hi, early june last year i emailed "mscan 1.0" to rootshell.com.  i
didnt expect there to be such an explosion thereafter.. but almost all
the major security organizations released advisories about it, etc, and
to this day i get script kiddies on irc msg'ing me asking me why it wont
compile on such and such a box, asking me to add new vulnerability
checks, etc.  at any rate, mscan 1.0 was the most disgusting mess of
code i've personally ever seen, so as repentance i have coded "sscan".
this tool is much more powerful than mscan, and has been created with
self-replication (integration into internet worms), configurability, and
expandibility in mind.  a built in scripting language allows anyone with
*no* programming knowledge to add vulnerability checks in a matter of
seconds.

os detection is done with both tcp/ip stack id, and more traditional
methods as well...

the alpha release of sscan is available at:
http://bear.berkeleycs.ml.org/~jsbach/sscan.tar.gz

for now only linux (libc and glibc) are supported, but ports to other
OS's are underway... this tool will be much expanded, this is only a
prototype sorta th1ng...

please, * DO NOT POST SSCAN ON YOUR WEBSITE *, this is an alpha release,
wait for the 1.0 release, then mirror it to your hearts content.  I'm
looking for feedback here.. email me at jsb4ch@hotmail.com.  thanks!

p.s. this program is dedicated to wesley "silitek" walsh, thanks for
your support mang
