Tiger is a security tool that can be use both as a security audit and intrusion detection system. It is a set of scripts that scan a Un*x system looking for security problems, in the same fashion as Dan Farmer’s COPS.
It was originally developed to provide a check of UNIX systems on the A&M campus that want to be accessed from off campus (clearance through the packet filter).
Unlike other tools, Tiger needs only of POSIX tools and is written entirely in shell language.
