WHAT IS GABRIEL?

    As a public service, Los Altos Technologies, Inc., a provider of
    Unix security software, has developed and released a free SATAN
    detector called Gabriel(tm).  Gabriel gives the system
    administrator an early warning of possible network intrusions by
    detecting and identifying SATAN's network probing.  Gabriel is a
    complete and ready to run package that DOES NOT require Perl or
    any other software or libraries.


HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

    We are providing Gabriel at no charge to its customers or anyone
    else who wishes to use it subject to the terms explained in
    the COPYRIGHT file.


WHY DID LOS ALTOS TECHNOLOGIES CREATE GABRIEL?

    We are deeply concerned with network security and the possible
    negative effects of SATAN and other network probing software.  By
    combining SATAN with Gabriel, a system administrator can get all the
    benefits of running authorized SATAN scans without the risks of
    unauthorized and undetected network probing.


HOW IS IT SUPPORTED?  HOW DO I JOIN THE MAILING LIST?

    It is expected that future updates, enhancements and revisions
    will come from the users' group.  To subscribe to the users'
    group mailing list, send a message to "majordomo@lat.com" with

HOW DO I MAKE GABRIEL FROM SOURCE CODE?

    Gabriel includes pre-compiled binaries for Solaris 1.x and
    Solaris 2.x, so you do not need to build it from source.
    If you wish to compile it execute "make all" and follow
    the directions.


HOW DO I INSTALL AND EVALUATE GABRIEL?

    Follow the directions in the man page, gabriel.8.  You can print
    this file using "troff -man -t gabriel.8 | lpr -t", or just look
    at gabriel.txt.  Basically, you just run the server install
    script, and then the client install script.
