Publisher's Description
From Lagoon Software:
"Hack or be hacked". MacAnalysis analyzes your Unix, NT, or Mac computers, identifies misconfigurations and vulnerabilities like any experienced hacker would, and offers advice on how to efficiently fix these problems and protect your server from potential exploits. Recognizes thousands of mail, web, and ftp daemons and supports multiple operating systems. Built-in internet hooks automatically update its database to keep its exploits up-to-date. As of today, MacAnalysis contains more than 1600 recorded holes (the oldest discovered in 1992).
MacAnalysis has also a plethora of network tools:
- IP Mapping Tools: Find the location relative to an IP (up to city precision) and see it drawed on a 3D detailed map, with zooming effects, and find the nearest webcam available.
- Status Bar: Monitor graphically your CPU and network load
- Steganography: Hide and crypt messages in any image file for maximum stealth Network Optimizer: Optimize and speedup your Internet connection through kernel tuning
- AntiVirus: MacAnalysis searches for viruses on your computer. If a virus is found, the infected file will be quarantined to prevent it from affecting other files on your computer or spreading to other users on the network.
- System Cleaner:: A Cookie manager, a log manager and a crash manager have been added
- RC4 Messenger: Chat securely (128bits) with anyone in the world through a user savvy interface
- Anonymous mailer: Send traceback-free emails with Macanalysis' integrated smtpd. Emails can be ciphered with the blowfish algorithm.
- Visual Traceroute: it traces the path took by packets between 2 hosts by drawing lines on a world map.
- Firewall: MacAnalysis runs a TCP/IP stacks monitoring's system, allowing an optimal recognition of the attack intented to you. For example, MacAnalysis can detect if one person makes a traceroute towards you, sends fragmented packets in order to trick your system's security, performs DoS attacks, exploits trojan virus via a backdoor..MacAnalysis supports SNORT rules.
- Content Watcher: It watchs outgoing data and prevents unauthorized export of private info.
- Nmap frontend: It uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available on the network, what services they are offering, what operating system (and OS version) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other characteristics
- Ping: It calculs the response to echo request packets sent to a known address
- Name Scan: It performs a Name Lookup on a range of IP addresses
- TCP Bouncer: Bounce any connections from your computer
- Finger: It finds user informations on a remote host
- Port Scan: It finds active services on a remote host
- Reverse IP: It transforms a host to ip address and ip to host
- Services Scan: It finds active services on a range of IP addresses
- DNS Lookup: It performs NS, SOA, CNAME, MX, IN A requests
- Whois: It finds domain informations
- DUP Broadcast Scan: It detects Smurf amplifier
- Security Browser: It allows to configure exploits with an integrated browser
- Brute Force: It supports POP3/SMTP protocols. Pre-configured world-list
- Build-in Search Engines: It allows you to earch something on computer breachs archives / Unix Files

"What a waste of good money..."
Version: MacAnalysis X 2.3.2
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I'd love to give a positive review, but I have not received my serial number. I used their ridiculas activation system, and didn't get my serial number. This so called activation system doesn't give you a second or third try for that matter -- it mearly tells you that you already received your serial number. They do not return emails (ever) and there's no way of contacting them by telephone. This company is by far the worst excuse for software security -- it's kind of ironic that a security developer is commiting fraud and getting away with it. -
"warning: buggy software, no customer service or..."
Version: MacAnalysis X 2.3.2
Summary
...support!
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
MacAnalysis provides a wonderful front-end for many different security tools and utilities that are scattered around the net and/or pre-installed with Mac OS X. It also adds some unique security vulnerability assessments that are really great.
The problem: this is one of the buggiest Mac apps I've ever dealt with! It crashes at the end of nearly every security scan, unfortunately right before the scan report is able to save. This makes it practically useless.
I feel ripped off, having paid the $55 for the full version. Multiple emails to the support address have gone completely unanswered.
Save your cash for something else! A good book on security and a few open source security tools will serve you much better. -
"TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE....."
Version: MacAnalysis X 2.3.2
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I must say the product seems solid enough but after my experience or "lack there of" with the developers I highly recommend that no one do business with these people. I spent a good deal of money on their products and yet cannot seem to get a response of any kind from the staff. Really too bad. -
"Well.."
Version: MacAnalysis X 2.3.2
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
While it has its limitations and lack of stability, I say without hesitation that this is one of the best purchase I have ever made. it includes everything I expect a security tool to have. I don't understand people who complain about the delay in the delivery of the serial, i've received mine in one minute.. it's an AUTOMATIC process ! -
"Awesome app !"
Version: MacAnalysis X 2.3.2
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
And it's one of those rare apps that's fun to play around with. It provides a good education for the newbie user and should meet the demands of the more demanding, experienced user. This software is awesome ! -
"Couldn't launch MacAnalysis 2.3.2 on Mac OS X 10.3"
Version: MacAnalysis X 2.3.2
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Used MacAnalysis for a long time. It's a great tool!!
Installed the current version 2.3.2 on Panther/10.3 today. Tried to launch it, but an alert appeared: -10810 (an unknown error appeared).
Repaired disk permissions, but didn't solve this problem!!!
Does somebody else have this problem?! -
"Great Product, worth it..."
Version: MacAnalysis X 2.3.2
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This is abandonware and has been so for many, many years. Why is this still on cnet?
Although I don't like product activation in general because you can lose precious time messing w/ activation whenever you are updating your system, etc... this dev has been great. When I upgraded to OS X, the dev expeditiously sent me new serials and I was up and running in no time. Don't get me wrong, I hate product activation in general, but this dev responds quick enough that I don't hate this product activation scheme as much as others (Quickbooks, for example... SUCKS).
Anyway, that said... MacAnalysis is a great security product (it can be used for great good... or evil). Only one thing I wish for, though... I wish some of the exploits were better explained so you can more easily determine the specifics on how to duplicate them... but, then again, that might be telling people too much, I suppose? Hahaha... (evil grin)

"Product Activation = bad"
Version: MacAnalysis X 2.3.2
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
MacAnalysis looks like an excellent product and I would have bought it but for one very important issue.
It uses Product Activation.
This means it is tied to ONE computer and cannot be moved to a different one. It is not even clear if you can reinstall on the SAME computer.
Like many companies we frequently choose to wipe and rebuild machines (e.g. to upgrade operating systems) and would then reinstall programs. Product Activation prevents this.
Like many companies we move computers between users, i.e. when a new computer is bought for a power user, their old one is wiped and passed down to a less demaning user. Product Activation prevents this.
Like many companies we occasionally have machines die, recently an iMac G4 had a faulty video chip and had to have a new logic board. The new logic board had a new serial number. Even with the same hard disk Product Activation would have prevented us using the software.
Like many people companies occasionally machines get stolen. This year we had three laptops stolen and replaced. With Product Activation we would not be able to install and use the software on the new machines.
In short product activation is the work of the devil.
While our company works hard to ensure all the software we use is legal, I as IT Manager _WILL NOT_ purchase any software or upgrade to versions of software which uses product activation for all the above problems.
So Quark Xpress 6 will not be bought (we use InDesign 2 instead), being 100% Mac based we fortunately don't have to use Windows XP or Office XP, I obviously will NOT be buying MacAnalysis (no matter how good the product maybe), and should Adobe foolishly go down the road of product activation as rumoured I will not buy any further upgrades from them (this year I upgrade Acrobat, Photoshop and InDesign).
For those people who might think that in all the above cases the manufacturer would be willing to reissue an activation code I would point out that recently HUNDREDS of European Quark Xpress 6 purchasers had to wait 6 weeks or more to get their software activated. Being at the mercy of software companies like this is not acceptable. I would also point out Internet access is not always available (especially outside the USA).
