65.23 Internet Security Scanner 2.0
From: cklaus@anshar.shadow.net (Christopher Klaus)
Been hacked ? Afraid to find your network has been compromised ?
Internet Security Scanner (ISS) is the first multi-functional
proactive Unix security scanner available to the public. It is
flexible, portable, and quickly does its job. It provides
Information that you need to fix Security Misconfigurations.
With more and more hackers breaking into networks and
compromising tens of thousands of machines, you will want to
use ISS to protect your network.
"Rather than wait for a cracker [intruder] to point out the
weaknesses in your network, I suggest you grab a copy of ISS
and sleep a little better at night."
-- Sam Kimery, SunWorld Dec '93

Security Update
Announcing
INTERNET SECURITY SCANNER 2.0
For the last 9 months, after its initial release, Internet Security
Scanner has been vastly improved into the fastest advanced scanner
available with the most vulnerability checks. The newest version is a
major jump ahead in helping the administrator secure his network.
ISS does a Multi-functional Scan of your TCP/IP Network Searching for
Numerous Security Vulnerabilities in your Unix environment that are
Exploited by Intruders.
Internet Security Scanner 2.0 has the following New Features:
o Over 80 New Vulnerability Checks, including the most recent infamous
Sendmail vulnerability that has allowed Intruders to get past Firewalls.
*** Including Checks for the Newest FTP Vulnerability [Site Exec] found
in several public versions of FTP daemons.
o New Technique for TCP Port Scanning that is over 80 times faster
than the original TCP Port Scanner.
o Brute Force Scanning is Now Built In For Finding Machines like IBM
and Macintosh clients running only FTP or Sendmail.
o An Improved Domain Name Query Module that generates a List of
Machines from your Nameserver that is easily edited and fed into ISS for
scanning.
o Two New Modules: ISS Analyzer and ISS Run-time Configuration Generator.
o ISS Analyzer will Quickly Sort the Output Data from ISS giving You a
Complete and Understable Diagnosis of what Security Vulnerabilities
Exist on your Machines.
o ISS Run-timer Configuration Generator Has Easy to Follow Menus for
Configuring ISS to What You Want it To Scan For. This allows ISS to
be easily tailored to the needs of your network.
What do the users of Internet Security Scanner think?
"Rather than wait for a cracker [intruder] to point out the weaknesses in your
network, I suggest you grab a copy of ISS and sleep a little better at night."
-- Sam Kimery, SunWorld Dec '93
"ISS addresses the traditionally weak and oft neglected area of computer
security under the UNIX operating system. No system administrator
interested in preserving the integrity of his data should be without it."
-- Justin Weir, System Administrator

ISS 2.0 will not be distributed to the public directly because of the
following reasons:
1) There were complaints that networks were being scanned by sites
from other organizations. To reduce the liability of this kind
problem, ISS 2.0 has built in control of what network addresses can
be scanned and probed so that an organization's copy can not be
used to attack other networks.
2) It ensures that crackers (intruders) are no longer getting new security
vulnerabilities to check for as these checks are place into ISS.
ISS has increased speed for checking over 80 new vulnerabilities
with understandable output making it easier to diagnose the
security of your network.
This makes even the most novice to computers able to penetrate most
networks on the Internet. This is the concern for keeping it from having
everyone be able to scan everyone else's network.
To help pay for the expenses of development of this product, there is a
fee. To get an old version, there is a copy for ftp at aql.gatech.edu.
