+Checks for backups and swap files of common content management system
+and web server configuration files.
+
+When web server files are edited in place, the text editor can leave
+backup or swap files in a place where the web server can serve them. The
+script checks for these files:
+
+* <code>wp-config.php</code>: WordPress
+* <code>config.php</code>: phpBB, ExpressionEngine
+* <code>configuration.php</code>: Joomla
+* <code>LocalSettings.php</code>: MediaWiki
+* <code>/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php</code>: MediaWiki
+* <code>mt-config.cgi</code>: Movable Type
+* <code>mt-static/mt-config.cgi</code>: Movable Type
+* <code>settings.php</code>: Drupal
+* <code>.htaccess</code>: Apache
+
+And for each of these file applies the following transformations (using
+<code>config.php</code> as an example):
+
+* <code>config.bak</code>: Generic backup.
+* <code>config.php.bak</code>: Generic backup.
+* <code>config.php~</code>: Vim, Gedit.
+* <code>#config.php#</code>: Emacs.
+* <code>config copy.php</code>: Mac OS copy.
+* <code>Copy of config.php</code>: Windows copy.
+* <code>config.php.save</code>: GNU Nano.
+* <code>.config.php.swp</code>: Vim swap.
+* <code>config.php.swp</code>: Vim swap.
+* <code>config.php.old</code>: Generic backup.
+
+This script is inspired by the CMSploit program by Feross Aboukhadijeh:
