Well, Current packages such as COPS and ISS provide the same sort of
high-profile distribution and display of these threats. Even TAMU's tiger
package does a better job than ISS and COPS, and gives you an incredibly
detailed report.
I can't say much for the validity or function of satan, as noone I know of
has seen the package, but I can say that similiar tools exist, and that
being as full source code is available for all 3 packages (iss,cops,tiger)
You can easily find out how the packages detect the holes, as well as what
you need to do to exploit them.
