 MITNICK STOLE "SATAN" SECURITY SOFTWARE
 SATAN software (an acronym standing for Security Administrator Tool for 
 Analyzing Networks), which was developed by Dan Farmer of Silicon Graphics 
 to scan thousands of host computers on the Internet for security 
 vulnerabilities, was stolen by Kevin Mitnick, the computer cracker who was 
 arrested last month by the FBI and is now under indictment for 23 counts of 
 fraud involving computer use.  Mitnick broke into Farmer's account on the 
 WELL, a California Internet service provider.  Farmer says he has no way of 
 knowing whether Mitnick shared copies of SATAN over the Internet.  (New 
 York Times 3/12/95 Sec.3, p.11; 3/11/95 p.30)
