Network Security Guard, is an AppleTalk based utility that will scan
multiple zones for the presence of Macintosh servers and compile reports
on the security of those servers. This utility was designed as a tool to
combat the alarming rise in software piracy and as a safeguard against
accidental sharing of confidential materials or access by a malicious
user. It may also be used to explore an AppleTalk network to uncover
all available servers and files.
