Report:
  It runs ISS, then a package of their own devising, then a
  pre-release version of SATAN.

  You're allowed to run it only once, since crackers have been abusing it.
  Mail goes only to postmaster at the site in question.  They have
  a postmaster-email test, to allow you to confirm that it will work
  before you use up your only test.  If email fails, the report is
  destroyed.

  The descriptions of the bugs it tests are also on the WWW site.
