Lynis - Security auditing and hardening tool for Unix/Linux based systems
|

Lynis - Security auditing and hardening tool, for Unix based systems
|
||||
|
||||
Lynis is an security auditing and hardening tool for Unix derivatives like Linux, BSD and Solaris. It performs
|
||||
an in-depth security scan on the system to detect software and security issues. Besides information related to
|
||||
security, it will also scan for general system information, installed packages, and possible configuration
|
||||
mistakes.
|
||||
issues.
|
||||
|
||||
We believe software should be simple, updated on a regular basis and open. You should be able to trust, understand,
|
||||
and even alter the software. Many agree with us, as the software is being used by thousands every day to protect
|
||||
their systems.
|
||||
|
||||
The software is aimed at assisting with automated auditing, configuration management, software patch management,
|
||||
penetration testing, vulnerability management, and malware scanning of Unix-based systems.
|
||||
|
||||
Lynis is a great addition to the toolkit of security officers, auditors, system administrators and security
|
||||
professionals.
