[EdLUG] Open source Security application - Lynis

[Mark Cairney]

Hi,

We're using rkhunter <http://rkhunter.sourceforge.net/> on some of our
boxes and I've also used chkrootkit <http://www.chkrootkit.org/> in the
past.
It does look like there are more modern/more actively developed
alternatives nowadays so I'll have to investigate however both of these
are well-known and tried-and-tested.

Kind regards,
Mark
