It even runs on Raspberry Pi or QNAP devices.
Optional installation
Lynis is lightweight and easy to use. The installation is optional: just copy it to a system and use the "./lynis audit system" command to start the security scan.
It is written in script shell και κυκλοφορεί ως λογισμικό ανοιχτού κώδικα ( gpl ). Πακέτα λογισμικού είναι διαθέσιμα από το αποθετήριο του project.

Steps
- Identify the operating system
- Search for available tools and utilities
- Check for Lynis updates
- Perform tests with enabled plugins
- Perform safety tests by category
- Report the status of the security scan
