Thanks to those of you who responded. What I unanimously heard was that
SATAN is outdated, and a better product is available called SAINT. It can
be found at:
http://www.wwdsi.com/saint/
For those of you who still want to run SATAN & have the problems with their
web browser read on.
If you use Netscape (4.5.1) go to
Edit->Preferences->Navigator->Applications. find the reference for perl (or
x-perl). Remove the suffix entry "pl" and it will work.
But SAINT works without this modification.
Best of luck,

Subject: running Satan from DEC Alpha
I just installed Satan & would like to run it to test my network's security.
In reading the troubleshooting section I noticed a section that stated that
when scanning certain DEC Alphas it generates a kernel memory fault when the
UDP port gets scanned & then the system reboots to single user mode because
the filesystem is so messed up.
Has anyone out there had any problems?
I am running a 4100 & a 2100 - both running 4.0D - patch level 3.
Also - if you've used SATAN before I'm having some problems launching it.
>From the initial html screen there are hyperlinks for SATAN data
management,
Target Selection Report etc. But when I select one of these I get a popup
window to "Save As... (type application/x-perl)" Is my Perl misconfigured -
or is SATAN? any ideas?
Thanks for your help - it is appreciated.
