-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Coming late to the party owing to an e-mail outage. Spider3 will scan HTTP/HTTPS sites using arbitrary credentials, process whatever file types it finds there, etc. IdentityFinder has the same capabilities. - --On Monday, June 16, 2008 11:53 AM -0400 "Watson, Michael" <michael.watson () VITA VIRGINIA GOV> wrote:
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!

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. -Randy Marchany VA Tech IT Security Office & Lab
