A system like this is very cost effective relative to time and money. Three other security programs are TIS Stalker, COPS, and Asmodeus. TIS Stalker oversees the audit trail information of the operating system. It has tutorials on how the product works. It lists audit information that can be used to bring suit against an unauthorized user.
Problems exist, however, relative to information analyzed and graphics presentation.
Data gathered is not always correct and graphic clarity is substandard. COPS is a collection of shell scripts and C programs that checks passwords, configures the system, and duplicates userid and group files. It also reviews home directories of users to see if there are vulnerabilities. It detects major security problems such as system files left open. Asmodeus is an easy installation, user friendly, quick program that identifies some types of IP ports, returns information about the services associated with them, and provides information about potential flaws in port implementation and slow processing.
