If you're a SysAdmin, you should know what nmap is, so dig this:
'In May/June of 2000, we conducted a survey of 1200 Nmap users from the nmap-hackers mailing list to determine their favorite security tools.' Guess what? Perl is (approx) 33rd in the list. Most popular (and a favorite of mine) is Nessus, but other good company being SAINT and SATAN among others. I know I use several Perl scripts to tie together some of the mentioned tools, as well as some unique programs to do further auditing, logging and reporting. So, while this is a Meditation, I'll ask a question: Do you use Perl for security purposes? If so, how (and why)? Insecure Dot Org Top 50 Security Tools
