Lynis on a Mac

Host security auditing & hardening for Unix/Linux/macOS (self-hosted CLI) · Secrets Scanning & Supply Chain Security

Lynis (CISOfy) is an agentless security-auditing tool for Unix-like systems; run it on a host (or over SSH) to audit configuration, accounts, services, firewall, SSH, kernel and file permissions, then get a hardening index with concrete suggestions and warnings. brew install lynis, then sudo lynis audit system. Open source; handy for hardening and compliance snapshots on this Mac or any server you administer.
