Hi Phillip,

I have never done UX specific security audiy before, but yes I have been using my favorite port scanner and tools. 

UX is based on PA-RISC and IA64 Itanium, though PA-RISC has reached its end of sales last year I think. 

UX have different endian from Linux. It's endian is same with other UNIXes such as AIX and SOLARIS. 

Thanks
