Getting started

Pre-Requirements

You won't need so much, since lynis is completely written in bash with no dependencies. However, it is a good idea to have the following programs installed along with bash:

  • curl and wget
  • openssl

Download and extract to a local directory

curl -s -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/centriascolocation/lynis/2.7.5/get-lynis-latest.sh | bash

The first tests

Assume you've successfully downloaded the latest version:


  cd lynis
  ./lynis audit system --auditor "Michael Krieg <michael@centrias.de>" --pentest

Hint: you could omit the "--pentest" option for a full-privileged audit!
