Categories and Groups
|
|
|
|
---------------------
|
2016-08-09 15:23:29 +02:00
|
|
|
Tests are now grouped by their focus area and named 'groups' accordingly.
|
|
|
|
Besides groups, each test will belong to a category (performance, privacy, or
|
|
|
|
security).
|
2016-07-24 17:55:08 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Commands: lynis show categories, lynis show groups
|
|
|
|
Options: --tests-from-category, --tests-from-group
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note: You might need to change your scripts if you previously defined the group
|
|
|
|
of tests to scan.

|
|
A new 'strict' option is available in the profiles and by default enabled for
|
|
|
|
the initialization phases of Lynis. It will perform a strict code check for the
|
|
|
|
tests, to detect any uninitialized variables, improving code quality.

Upgrade tips

============

2016-07-13 13:48:14 +02:00
|
|
|
Default profile and custom profiles:
|
|
|
|
Settings of multiple profiles can now be merged. Instead of making changes to
|
|
|
|
default.prf, copy your changes to custom.prf. Use 'lynis show profiles' to show
|
|
|
|
any detected profiles. Only include your changes in custom.prf, to keep the
|
|
|
|
configuration clean and tidy. They will then overwrite the defaults. Use
|
|
|
|
'lynis show settings' to see if they are applied.
|

|
|
|
|
2016-07-13 13:48:14 +02:00
|
|
|
Check your cron jobs:
|
|
|
|
When using --quiet, the output will be really quiet now. Use --show-warnings-only
|
|
|
|
if you still want to see the warnings. Lynis will now exit with error 0, even
|
|
|
|
when warnings have been found. Use option error-on-warnings=yes (custom.prf) to
|
|
|
|
exit with code 78 when it has any warnings.

Developer Mode
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
2016-04-27 16:51:25 +02:00
|
|
|
With this release the developer mode is introduced. It can be activated with the
|
|
|
|
--developer option, or developer-mode=yes in profile. In development mode, some
|
|
|
|
details are displayed on screen, to help testing of existing or new tests.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To get easy access, a new profile has been added (developer.prf).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
lynis audit system --profile developer.prf
|
|
|
|
lynis audit system --developer
|
|
|
|
|
2016-05-14 16:17:19 +02:00
|
|
|
A new software development kit (SDK) for Lynis is available on GitHub. This will
|
|
|
|
help contributors and developers to test software quality, including linting and
|
|
|
|
running unit tests. The devkit also supports building DEB and RPM files for easy
|
|
|
|
deployment. The repository can be found on https://github.com/CISOfy/lynis-sdk

Documentation
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
2016-03-24 10:43:44 +01:00
|
|
|
Template files have been updated to provide better examples on how to create
|
|
|
|
custom tests and plugins.
|
|
|
|
|
2016-05-15 20:37:24 +02:00
|
|
|
To simplify the usage of Lynis, a new helper utility has been added: show.
|
2016-04-15 20:07:33 +02:00
|
|
|
This helper will show help, or values (e.g. version, plugin directories, etc).
|
|
|
|
Some examples include: lynis show options, lynis show commands, lynis show
|
|
|
|
version, etc. See lynis show for all available details.

|
|
|
------------
|
2016-05-12 06:24:45 +02:00
|
|
|
The XFS file system detection has been added. Mount points /dev/shm and /var/tmp
|
|
|
|
are now checked for their options. Comparison of the mount options has been
|
|
|
|
improved. A new test has been added to check if /var/tmp has been bound to /tmp.
|
|

|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|

|
2016-07-13 13:48:14 +02:00
|
|
|
Initial languages: Dutch (nl), English (en), French (fr).
|
2016-06-11 14:35:10 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2016-07-13 13:48:14 +02:00

Packages
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Systems running CentOS, Debian, openSUSE, RHEL, Ubuntu and others, may now use
|
|
|
|
our own software repository: https://packages.cisofy.com
|
|
|
|
|

|
Performance
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
2016-05-03 14:57:53 +02:00
|
|
|
Several performance improvements have been implemented. This includes rewriting
|
|
|
|
tests to invoke less commands and enhanced hardware detection at the beginning.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-05-14 16:17:19 +02:00

|
|
Plugins
|
|
|
|
-------
|
2016-04-15 20:07:33 +02:00
|
|
|
You can set the plugin directory now also via a profile. First match wins.
|
|
|
|
Priority: 1) argument, 2) profile, 3) default
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--plugindir is now an alias for --plugin-dir
|
|
|
|
|
2016-05-12 06:24:45 +02:00
|
|
|
|

|
|
Profiles
|
|
|
|
--------
|
2016-04-15 20:07:33 +02:00
|
|
|
Lynis now support multiple profiles. By using a file 'custom.prf', it allows to
|
|
|
|
inherit values first from default.prf, then merge it with custom.prf.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Several tests have been altered to support multiple profiles.
|
|
|
|
|
2016-05-04 22:03:07 +02:00
|
|
|
New profile options:
|
|
|
|
quick=yes|no (similar to --quick)
|
|
|
|
developer (see Developer section)
|
|
|
|
check-value
|
|
|
|
|
2016-04-19 12:39:23 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2016-05-14 16:17:19 +02:00
|
|
|
Remote scanning
|
|
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Although Lynis is a aimed on running on local hosts, there is still an ongoing
|
|
|
|
demand for running remote scans. With 'lynis audit system remote' tips are now
|
|
|
|
provides to perform such a scan via SSH.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-05-30 19:46:58 +02:00
|
|
|
Software
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Zypper calls are now marked with a non-interactive flag to prevent it waiting for
|
|
|
|
any interactive input.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-07-05 12:20:22 +02:00
|
|
|
Solaris
|
|
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Improve execution for Solaris systems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-05-14 16:17:19 +02:00
|
|
|
SSH
|
|
|
|
---
|
2016-04-19 12:39:23 +02:00
|
|
|
The configuration of SSH is now parsed from the SSH daemon directly. This enables
|
|
|
|
handling with new defaults more easily, as OpenSSH sometimes introduces new keys,
|
|
|
|
or change their default value between versions.
|
|
|
|
|
2016-05-12 06:24:45 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2016-05-14 16:17:19 +02:00
|
|
|
Systemd
|
|
|
|
-------
|
2016-05-12 06:24:45 +02:00
|
|
|
Added support for detecting systemd and reporting it as a service manager. The
|
|
|
|
systemd plugin has been released as a community plugin.
|

|
|
|
|
-------
|
2016-04-15 20:07:33 +02:00
|
|
|
Solved a bug which added the proxy configuration twice.
|
|
|
|
|

General Improvements
|
2016-05-14 16:17:19 +02:00
|
|
|
--------------------
|
2016-04-15 20:07:33 +02:00
|
|
|
The screen output has been improved, to show more meaningful things when some
|
|
|
|
parameters are missing. Several old variables and lines have been cleaned up.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Display function now allows the --debug flag. This helps in showing some
|
|
|
|
lines on screen, which would normally be hidden (e.g. items not found or
|
|
|
|
matched).
|
|
|
|
|
2016-04-19 21:12:54 +02:00
|
|
|
Logging has been improved in different areas, like cleaning up and add more
|
|
|
|
relevant messages where needed.
|
|
|
|
|
2016-04-21 11:45:59 +02:00
|
|
|
The interface colors have been changed, to make it more obvious how the software
|
|
|
|
can be used. Also the wait line between categories have been altered, to properly
|
|
|
|
display on systems with a white background.
|
|
|
|
|
2016-04-26 21:27:58 +02:00
|
|
|
When no auditor name has been specified, it will say that instead of unknown.
|
|
|
|
|
2016-05-02 15:06:54 +02:00
|
|
|
Functions file has been cleaned up, including adding developer debug information
|
|
|
|
when old functions are still be used. Later on these functions will be deleted,
|
|
|
|
and therefore placed at the bottom.

Lynis 2.2.0 (2016-03-18)
|
2015-12-22 16:56:15 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We are proud to present this new release of Lynis. It is a major upgrade, and the
|
|
|
|
result of many months of work. This version includes new features and tests, and
|
2016-03-17 13:35:55 +01:00
|
|
|
many small enhancements. We encourage all to test and upgrade to this latest
|
|
|
|
release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Highlights
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The biggest change in this release is the optimization of several functions. It
|
|
|
|
allows for better detection, and dealing with the quirks, of every single
|
2016-03-17 13:43:42 +01:00
|
|
|
operating system. Some functions were fortified to handle unexcepted results
|
|
|
|
better, like missing a particular binary, or not returning the hostname.
|
2016-03-17 13:35:55 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2016-03-17 13:43:42 +01:00
|
|
|
This release also enables tests to be shorter, by adding new functions. Some
|
2016-03-17 13:35:55 +01:00
|
|
|
functions were renamed or slightly changed, to provide more value to the tooling.
|
|
|
|
Another big change in this release is a wide set of optimizations and quality
|
|
|
|
testing. Outdated pieces were removed, or rewritten, to support features seen in
|
|
|
|
newer distributions.
|
|
|
|
|
2016-03-17 13:43:42 +01:00
|
|
|
In the area of compliance, adjustments have been made to start supporting more
|
2016-03-17 13:35:55 +01:00
|
|
|
in-depth testing for this. Ideal for companies who have a particular compliance
|
2016-03-17 13:43:42 +01:00
|
|
|
need, or want to test and enforce the system hardening levels of their systems.
|
2016-03-17 13:35:55 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Last but not least, many small changes make this software easier to use. On
|
|
|
|
our website we added new guides to provide help and support.
|
|
|
|
|
2016-03-17 13:43:42 +01:00
|
|
|
We like to thank our contributors, in particular Kamil Boratyński, Steve Bosek,
|
|
|
|
and Eric Light. Their contributions helped us greatly shaping this release.

|
|
|
----------------
|
2016-01-25 13:43:21 +01:00
|
|
|
Depending on the operating system, Lynis now tries to determine if failed logins
|
|
|
|
are properly logged. This includes checking for /etc/login.defs file [AUTH-9408].
|
|
|
|
Merged previous password check for Solaris into test AUTH-9228. User ids on AIX
|
|
|
|
will be gathered and added to the report [AUTH-9234].

|
|
* Compliance
|
|
|
|
------------
|
2016-01-25 13:43:21 +01:00
|
|
|
This release prepares for upcoming extensions to assist with compliance testing.
|
|
|
|
The profile has a new option, which can be used to define what standards should
|
|
|
|
be tested for, if any test is available. The related option is:
|
|
|
|
compliance_standards
|
2015-12-22 16:56:15 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Right now these standards can be selected:
|
|
|
|
- CIS benchmarks
|
|
|
|
- HIPAA
|
|
|
|
- ISO27001/ISO27002
|
|
|
|
- PCI DSS
|
|
|
|
|
2016-01-25 13:43:21 +01:00
|
|
|
Note that additional tests will be implemented in future releases and then tagged
|
|
|
|
to these particular standards.
|
|
|
|
|
2015-12-22 16:56:15 +01:00
|
|
|
* DNS and Name services
|
|
|
|
-----------------------
|
2016-03-17 13:35:55 +01:00
|
|
|
Support added for Unbound DNS caching tool [NAME-4034], including a configuration
|
|
|
|
check [NAME-4036].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Record if a name caching utility is being used like nscd or Unbound. Also logging
|
|
|
|
to report as field name_cache_used
|
2015-12-22 16:56:15 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Firewalls
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
2015-12-30 14:34:44 +01:00
|
|
|
Test for IPFW firewall on FreeBSD has been improved: status of pflogd will no
|
|
|
|
longer be displayed, when pf is not available.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New test FIRE-4532 introduced for detection of the Mac OS X application firewall.
|
2016-03-17 13:43:42 +01:00
|
|
|
Also, the status of application firewalls is audited now.
|
2015-12-30 14:34:44 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
FIRE-4508 is another new test, which tests chains of iptables and their default
|
|
|
|
policy (ACCEPT or DROP). This release also supports the upcoming nftables
|
|
|
|
technology with new test FIRE-4536. It is expected that it will replace iptables
|
|
|
|
later on, so this test will perform a status check. Additional FIRE-4548 will
|
|
|
|
perform a version detection of the userland utility nft and determine if there
|
|
|
|
are any rules configured.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Renamed FIRE-4511 to FIRE-4502.

a lot of testing on different platforms. You could expect this software to be
|
|
|

stable. Still, an assumption is no guarantee and especially no substitution
|
|
|
|
for testing in your own environment. If you encounter issues, please report
|
|
|
|
them via one of the links above in this changelog.
