Lynis – Security Auditing Tool for Linux, MacOS, and Unix-Based Systems
On this note, i wonder if automated tools like this will become more commonplace. I know next to knowing about security[1], but i'd love for there to be some sort of self-updating simple service i can run that constantly updates and checks my router, home servers, IoT devices, all ports, etc. for known exploits.<p>Surely a lot of this stuff can be automated. The simpler the tool the better - a single binary would be great. Is this a pipe dream?<p><i>edit</i>: I feel like part of the problem would be shipping all the exploits. Legal matters aside, it would at the very least mean having to code exploits for thousands/millions of things. Though, perhaps a pluggable/linkable framework for this security could be a sort of proof of work. Ie, whitehats could publish the exploits by writing the plugin.<p><i>edit2</i>: I'm aware that this tool is <i>sort</i> of what i'm talking about, but this mainly focuses on a single unix machine, right? Nor does it support windows. I wonder why we can't just make this ultimately simple? Ie, single binary?<p>[1]: Well, i know enough to know how little i know.. which is nearly nothing heh.
