I'm using Debian Woody. How would I loop thru all installed Debian packages, and compare the program of each package to the official Debian repository. Something like an MD5 checksum ? Or what other resources do I have at my disposal ?
Most packages have some md5 sums, there's a package called debsums that'll check them....
I'd backup your whole system and find out how/why you got corrupted binaries in the first place. If you don't have a dieing hard drive (even that's unlikely to cause corruption like this in this day and age) or a bad RAID or something like that then (more likely) you've got someone who's rooted your box.
