概要
Security and system auditing tool to harden systems
履歴
Lynis is an open source Unix-like system security auditing and hardening tool. It gathers security information, runs checks, and reports warnings and suggestions for administrators, auditors, security specialists, and system maintainers.
The official README traces Lynis development to May 2007, with Michael Boelen as author from 2007 to 2013 and CISOfy carrying development from 2013 onward. The project is GPLv3-licensed, written as shell scripts, and maintained at CISOfy with public development on GitHub.
Lynis was designed to run directly from an unpacked directory as well as from installed packages. Its README and documentation emphasize broad Unix coverage rather than one distribution: Linux, BSD variants, macOS, Solaris, AIX, and related Unix-like systems are all part of the supported-audit story.
The changelog shows ongoing maintenance into the 2020s, with releases adding OS detection, end-of-life databases, malware and file-integrity checks, macOS checks, package-manager checks, and many platform-specific hardening tests.
Lynis has unusually broad packaging for a security-audit shell tool. The batch package metadata lists Alpine, Homebrew, Debian, Fedora/DNF, MacPorts, Nix, Arch, Ubuntu, and openSUSE/Zypper, while the upstream docs also mention CISOfy package repositories and custom RPM package building.
CISOfy built a commercial ecosystem around the open source tool through Lynis Enterprise, using Lynis scans as the local audit engine while adding centralized reporting, monitoring, compliance features, dashboards, and support. That commercial/open-source split helped keep Lynis relevant both as a package-manager tool and as a managed audit component.
The common interactive workflow is `lynis audit system`, often run as root for a full audit. The documentation also covers quick or quiet scans, cron jobs, update checks, viewing profiles and settings, and reading `/var/log/lynis.log` after a scan to interpret findings.
Lynis uses profiles as its configuration model. The FAQ says profiles are usually stored in `/etc/lynis` or discoverable with `lynis show profiles`; the default profile warns users to put local changes in `custom.prf` beside `default.prf` rather than editing the default file.
Lynis matters to package people because it is both a packaged security utility and a package-system inspector. Its checks know about APT/dpkg, RPM/YUM, pacman, zypper, apk, Homebrew, and other platform details, so keeping it current means tracking operating-system churn, package-manager behavior, and hardening expectations across many Unix-like systems.
