+pax-utils (security audit tools for ELF binaries)
+
+pax-utils is a small set of utilities for peforming Q/A (mostly
+security) checks on systems (most notably, scanelf). It is focused on
+the ELF format, but does include a Mach-O helper too for OS X systems.
+
+You don't need PaX to use the pax-utils. In fact, the only thing they
+really have in common is that pax-utils was initially written to aid
+in deploying PaX systems.
