Just a side note, we are using tixwish to help build a GUI for alpha/beta of a new security product for Unix boxes. XPI prolly has seen a sudden flurry of activity of people grabbing tixwish to run the security product. I just wanted to let everyone know here so you could see how we are using some tixwish widgets. System Security Scanner (3S) - Alpha Release ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION System Security Scanner is a system host assessment tool that will go through a machine searching for the following vulnerabilities: * File Permissions * Account Password guessing * Rhosts configuration * Shosts configuration * Netrc configuration * Inetd configuration - checks for insecure daemons * Host.Equiv configuration * MD5 Library We have built a library of signature checksums for patched and unpatched files which allows to see if the system has vendor installed security patches.
[snip] As an alternative, March Systems in the UK has a similar tool based on Tcl/Tk/Tix etc which has been in the field for over two years. More info is available at http://www.march.co.uk/sm-top.html. Mail info () march co uk regarding trials and evaluations. Security Manager is also available in the US from Pro/Sim in Houston, Texas.
