Is it just me, or does this sound like a commercial version of SATAN? I
wonder what makes SATAN unacceptable (besides the name) while something like
this is apparently acceptable?

ISS and SATAN are different tools. There is a non-commercial version of ISS available. ISS didn't
get as much notice as SATAN - I guess it's because it's author isn't as widely known as Dan Farmer.

Err, no its just because ISS is called ISS. Though if Klaus was into
B&D, bisexuality, gutter philosophy courses, exhibitionism and tight
blank pants perhaps it/he would be better known. Wadda you reckon Klaus?
Could this be the new you :)?
