Installation And Usage

1. Download the file AmigaguideInspector (13 kilobytes)
2. Copy the file to your C: directory (or anywhere else in your ‘path’ variable)
3. Type AmigaguideInspector file where ‘file’ is the file to inspect (including the path to the file) - for example Documents:Amigaguide/Safalra.guide
4. Read the resulting security report - there are five kinds of security risk:
   • System - calls to AmigaDOS commands activated by a link
   • Onopen - execution of ARexx scripts automatically
   • Onclose - execution of ARexx scripts automatically
   • Rx - execution of ARexx scripts activated by a link
   • Rxs - execution of ARexx code activated by a link
   The presence of a risk does not mean that the document is malicious, just that it cannot be guaranteed to be safe.
