Security_growler.app.zip or Security Growler.app.zip are the frequent file names to indicate this app's installer.

From the developer:
A Mac menubar app that notifies you whenever security events like ssh, ftp, vnc, or sudo auth, occur on your machine.
This menubar app for OS X will notify you via Notification Center (or Growl) when various security events occur (see list).
It's very useful if you're paranoid about people trying to hack into your computer. Or... if you simply like having information about people using your computer's resources.
You may want to check out more Mac applications, such as Growl, Internet Security & Antivirus or F-Secure Key, which might be similar to Security Growler.
