Re: Scanner for sensitive information

Does anyone have one that will do online sites?  I'm fairly certain
these could be modified to do so but if someone already has it why
duplicate work!  Thanks in advance!

The 3 best (in no particular order) freeware sensitive number scan tools
are:

1. VA Tech's Find_SSNs available from http://security.vt.edu. Hey, I'm
from VT 
so of course, I'll put ours first :-).
2. Cornell's Spider Tool available from
http://www.cit.cornell.edu/security/too
ls
3. UT-Austin's Sensitive Number Finder Tool (SENF) available from 
https://source.its.utexas.edu/groups/its-iso/projects/senf

Some of the Virginia schools including VT are also using a commercial
tool, 
IdentityFinder from www.identityfinder.com. It is able to check .pst
files and 
PDFs for sensitive info.
