It is available for free under a GPL license. this tool supports multiple Unix platforms and is written entirely in Shell language. it is a package consisting of Bourne Shell scripts, C code, and data files that are used to check Unix system security problems. It can scan system configuration files, file systems, and user configuration files for possible security problems. The Tiger tool was originally developed by a team of the A&M University supercomputer Center, in September 1993. It is a very good tool for system security auditing. This tool offers multiple options and parameters like generating the HTML page for your security audits which consists of flaws of your system discovered. 

Tiger has some more interesting features that merit its resurrection, including a modular design that is easy to expand, and its double edge.

This tool checks the system configuration and status it is more like a system scanner that we use in our android phones to scan the whole system for any flaws.
