Sugar \Sug"ar\, n. [OE. sugre, F. sucre (cf. It. zucchero, Sp.       az[a3]car), fr. Ar. sukkar, assukkar, fr. Skr. [87]arkar[be]       sugar, gravel; cf. Per. shakar. Cf. {Saccharine}, {Sucrose}.]       1. A sweet white (or brownish yellow) crystalline substance,             of a sandy or granular consistency, obtained by             crystallizing the evaporated juice of certain plants, as             the sugar cane, sorghum, beet root, sugar maple, etc. It             is used for seasoning and preserving many kinds of food             and drink. Ordinary sugar is essentially sucrose. See the             Note below.          Note: The term sugar includes several commercial grades, as                the white or refined, granulated, loaf or lump, and the                raw brown or muscovado. In a more general sense, it                includes several distinct chemical compounds, as the                glucoses, or grape sugars (including glucose proper,                dextrose, and levulose), and the sucroses, or true                sugars (as cane sugar). All sugars are carbohydrates.                See {Carbohydrate}. The glucoses, or grape sugars, are                ketone alcohols of the formula {C6H12O6}, and they turn                the plane of polarization to the right or the left.                They are produced from the amyloses and sucroses, as by                the action of heat and acids of ferments, and are                themselves decomposed by fermentation into alcohol and                carbon dioxide. The only sugar (called acrose) as yet                produced artificially belongs to this class. The                sucroses, or cane sugars, are doubled glucose                anhydrides of the formula {C12H22O11}. They are usually                not fermentable as such (cf. {Sucrose}), and they act                on polarized light.          2. By extension, anything resembling sugar in taste or             appearance; as, sugar of lead (lead acetate), a poisonous             white crystalline substance having a sweet taste.          3. Compliment or flattery used to disguise or render             acceptable something obnoxious; honeyed or soothing words.             [Colloq.]          {Acorn sugar}.

The only sugar (called acrose) as yet                produced artificially belongs to this class. The                sucroses, or cane sugars, are doubled glucose                anhydrides of the formula {C12H22O11}. They are usually                not fermentable as such (cf. {Sucrose}), and they act                on polarized light.          2. By extension, anything resembling sugar in taste or             appearance; as, sugar of lead (lead acetate), a poisonous             white crystalline substance having a sweet taste.          3. Compliment or flattery used to disguise or render             acceptable something obnoxious; honeyed or soothing words.             [Colloq.]          {Acorn sugar}. See {Quercite}.          {Cane sugar}, sugar made from the sugar cane; sucrose, or an             isomeric sugar. See {Sucrose}.          {Diabetes}, [or] {Diabetic}, {sugar} (Med.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
sacred adj.   Reserved for the exclusive use of something (an    extension of the standard meaning).   Often means that anyone may    look at the sacred object, but clobbering it will screw whatever it    is sacred to.   The comment "Register 7 is sacred to the interrupt    handler" appearing in a program would be interpreted by a hacker to    mean that if any _other_ part of the program changes the contents of    register 7, dire consequences are likely to ensue.

security through obscurity   (alt. `security by obscurity') A    term applied by hackers to most OS vendors' favorite way of coping    with security holes -- namely, ignoring them, documenting neither    any known holes nor the underlying security algorithms, trusting    that nobody will find out about them and that people who do find out    about them won't exploit them.   This "strategy" never works for long    and occasionally sets the world up for debacles like the {RTM} worm    of 1988 (see {Great Worm}), but once the brief moments of panic    created by such events subside most vendors are all too willing to    turn over and go back to sleep.   After all, actually fixing the bugs    would siphon off the resources needed to implement the next    user-interface frill on marketing's wish list -- and besides, if    they started fixing security bugs customers might begin to _expect_    it and imagine that their warranties of merchantability gave them    some sort of _right_ to a system with fewer holes in it than a    shotgunned Swiss cheese, and _then_ where would we be?          Historical note: There are conflicting stories about the origin of    this term.   It has been claimed that it was first used in the    Usenet newsgroup in comp.sys.apollo during a campaign to get    HP/Apollo to fix security problems in its Unix-{clone}    Aegis/DomainOS (they didn't change a thing).   {ITS} fans, on the    other hand, say it was coined years earlier in opposition to the    incredibly paranoid {Multics} people down the hall, for whom    security was everything.   In the ITS culture it referred to (1) the    fact that by the time a tourist figured out how to make trouble he'd    generally gotten over the urge to make it, because he felt part of    the community; and (2) (self-mockingly) the poor coverage of the    documentation and obscurity of many commands.   One instance of    _deliberate_ security through obscurity is recorded; the command to    allow patching the running ITS system (escape escape control-R)    echoed as $$^D.   If you actually typed alt alt ^D, that set a flag    that would prevent patching the system even if you later got it    right.

Security Administrator's Integrated Network Tool          (SAINT, originally "Security       Administrator Tool for Analyzing Networks", SATAN) A tool       written by Dan Farmer and Wietse Venema which remotely probes       systems via the {network} and stores its findings in a       {database}.   The results can be viewed with an {web browser}.       SAINT requires {Perl} 5.000 or better.          In its simplest mode, SAINT gathers as much information about       remote hosts and networks as possible by examining such       network services as {finger}, {NFS}, {NIS}, {FTP}, {TFTP},       {rexd}, and other services.   The information gathered includes       the presence of various network information services as well       as potential security flaws - usually in the form of       incorrectly setup or configured network services, well-known       {bugs} in system or network utilities, or poor or ignorant       policy decisions.   It can then either report on this data or       use a simple rule-based system to investigate any potential       security problems.   Users can then examine, query, and analyze       the output with a {web browser}.   While the program is       primarily geared toward analysing the security implications       of the results, a great deal of general network information       can be gained when using the tool - network topology, network       services running, and types of hardware and software being       used on the network.          SAINT can also be used in exploratory mode.   Based on the       initial data collection and a user configurable ruleset, it       will examine the avenues of trust and dependency and iterate       further data collection runs over secondary hosts.   This not       only allows the user to analyse his own network, but also to       examine the real implications inherent in network trust and       services and help them make reasonably educated decisions       about the security level of the systems involved.          {Home (http://www.wwdsi.com/saint/)}.          {Old SATAN page (http://www.fish.com/satan/)}.          {Mailing list (http://www.wwdsi.com/saint/list_server.html)}.          (2000-08-12)
