Offline audit scripts now available
     posted by jfs, Mon 27 Aug 2007 07:31:52 PM UTC

Tiger version 3.2.2 now includes the all new 'audit scripts' written by Marc Heuse.

One common problem when auditing the security of 'live' (production) systems is that the administrator doesn't want the auditor to run a complex set of scripts (such as Tiger). This set of scripts can be used for offline audit of different operating systems. [...]

This download area can be used while I struggle in order to get my GPG signature to be added properly so that I can submit files to the new download [...]

Tiger featured in slashdot
     posted by jfs, Fri 25 Apr 2003 05:08:24 PM UTC

With the intention of making people more aware that Tiger is now (in the process of being) ressurrected, I have posted an article at slashdot (http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/04/22/220227&mode=thread&tid=117&tid=172).
