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.
