Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

Lynis is an auditing and hardening tool for Unix/Linux and you might even call it a compliance tool. It scans the system and installed software. Then it performs many individual security control checks. It determines the hardening state of the machine, detects security issues and provides suggestions to improve the security defense of the system.
