- There is a package, COPS, of C/shell out there that checks through a UNIX system
- looking for security holes. It has been ported to perl, evidently, and called
- P-COPS. I found what claimed to be a beta copy somewhere, but is there a final
- copy somewhere?
-
- Also, I gather that it implements a rule-based expert system. That suggests
- that maybe a perl/CLIPS (CLIPS is a NASA expert system shell) implementation
- might be called for. Has anyone else used a perl/CLIPS combo before?
