Satan is a program that examines a UNIX system and tries to find all of its security holes. It's somewhat controversial, because users can use it to find ways to hack into a system; but on the other hand, sysadmins can use it to find (and close) any holes that may exist. babak bayati wrote in message <73auhf$skf$1@news.xmission.com>... > >Hi every body, >What does Satan program do? > > >______________________________________________________ >Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
