Download and run a security audit utility NOTE: Due to the package being very out of date, we replaced Bastille with Lynis Choose a holding directory Lynis does not require isntallation, it runs from whatever location it exists in: mkdir /usr/local/lynis cd /usr/local/lynis Download Lynis: wget https://www.rootkit.nl/files/lynis-1.3.0.tar.gz tar -xvf lynis-1.3.0.tar.gz Running Lynis: cd lynis-1.3.0 ./lynis Processing: Run witout options to print isntructions. To begin audit of entire system, run: ./lynis -c -Q Note: the -Q option can be used to skip all "Press Enter to continue" prompts. Audit will run over time and display results to terminal.
