If you're talking about vuln scanner, I'd suggest : nessus (my favourite one), or even whisker (written in Perl)... If you're talking about detecting intrusion, a search with IDS as keyword will bring you tons of results : Portsentry, Snort, Hostsentry, NFR, Tripwire, Toby... Anyway a list of excellent security tools is available here (thanks to fyodor). "Only Bad Coders Code Badly In Perl" (OBC2BIP)	[reply]

mmm I seem to be in a nitpicking mode... It's my opinion that most people here are probably hackers... Ofcourse, I do mean hacker as stated in the jargon file... You probably mean cracker, also as stated in the jargon file :) Greetz Beatnik ... Quidquid perl dictum sit, altum viditur.	[reply]
