LinuxForce Inc. announces release of a new Network Security Product

     LinuxForce Inc. announced today AdminForce CGI Auto Audit as the
     newest addition to its line of automated network security products.
     
   Boulder, CO -- November 8, 2001 --  LinuxForce Inc. the leading provider
   of Linux products and migration services to commercial and institutional
   computer network operations announced the release of a newly developed
   automated CGI Script analyzer which quickly and economically manages CGI
   script structure and identifies potential security deficiencies. The
   product has been named AdminForce CGI Auto Audit.
   The LinuxForce Perl and Shell CGI analysis scripts identify dangerous CGI
   constructs so that they can be fixed. These automated routines allow
   hundreds of scripts per day to be analyzed with the same level of quality
   as a traditional line-by-line audit.
   
   A library of metacharacter "scrubbing" routines are provided to assist
   with the CGI clean-up operations. A team of CGI programmers can quickly
   adjust the scripts to account for false positives that may be encountered
   to further accelerate the testing process.
   
   CGI testing can be conducted remotely, so that expensive on-site visits
   by programmers is not needed in most cases.
   
   Charles B Fleming President & CEO of LinuxForce said: "This product was
   initially developed in response to the need of a highly prestigious
   client with a large number of CGI scripts written through the years.
   There had been minimal attention given to security issues. A need was
   recognized to quickly and inexpensively audit the scripts and improve
   security in their operations. The LinuxForce development team responded
   in record time to meet the clients security needs in regard to their CGI
   Scripts. Further refinement has produced this product which will now
   prove useful to a broad range of companies with heightened security
   concerns".
   
   AdminForce LLC is the LinuxForce affiliate that will handle distribution
   of the AForce CGI Auto Audit. The CGI Script Security Auditing product
   represents the latest in a growing product line of Linux based security
   and remote administration products developed and marketed by the
   LinuxForce/Adminforce Team.
