Welcome! This is a quick intro to COPS (Computer Oracle and Password System.)
|
|
COPS is a collection of security tools that are designed specifically to aid
|
|
the typical UNIX systems administrator, programmer, operator, or consultant
|
|
in the oft neglected area of computer security.
|
|
|
|
The package can be broken down into three key parts. The first is the actual
|
|
set of programs that attempt to automate security checks that are often
|
|
performed manually (or perhaps with self written short shell scripts or
|
|
programs) by a systems administrator. The second part is the documentation,
|
|
which details how to set up, operate, and to interpret any results given by
|
|
the programs. Finally, COPS is an evolving beast. It includes a list of
|
|
possible extensions that might appear in future releases, as well as pointers
|
|
to other works in UNIX security that could not be included at this time, due
|
|
to space or other restrictions.
