Thanks! ## Our guestbook * YOUR NAME AND STORY * Michael Boelen - September 2019 The development of Lynis learned me a lot about Linux and Unix security. It is installed on all my systems to uncover unexpected configuration issues. The valuable feedback and contributions give me the energy to continue to work on its development, even after 12+ years! * Catalyst.net IT - January 2020 Lynis gave us great insight in to the security state of our systems, as well as where we can improve. * David Osipov - October 2021 Lynis opened my eyes on Linux security hardening best practices. As a newbie, I learn a lot about Linux system architecture while trying to harden my system.
