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