I could have swon that I saw tripwire on my 6.2 disk. Check the security package. And I'm sorry if I read the articles wrong, they seem to want to present tripwire as the "magic security bullet". But, just like anything else, tripwire requires a good sysadmin in order to be effective. This quote trips (no pun intended) me up.... "With this technology, TripWire's first wall is intrusion detection. That is reinforced by constant monitoring for unauthorized system change. For example, TripWire tripped up distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) Trojan infections by finding the obnoxious programs hidden deep in the operating system." Makes it sound REAL nice, huh? Kind of makes it sound like "If you install TripWire, it'll find any Trojan Horse programs on your system". Whatever.... =p From: "Fred A.
