Tiger Analytical Research Assistant (TARA) is an upgrade
to the TAMU 'tiger' program. Since 'tiger' has not been 
updated since 1994, there were numerous changes made to
the 'systems' directories. Output was streamlined to
provide a more readable report file. Also, minor bugs in
the 'scripts' directory were corrected. TARA was tested
under Red Hat Version 5.x, 6.x, SGI IRIX 5.3, 6.x, and
SunOS 5.x. This upgrade was performed by the Advanced
Research Corporation under a contract from the the United
States Government. 

From the original Tiger README: 

"..tiger is a set of scripts that scan a Un*x system looking
for security problems, in the same fashion as Dan Farmer's
COPS. 'tiger' was originally developed to provide a check
of UNIX systems on the A&M campus that want to be accessed
from off campus (clearance through the packet filter).  As
such, we needed something that *anyone* could run if they
could figure out how to get it down to their machine."
