You can ftp the latest version (1.04) from uxc.cso.uiuc.edu in /pub.  It
knows about NeXTs and it knows to check for many security holes that
have been fixed via CERT advisories.  Get and install perl
(available in that same directory) and use the perl version that
comes in the same cops distribution, it is faster.

Also, crack is in that same directory and is quite useful if you run
a machine which lots of people use.  Compiles just fine on NeXT.
