Penetration testing - Tips for system hardening

How it works

Lynis scanning is modular and opportunistic. This means it will only use and test the components that it can find, such as the available system tools and its libraries. The benefit is that no installation of other tools is needed, so you can keep your systems clean.

By using this scanning method, the tool can run with almost no dependencies. Also, the more components it discovers, the more extensive the audit will be. In other words: Lynis will always perform scans that are tailored to your system. No audit will be the same!
