What's your take on Linux friendly sensitive number (SSN, credit card) search tools? We've previously looked at 
Spider and we've run SENF, but it's time to see if there are better tools out there with lower false positive rates, 
the potential to report centrally, or other useful enterprise style features.

Thanks!

There's our Find_SSN tool that's available from http://security.vt.edu.
Runs on all three platforms.
