Re: Security Packages

There is a program that probes a machine quite extensively for security 
holes (from what I hear from trusted sources).  It is called SATAN 
(security analysis tool for auditing networks) Here is a few url's to get 
you going...

I don't believe it is a debian package, someone feel free to prove me 
wrong because I truly don't know.
