User Expectations and Legal Considerations

15.1 Using INTOUCH INSA

INTOUCH INSA is a very powerful network surveillance security tool. Used properly, INTOUCH INSA can aid in the early detection of computer crime. However, using INTOUCH INSA to its full potential requires a complete understanding of the content of this manual. Failure to read this manual completely can have a serious negative impact on the effective use of INTOUCH INSA.

INTOUCH INSA is intended to be used solely to aid in the detection of intruders and computer-use policy violations. Any application of INTOUCH INSA outside the scope of its intended use is not supported or condoned by Touch Technologies, Inc.---and is a violation of the INTOUCH INSA license agreement.

INTOUCH INSA should not be used in any manner that is a violation of Local, State, or Federal laws. If you have any questions regarding the legal use of a network surveillance security tool, we suggest that you contact appropriate legal counsel.

15.2 Setting User Expectations

Setting up and defining user expectations is considered a necessity by many legal experts.

As a suggestion, system login and FTP banners can be used to provide information on user expectations. Banners can be worded similar to the one shown in the following example:


    %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 
    %% TEST is a restricted system.  Unauthorized access is prohibited. %% 
    %% All user activity is subject to monitoring and audit controls.   %% 
    %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 

Touch Technologies, Inc. suggests that you consult your legal counsel regarding user expectations and computer-use policies allowed under Local, State and Federal laws in your area.


Chapter 16
Using the INTOUCH INSA Editor

When you maintain the alert rules file and create or maintain E-mail distribution lists, INSA Manager places you in the INTOUCH INSA editor so that you can edit the text in the files. The editor allows you to add, change and delete text.

This chapter explains how to get around when you are in the editor. It describes some of the basic editing commands, how to move around in the text file, how to cut and paste text, exiting, etc.

For more advanced editing information and features, you can refer to The INTOUCH Editor manual.

16.1 Entering, Exiting the Editor

When you create a new E-mail distribution list, after you provide the list name and description and proceed, the screen clears and you see some text. For example, if MGRS and All system managers was entered, you will see:



!** To exit the editor, while holding down the Ctrl key, press the Z key. 
!** This will get you to the "Command:" prompt.  Type EXIT to exit the 
!** editor.  Type HELP for help. 
! 
! All system managers 
[End of file] 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Buffer: MGRS.DIS                                    | Write | Insert | Forward 
 
5 lines read from file INSADISK:[INSA]MGRS.DIS;1 

You have entered the editor. INSA Manager automatically created a file called MGRS and placed you into the editor. You can now perform any of the editing functions.

When you have finished editing, you exit out of the editor. When exiting, you perform two steps which are:

  1. press and hold down the [Ctrl] key and press the [Z] key; this is referred to as Ctrl/Z
  2. at the "Command:" prompt, enter EXIT and press [Return]

When you see "key-1/key-2" (e.g. Ctrl/Z), you always press and hold down key-1 and press key-2 while holding down key-1.

Quitting

If you are in the editor and have made changes and decide that you do not want the changes after all, you can QUIT and no changes will be made to the file. To quit and make no changes:

  1. enter Ctrl/Z (press and hold down [Ctrl] and press [Z])
  2. at the "Command:" prompt, enter QUIT and press [Return]

16.2 The Edit Screen and Screen Options

When the edit screen is displayed, you will see some information about the file you are editing and the edit status. The following describes what you see on the screen when you enter the editor.



!** To exit the editor, while holding down the Ctrl key, press the Z key. 
!** This will get you to the "Command:" prompt.  Type EXIT to exit the 
!** editor.  Type HELP for help.        (1)
! 
! All system managers 
[End of file] (2)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
       (3)                                                (4)       (5)        (6)
 Buffer: MGRS.DIS                                    | Write | Insert | Forward 
 
5 lines read from file INSADISK:[INSA]MGRS.DIS;1  (7)

  1. these are the lines of text in this buffer; in this example, there are 5 lines of text
  2. [End of file] marks the end of the text in the buffer
  3. Buffer: xxx is the name of the work space where the text you are editing is located; in this example, MGRS is the name of the buffer
  4. Write means that this buffer can be written; when EXIT is entered, the buffer will be written to disk
  5. Insert is the current mode; there is also an overstrike mode; the differences are:
    Ctrl/A is used to change modes; insert is the default mode
  6. tells the current direction; the directions are Forward and Reverse; to change direction:
  7. this is the full file name or file specification; the file specification consists of the file location, file name and extension, and the version number of the file you are editing

    16.3 Keypad Keys

    When you edit text, you use the keypad keys. These keys are:

    Editing Keypad with Key Labels
    PF1 PF2 PF3 PF4
    7 8 9 -
    4 5 6 ,

    In the above diagram, the text on the left tells how to get more help. To exit the help diagram, press [Return].

    When referring to the keypad keys (other than the PF keys), the letters KP are used. For example, KP4 is keypad 4, KP0 is keypad 0, KP- is keypad -, etc.

    16.4 Editing Text

    This section explains how to:
    • add text
    • delete text
    • move around in the buffer
    • move text
    • search for specific text
    • replace text

    16.4.1 Adding Text

    To add a line of text, type in the text and then press [Return]. The following example shows how to add two names to an E-mail distribution list:


    
     Sam[Return]
     George[Return]
     X              <-- cursor ends up here 
     [End of file] 
    

    This example shows how to add several lines of text and how to put in blank lines. Simply press the [Return] key to add a blank line.


    
     ! Adding some alert rules.[Return]
     [Return]
     alert mgrs "sysgen>"[Return]
     [Return]
     alert priv "set ?*/priv"[Return]
     [Return]
     end[Return]
     X                    <-- cursor 
     [End of file] 
    

    16.4.2 Deleting Text

    To delete a line of text, a word or character, use the keypad keys as follows:
      delete a line place the cursor anywhere on the line and then press PF4
      delete a word place the cursor on the first letter of the word and then press KP- (keypad minus sign)
      delete a character place the curson on the character and then press KP, (keypad comma)

    To restore the last deleted line, word or character, you use a set of keys. The first key is the PF1 key, the Gold key. Do not hold the first key down, just press the first key and then press the second key.
      restore a line press PF1 and then press PF4
      restore a word press PF1 and then press KP-
      restore a character press PF1 and then press KP,

    Delete to End of Line

    If you are in the middle of a text line and want to delete the rest of the text on the line, you first press PF1 (the Gold Key) and then press KP2 to delete the text. To restore text you deleted by mistake, press PF1 and then PF4.

    Using the Delete Key

    If are entering text and want to delete the last word(s) or character(s), you entered, you can use the delete key <X|. The delete key works like an eraser and deletes text and spaces to the left.

    16.4.3 Moving Around in the Buffer

    The keypad keys are used to move up or down depending on the current direction.
      KP0 moves the cursor down to the start of the next line if the direction is Forward

    if the direction is Reverse, moves the cursor up to the start of the previous line or to the start of the current line if the cursor is in the middle of the line

    for continuous up or down movement, hold down or repeat KP0

    to set the direction, use KP4 for Forward and KP5 for Reverse

      KP8 if the direction is Forward, moves the cursor down to the start of the next section or 15 lines down

    if the direction is Reverse, moves the cursor back or up to the start of the previous section or 15 lines up

      PF1, KP4 moves the cursor to the bottom of the buffer
      PF1, KP5 moves the cursor to the top of the buffer

    Using the Arrow Keys

    The Arrow Keys can be used to move up, down, right and left.

    You might use the Up arrow, for example, when you are in the middle of a text line and want to go to the same position in the previous line.

    Moving Right and Left

    Specific keys are used to move to the end of the line or to the next word or character.

    When the direction is Forward:
      KP1 moves the cursor to the right one word
      KP2 moves the cursor to the right to the end of the text line
      KP3 moves the cursor to the right one character

    When the direction is Reverse:
      KP1 moves the cursor to the left one word
      KP2 moves the cursor up or back to the end of the previous line
      KP3 moves the cursor to the left one character

    16.4.4 Moving Text - Cut and Paste

    You can move text from one part of the buffer to another. This is referred to as "cut and paste" because you cut text out of one location and paste it into another location.

    To cut and paste text, you perform these steps:

    1. place the cursor at the beginning of the text line to be moved
    2. select the text you want to move
    3. cut or remove the selected text from its current location
    4. place the cursor where you want to paste or put the text
    5. paste the selected text into the new location

    The following example shows how to cut and paste two lines of text.


    
     1 - This is line 1a. 
         This is line 1b. 
     3 - This is line 3a.   <-- these lines 
         This is line 3b.   <-- will be moved 
     2 - This is line 2a. 
         This is line 2b. 
     4 - This is line 4a. 
         This is line 4b. 
    

    Place the cursor at the start of line 3 on the number "3" (see above).

    Press KP. (keypad dot or period) to tell the editor that you want to select text.

    Press KP0 twice to select the two lines of text. The selected lines of text will be shown in reverse video.


    
     1 - This is line 1a. 
         This is line 1b. 
     3 - This is line 3a.
         This is line 3b.
     2 - This is line 2a. 
         This is line 2b. 
     4 - This is line 4a. 
         This is line 4b. 
    

    Press KP6 to cut or remove the text.

    Move the cursor down two lines to the number "4" because we want to insert the lines above the lines starting with "4".


    
     1 - This is line 1a. 
         This is line 1b. 
     2 - This is line 2a. 
         This is line 2b. 
     4 - This is line 4a. 
         This is line 4b. 
    

    Press PF1 and then press KP6 to paste or place the selected text in the new location.


    
     1 - This is line 1a. 
         This is line 1b. 
     2 - This is line 2a. 
         This is line 2b. 
     3 - This is line 3a.   <-- moved 
         This is line 3b.   <-- text 
     4 - This is line 4a. 
         This is line 4b. 
    

    Here is a recap of the steps:
      set cursor place the cursor at the beginning of the first line to be moved
      KP. turns on select
      KP0 select or mark the lines of text to be moved
      KP6 cuts or removes the text from its current location
      move cursor place cursor where you want to put the text
      PF1, KP6 pastes the text in the new location

    Un-Selecting Text

    If you select text (using KP. and KP0) and realize you selected the wrong text, you can un-select the text by first pressing PF1 (the Gold Key) and then pressing KP. (keypad dot).

    If you select and cut the wrong text, just paste it back in the same place.

    16.4.5 Searching for Specific Text

    You can search and locate specific text (a single word or several words) in the buffer without having to review all the text lines. To do a forward search for the word "computer", follow these steps:
    1. Press PF1 and then press PF3.
    2. At the "Forward Find:" prompt, enter the word computer.

    When the text is found, the cursor is placed at the beginning of the word and the word is highlighted.

    If you are doing a Forward search and the text is found in the Reverse direction, the message:

    Found in reverse direction. Go there?

    is displayed. Press the [Return] key or enter Y or Yes if you want to go there. Enter N or No if you do not want to go there.

    You can do searches in Forward or Reverse directions.

    If the editor cannot find the text you are searching for, the message:

    Could not find: xxx

    will be displayed.

    If you want to search for another occurrence of the same text, press PF3. The editor will place the cursor at the next occurrence if it exists or tell you if it exists in the other direction or tell you if it could not be found.

    If you have searched for several text items and want to search for a previous item again, you can search for the item without having to enter the text again. To do this:

    1. Press PF1 and then PF3.
    2. At the "Forward Find:" prompt, press the Up arrow key as many times as it takes to find the text you searched for previously. After the text is displayed, press the [Return] key to do the search.
