    Greetings all,

    Wanted to make you aware about VTmig's new open source security framework
    which was released yesterday...

    SafetyNet v1.0

    http://opensource.w2k.vt.edu/safetynet.php

    SafetyNet (SN) is an open source web based application framework that allows
    authorized users to proactively scan individual and groups of computer
    systems for security vulnerabilities. SN keeps a history of these results
    for comparison and auditing purposes. SN was designed from the ground up to
    be secure, scalable and stable. SN allows you to integrate many available
    open source and freeware security testing tools into SN to help you review
    the security of your computing environment from a concise interface.

         € Development Status: Production/Stable
         € Environment: Web Environment
         € Intended Audience: System Administrators, Developers, Security
    Auditors
         € License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
         € Operating System: MS Windows 2003
         € Programming Languages: Winbatch (http://www.windowware.com), PHP
         € Topic: Security

    Thanks for your time!
