GETTING STARTED

Introduction

LinSentry is a lightweight security hardening auditor. As of v1.0.0 it performs a comprehensive set of checks across system posture — port exposure, SSH, file permissions, user accounts, sudo privileges, firewall, pending updates, AppArmor, and malware scanner presence — on Linux including Ubuntu through WSL. macOS and Windows support are planned via a Rust rewrite.

Why LinSentry exists

Automated attacks look for exposed services, weak SSH settings, loose file permissions, and risky accounts. LinSentry automates checks for these common misconfigurations.

Roadmap

The original 10-check roadmap is complete as of v1.0.0. The next major step is a cross-platform Rust rewrite planned for Linux, macOS, Windows, and Termux.
