Anybody know a good OS X app to scan the file system for suid binaries? I guess I could do this with find from the shell, but a little utility app with a nice ui (and possibily some integration with a database to hide or categorize by threat level) seems like a smart thing to have on my system and run every so often.

I wanted to do the same thing earlier today and found out this that might help. I know that you ask for a gui but just in case:

Yeah, I guess that's probably good enough. I knew I could do this but was sort of thinking it would be nice to have a little dedicated tool that filters out or separates all the "known should be suid" -- and maybe tracks changes over time ... An interface to check periodically to quickly keep abreast of what's changing ...
