> Lynis - Security auditing and hardening tool, for UNIX-based systems.
Lynis is a security auditing for UNIX derivatives like Linux, macOS, *BSD, and others. It performs an **in-depth security scan** and runs on the system itself. The primary goal is to test security defenses and **provide tips for further system hardening**. It will also scan for general system information, vulnerable software packages, and possible configuration issues. Lynis is commonly used by people in the "blue team" to assess the security defenses of their systems.
