NetKuang--A Multi-Host Configuration Vulnerability Checker
Dan Zerkle and Karl Levitt, University of California, Davis
NetKuang is an extension to Baldwin's SU-Kuang. It runs on networks of computers using Unix and can find vulnerabilities created by poor system configuration. Vulnerabilities are discovered using a backwards, goal-based search that is breadth-first on individual hosts and parallel when multiple hosts are checked. An implementation in C++ found real vulnerabilities on production systems . Tests show reasonably fast performance on a Lan.
