Our military is using open source software written by a Russian hacker to secure its networks!

If they are, then we need to know about it. The main thing is preventing something like that from ever happening in the first place, which means keeping guys like you off of there completey it sounds like.

Anybody who knows anything about 'nix security already knows about it. It's an excellent tool for securing your network. It's also open source, so there's not much of a chance for him hiding anything malicious in it. Besides, his reputation would be destroyed if any such thing were found.

Just off the top of your head, any 'nix guys out there know about a network mapping tool available for most 'nixes and written by a Russian hacker?

For you GE I'll give a hint, his handle is the same as the first name of a famous Russian author.
