'tiger'\nwas originally developed to provide a check of UNIX systems on the A\u0026M\ncampus that want to be accessed from off campus (clearance through the\npacket filter).  As such, they needed something that *anyone* could run\nif they could figure out how to get it down to their machine.\n\nIf you just want to run it, without regards to time considerations,\nthen just 'cd' into the tiger directory, and run './tiger' as 'root'.\n\nThe 'tigerrc' file is set up for a generic host, and enables all checks.\nYou can customize this file as needed.\n\n(Or use the '-c' switch to use an alternate tigerrc file as of 2.2.2)\n\nPlease read the file USING for more information on how to use Tiger.\nAnd read the file COPYING for legal stuff.\n\nIf you have any thing to say about 'tiger', please let us know (see\nbelow).  New things to check, how to improve things, *anything*, send \nit in... if you think someone else has already sent in a bug report, \nsuggestion, etc., send it in anyway... the more times someone hits us\nover the head with something, the more likely it is to get fix/included...\n\nNeeds\n-----\n\nTiger needs a standard POSIX shell to run, a C compiler if you wish to compile\nthe binaries used and some other (optional) utilities, including the standard\nUNIX file utilities and text utilities (the GNU versions work fine for this).\n\n\nMailing lists\n-------------\n\nThere are now two mailing lists available for the 'tiger' at\nsavannah.gnu.org. These two mailing lists are:\n\n- a user's mailing list: tiger-user@nongnu.org\n    Dedicated to users of the Tiger tool, feel free to ask here any questions\n    on how to run the tool, configure it or adapt it to your system.\n    http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tiger-user\n\n- a developer's mailing list:  tiger-devel@nongnu.org\n    If you want to help us improve Tiger this is where all discussion on \n    improvements on the tool take place.\n    http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tiger-devel\n\nNote that the previous mailing list (at 'majordomo@net.tamu.edu') does\nno longer work.\n\nAvailability\n-------------\n\nThe latest versions of Tiger can be downloaded from Savannah at\nhttp://savannah.gnu.org/files/?group=tiger\n\nPrevious versions are available at the \"TAMU Security Tools: Tiger\" page\nhttp://www.net.tamu.edu/network/tools/tiger.html\n\nYou can browse the CVS code at\nhttp://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/tiger/tiger/\n\nMore information on the project, including bug tracking, task manager, etc.\navailable at:\nhttp://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/tiger\n\nLatest signatures\n-----------------\n\nYou can check to see if you have the latest digital signatures\nfor the system(s) you are checking.  There are some signature files \navailable on anonymous FTP at\n\n      net.tamu.edu:/pub/security/TAMU/tiger-sigs/*\n\nThe util/installsigs script can be used to install the updated\nsignatures.  As of Tiger 2.2.2, installsigs is also capable\nof installing signatures for new OS releases (not new platforms\nor major releases though).\n\nNote however, that these signatures have not been updated for quite some\ntime (and might not be up-to-date with your current system). If you can\nprovide newer signatures please submit them to the developer's mailing\nlist.\n\nHistory\n-------\n\nTiger was originally developed by the A\u0026M campus of the Texas University,\nit was written at the same time that COPS, SATAN and Internet Scanner were.\nEventually, after the 2.2.4 version, which was released in 1994, development\nof Tiger stalled.\n\nThree different forks evolved after Tiger: TARA (developed by Advanced\nResearch Computing, available at http://www-arc.com/tara), one internally\ndeveloped by the HP corporation by Bryan Gartner and the last one developed \nfor the Debian GNU/Linux distribution by Javier Fernandez-Sanguino.\n\nThese forks were merged on may 2002 and in June 2002 the new source code,\nnow labeled as the 3.0 release, was published at the Savannah site.\nThe 3.1 release was distributed in October 2002, it was considered\nan unstable release and included some new checks, a new autoconf script\nfor automatic configuration, but mostly included  fixes from\nbugs found after testing Tiger in Debian GNU/Linux and in other \noperating systems. Over 2200 lines of code and documentation were included\nin this release.\n\n\nFirst version by Doug.Schales@net.tamu.edu\nLast update by Javier Fernandez-Sanguino\nLast update by Francisco Manuel García Claramonte (11/02/2010)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fgitgnu%2Fgnu_tiger","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fgitgnu%2Fgnu_tiger","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fgitgnu%2Fgnu_tiger/lists"}
