The Tiger security tools were originally developed to provide a check of UNIX systems on the Texas A&M campus that wanted to be accessed from off campus (clearance through the packet filter). As such, the TAMU group needed something that anyone could run to test the security of a system if they could figure out how to get it down to their machine. It was written around the same time that Cops, SATAN and ISS' Internet Scanner was. Eventually, and after 2.2.4 was released (around 1994), development on Tiger stopped.
Development of the tool restarted in 2003 and it is now being developed to make it useful for newer versions of the UNIX operating systems it once supported. Source code improvements developed by Advanced Research Computing (which produced a fork called TARA, http://www-arc.com/tara), HP, and Debian GNU/Linux (packages available at http://packages.debian.org/tiger) have been merged in order to provide a common source code base. The new release was labelled as 3.0 . This and newer releases are now available in Savannah.
