Linux Private Data Search - SENF

Last Updated: 10/19/2012
Overview 

SENF (Sensitive Number Finder) is an application written at the University of Texas for the purpose of searching computers for sensitive data. SENF searches through the content of all files looking for matches to the criteria put forth by the author at the University of Texas.

System Requirements: Linux platforms running Java JVM version 1.5 and later.

Important: SENF is not 100% effective. There are many file types that store information in a way that SENF cannot interpret and there are limits to the search commands themselves. The OIT distribution attempts to strike a good balance between effectiveness and usability.

Cost
