Lynis 1.6.1 - Version which includes a non-privileged scan (--pentest)
Lynis is a security auditing tool for the Linux, Unix and Mac
platform. Being open source and free to use, it is an accessible and
great solution to perform security scans. Within just a matter of
minutes, it displays the weaknesses in your defenses, and tips for
improving them. While Lynis was initially an auditing solution, version
1.6.1 brought a very exciting new pentest option (--pentest). It allows
to perform a non-privileged scans, so root access is not longer needed.
Great for pentesting and to determine if there are other holes to
exploit.
This tool is the result of 7 years of development and much feedback
by the community. Now it supported by the original author and his
company, development is active and regular updates are being released.
The author also stated Lynis would remain free and open source. His way
of giving back to the community and make sure nice tools do not get
behind a paywall.
