SARA Directories

bin -- The bin directory contains Perl scripts that SARA calls to run the various vulnerabilities analysis. Note that the SARA program/script is actually in the root of the application directory structure at /usr/local/sara/.

config -- The config directory contains multiple configuration files. The two most commonly used ones are the sara.cf and the passwords file. The sara.cf file contains most of the configuration parameters SARA uses, and the password file contains the user IDs and passwords created by the add_user script.

docs -- The docs directory contains the pre-install documents for SARA, including the INSTALL and README files.

html -- The html directory contains the html code, Perl code, and graphics necessary for SARA to serve up the Web interface.

perl -- This directory contains the scripts that make up the logic of SARA, such as updating a database, checking a password, etc.

perllib -- The perllib directory contains Perl 5 scripts that are sometimes not included in Perl 5.

results -- This directory contains the database directories in which SARA stores results. The standard database directories are sara-data and SEARCH.

rules -- This directory contains the tables that are used to identify information ("facts") that are contained in a specific database in the results directory. For example, a host may be identified by its ftp banner. In this case, SARA would use the hosttype file in the rules directory to determine whether the host can be identified by the ftp banner.
