This is an updated version of the SATAN public documentation release of
March 15, 1995. It has educational value because of the large number
of problems in its example data base.
---------------------
This is the SATAN public documentation release. We're releasing it so
that you can get some idea of what the final product will be like.
The first official release will be on April 5 at 16:00 MET, on host
ftp.win.tue.nl as /pub/security/satan.tar.Z. Announcements will be
posted to comp.security.misc and comp.unix.admin.
The SATAN public documentation release is a complete SATAN kit with the
data acquisition tools stripped off, and with sample data taken one
year ago, when only half the tools were in place (and half of them were
still broken).
Additional software that you need: PERl 5, and a WWW browser (netscape
or mosaic preferred, but Lynx should be possible, too). When you want
to view the sample data, you will need a moderately fast workstation
(sparc5, indy) with 32 MBytes of memory, and 64 MBytes of swap space or
more. It looks better when you have a color display.
In order get things up and running,
- Run the `reconfig' script. It will patch some scripts with the
pathnames of your PERL 5 executable, and your Web browser.
- Run the `make' command. It will build a small md5 executable that is
needed for authentication between SATAN and the Web browser.
- Run the `satan' script. When run without arguments, it will start up
a Web browser.
- Choose the `data management' link, and load the `foo.org' data base.
It may take several tens of seconds to read all data from file.
Enjoy the reports and the documentation.
