"Practical Hacking Techniques and Countermeasures"

Features include the ability
to scan through a firewall, updated security checks from Certification
(CERT) and Computer Incident Advisory Centre (CIAC) bulletins, four
levels of severity (red, yellow, brown, and green), and a feature-rich HTML
interface. Remember that all commands in Linux are
case sensitive
.
Procedure:
Install, execute against target, and review the results.
From the directory containing the compressed files, type
gunzip saintinstall-
5.9.5.gz
.
The
saint-install-5.9.5.gz
file will uncompress and only the
saint-install-
5.9.5
file will remain.
*Note:
When SAINT is downloaded you are required to enter a valid e-mail address.
A temporary License Key will be sent to that address allowing the two
specific target IP addresses you requested to be scanned by SAINT. At this
point I copy that License Key into the same directory that the saint-install-5.9.5
resides in.
