Heh, who in their right mind installs something w/o source.... Especially
from the FBI ;)They are the ones that want to BACKDOOR every crypto product...

It looks like a packet sniffer that just looks for the fingerprints of
these attacks. Nothing really special. It even looks like it has the
exploit compiled in(strings , nm -Du, ldd  the binary), probably cut and
paste work. The fact that they have it only for Solaris(SPARC and x86) and
Red Hat tells you
those are the only types of boxes they have, or the only thing they could
get it to work on.
