A while ago there was mention here of the Treasury Department's Computer Investigator Specialist Program (CIS) unit showing up in various logs. Here is the unit's home page, which describes its mission, and where it hosts a large collection of security tools: http://www.cis.fed.gov/menu.html This lead came from someone who saw this message: ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- Date sent: Sun, 19 Mar 2000 14:40:33 -0500 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Andrew Fried <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: linux-ipsec: US Mirror Site Hello - this is my first time on the list and I wanted to introduce myself and make an offer to mirror your software on my FTP server. My name is Andrew and I manage a computer security group within the United States Department of the Treasury. Over the years, we have actively promoted security solutions to our government agencies. One way of doing this has been to host a web site that distributes open source security software that we've identified and feel would be of use. One of the first "projects" we hosted from its beginnings was Nessus. Since then, we've become an official mirror for SSH as well. I have taken the liberty of downloading your software and placing it on our publicly available FTP site. You will find the software at: ftp://ftp.cis.fed.gov/pub/freeswan With the community's permission, I would like to mirror your site and make your software available to the general public. Since I am new here, I would like to get a feel for how often the contents change and when most of the changes occur. That would help me to determine the frequency and time of the mirroring. If any of you would like further information please feel free to contact me directly. My email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Andrew -----
