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.
