'cops' is a package of programs intended to be used by system administrators
to check for security vulnerability.

It includes a password-guessing program that gets all the easy-to-guess
passwords (i.e., all those that match the user name, or any word in a list
of common passwords, or any word in the English spelling dictionary, or
any of these spelled backward).
