WHAT IS GABRIEL?
As a public service, Los Altos Technologies, Inc., a provider of
Unix security software, has developed and released a free SATAN
detector called Gabriel(tm). Gabriel gives the system
administrator an early warning of possible network intrusions by
detecting and identifying SATAN's network probing. Gabriel is a
complete and ready to run package that DOES NOT require Perl or
any other software or libraries.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
We are providing Gabriel at no charge to our customers or anyone
else who wishes to use it, subject to the terms explained in
the COPYRIGHT file.
WHY DID LOS ALTOS TECHNOLOGIES CREATE GABRIEL?
We are deeply concerned with network security and the possible
negative effects of SATAN and other network probing software. By
combining SATAN with Gabriel, a system administrator can get all the
benefits of running authorized SATAN scans without the risks of
unauthorized and undetected network probing.
HOW IS IT SUPPORTED? HOW DO I JOIN THE MAILING LIST?
It is expected that future updates, enhancements and revisions
will come from the users' group. To subscribe to the users'
group mailing list, send a message to "majordomo@lat.com" with
any subject line, and inside the body of the message include the
line "subscribe gabriel".
WHERE IS THE LATEST VERSION?
You can get the latest version via World Wide Web or ftp.
http://www.lat.com
ftp://ftp.best.com/pub/lat
HOW DO I MAKE GABRIEL FROM SOURCE CODE?
Gabriel includes pre-compiled binaries for Solaris 1.x and
Solaris 2.x, so you do not need to build it from source.
If you wish to compile it execute "make all" and follow
the directions.
HOW DO I INSTALL AND EVALUATE GABRIEL?
Follow the directions in the manual page, gabriel.8. You can print
this file using "troff -man -t gabriel.8 | lpr -t", or just look
at gabriel.txt. Basically, you just run the server install
script, and then the client install script.
