GETTING STARTED

Usage

Run LinSentry from the script directory. It prints a section-by-section report as it examines each area of system posture.

$ ./linsentry.sh

The report

As LinSentry runs, it steps through each security check in turn. Each section reports what it found — a passing state, a warning, or a finding that needs your attention. When a check detects a correctable issue, it explains the risk and asks for y/n confirmation before modifying anything.

At the end of a full run, the overall risk summary tallies every warning into a final verdict: Excellent (0 warnings), Good (1–2 warnings), or Needs Attention (3+ warnings).

Interactive changes

When LinSentry finds a correctable issue, it asks for y/n confirmation before it modifies anything. Changes are never made silently.
