Tiger Analytical Research Assistant (TARA) is an upgrade to the TAMU 'tiger' program. At the time TARA was created, tiger hadn't been updated for several years.... however tiger is now being maintained (see below). There were numerous changes made to the 'systems' directories. Output was streamlined to provide a more readable report file. Also, minor bugs in the 'scripts' directory were corrected. TARA was tested under Red Hat Version 5.x, 6.x, SGI IRIX 5.3, 6.x, and SunOS 5.x. This upgrade was performed by the Advanced Research Corporation under a contract from the the United States Government. (WHAT?) These scripts basically check common localhost security issues such as filesystem permissions, suid executables, path security violations, etc.
