That's cool. And I'm glad that TripWire and all these other security related businesses getting exposure (wassn't Schwartzu involved with that project at some time? I seem to remember that he was running a version of it when Mitnick hacked his box, and it helped in tracking him down? (for the second time today, I could just be crazy)) However, I don't like the way that the media hypes these things. Never did, never will. From: "Fred A.

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
Correct!
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
It's not the current release, Matt. I have an idea SuSE will be working to include the OS version, when released. Fred -- ----/ / _ Fred A.
