You can always run something like Tiger. It's in the repos. There are 
plenty more. Try RkHunter. I think it runs tiger scripts, also.

Description: Report system security vulnerabilities
  TIGER, or the 'tiger' scripts, is a set of Bourne shell scripts, C 
programs and
  data files which are used to perform a security audit of UNIX systems. 
  TIGER
  has one primary goal: report ways 'root' can be compromised.

  Debian's TIGER incorporates new checks primarily oriented towards Debian
  distribution including: md5sums checks of installed files, location of 
files
  not belonging to packages, check of security advisories and analysis 
of local
  listening processes.
