Greetings. We're trying run the Cornell Spider program to search our
linux boxes for sensitive information (SSN's, credit-card numbers,
etc.). Here's the link:
http://www.cit.cornell.edu/computer/security/tools/spider-linux.html
The program has the appended prerequisites. We've been able to satisfy
many of them with packages that were already installed or that were
available from the dag or dries repositories. This is on an i386 system
running SL 4.4.
But we couldn't find all the prerequisites in those places. In
particular, we couldn't find:
File::LibMagic
File::Path
wvText
unzoo
arj
readpst
We installed the File::* modules via cpan, which isn't so bad, although
I prefer to install strictly via RPM's if possible. The packages are
more of a problem.
Google tells us that there ARE RPM packages available in various places
on the net for all of the missing software (wvText, etc.). But in my
experience there's a lot of tail chasing involved in trying to use such
RPM's (will those Mandriva or Suse RPM's work on this system?), not to
mention the fact that the parentage of some of these packages is
somewhat dubious.
Can anybody suggest a better approach? Has anybody got Cornell Spider
running under SL 4.4?
Thanks.
- Mike
