SARA, una de les eines més completes per a realitzar una anàlisi preliminar de vulnerabilitats d'un sistema.
The Security Auditor's Research Assistant (SARA) is a third generation Unix-based security analysis tool that is:
- Used for CIS benchmark initiatives
- Plug-in facility for third party apps
- SANS/ISTS Certified New
- CVE standards support
- Enterprise search module
- Standalone or daemon mode
- Free-use open SATAN oriented license
- Updated twice a month
- User extension support
- Based on the SATAN model.
Advanced Research's philosophy relies heavily on software re-use. Rather than inventing a new module, SARA is adapted to interface to other community products. For instance, SARA interfaces with Nmap for superior "Operating System fingerprinting". Also, SARA provides a transparent interface to SAMBA for SMB security analysis.
