Up I go onto the soapbox --- feel free to hit the "Delete" button.

The *best* Anti Satan tool is implementing the correct security discipline
on Internet hosts in the first place.  Satan does nothing that can't be
stopped with known, publicized techniques.  The next 5 days are better
spent fixing known, long festering problems than setting up a tool that
proports to "detect" Satan "attacks." 

Down I go off the soapbox and back into the salt mine.
