm used to calculate the Go symbol hash and a reference implementation are available [here](https://github.com/elastic/toutoumomoma).
    type: keyword
    example: 10bddcb4cee42080f76c88d9ff964491
  </definition>
  <definition term="file.elf.go_stripped">
    Set to true if the file is a Go executable that has had its symbols stripped or obfuscated and false if an unobfuscated Go executable.
    type: boolean
  </definition>
  <definition term="file.elf.imports_names_entropy">
    Shannon entropy calculation from the list of imported element names and types.
    type: long

  <definition term="file.elf.imports_names_var_entropy">

    type: long

  </definition>
  <definition term="file.elf.import_hash">
    A hash of the imports in an ELF file. An import hash can be used to fingerprint binaries even after recompilation or other code-level transformations have occurred, which would change more traditional hash values. This is an ELF implementation of the Windows PE imphash.
