What we're striving to build here are LAN-capable tools with centralized logging and unattended operation to support that effort.
As a follow-up to my previous post... Our use of ftimes was packaged inside a script that revolved around the use of webjob for expressly this purpose. It ran unattended (without involvement of the security office), compressed and GPG encrypted the results, and uploaded them to a sever managed by our group where the data would be processed by server-side scripts. See: http://webjob.sourceforge.net/WebJob/ We audited several hundred servers university-wide for sensitive information (for data classification purposes) and security-relevant configuration details. I've been trying to add this type of functionality to a different tool I wrote a while back (http://home.gwu.edu/~coach/GWIT.htm), but at this point, the ftimes/webjob duo is better IMO. -gary ------ Gary Golomb Computer Forensics Engineer ISS/Network Systems Security 801 22nd St NW Rm B204A Washington, DC 20052 coach () gwu edu http://home.gwu.edu/~coach
