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. ====================================================================== Los Altos Technologies, Inc. 2111 Grant Rd, Los Altos, CA 94024 Phone: 415/988-4848 Fax: 415/988-4860 Email: info@lat.com
