Cal Evans over on the Zend Developer Zone has another of his infamous (well, okay - not infamous, but definitely good) interviews with people all around the PHP community. This time, it's a chat with Ed Finkler, a developer over at CERIAS concerning the new security tool designed to help even the security-clueless to protect themselves and their system.

Intrigued as much by this project, as I was by the fact that Ed wrote me and told me it was time for me to interview him, I called Ed and we talked about the project.

They talk about where the idea for the tool came from, one of the targets for the use of the project (those on shared hosting), and the mention that it is modular in design and they are more than happy to have developers work up tests to be sure things are working 100% correctly.
