0x01 安装

直接查看其操作手册:安装

0x02 试用

进入lynis的目录，输入./lynis即可

我们一般试用./lynis audit system来进行对系统的全盘扫描，这种扫描方式会产生一系列人机交互，无法自动化扫描。

故我们在其后加上参数-Q即快速扫描，从而自动化扫描。

以下是常用的lynis的参数：

Parameter	Abbreviated	Description
--auditor "Given name Surname"		配发审计人员的名字
--checkall	-c	开始检查
--check-update		更新
--cronjob		计划任务 (includes -c -Q)
--help	-h	帮助
--manpage		用户手册
--nocolors		无配色
--pentest		低权限渗透测试扫描
--quick	-Q	自动模式
--quiet		静默且自动模式
--reverse-colors		浅色背景配色模式
--version	-V	版本号

如果要进行深层次的检查的话，可能需要让lynis处于root权限运行，那么我们只要

sudo cp -R /path/to/lynis /usr/local/lynis

即可将lynis置于root权限中，如此一来就可以进行深层次的检查了。

0x03 审计报告&日志

lynis将会进行深层次的审计，并将报告呈现在标准输出、日志文件以及审计报告文件中。

标准输出

我们执行lynis时将会在屏幕上打印出本次审计的结果，测试的结果包括[OK or WARNING] [Found or Not Found] [Value]。如下图：

日志文件

扫描完毕后我们会生成一个日志文件以及一个扫描报告。日志文件中对比标准输出，会有更多的信息，这些信息适用于更深层次的检查。

日志里会有事件操作的执行时间，测试失败或跳过的原因，内部测试的输出，对于配置选项不恰当该如何修改的建议，威胁指数。

我们对该文件进行输出，查看其中的告警（WARNING）以及建议（SUGGESTION）

审计报告

执行审计程序之后，lynis会对其发现进行收集并获得其他数据点，数据会被存储在报告文件中。不过这个文件读起来比较吃力，采用的是 数据名=值 的方式，要是一个数据有多个值，则在其后加个[]。如下图：

若是使用lynis企业版，可以产生更多的报告格式。

0x04 配置文件

我们可以针对不同的操作系统、系统定位以及安全等级定制不同的配置文件。如果不通过--profile来指定配置文件的话，就会使用默认的配置文件default.prf。我们可以通过修改这个默认配置文件来满足我们的需求。

0x05 插件

正常lynis控制器进行独立测试并共享输出时，插件会获取信息。随后信息会被收集和处理，随后安全智能能够适用于数据收集并与中心节点相关联。

lynis能够使用插件模块化支持拓展其功能。

阶段1：

阶段1是插件初始化，该插件能hook进已有的测试，收集信息。

阶段2：

测试结束后，插件能够获取最后一次机会去完成其工作。插件也能独立使用，仅仅在阶段1执行。

启用插件

在profile里启用插件，plugin=<plugin_name>

0x06 Lynis企业版

需要购买Key。用了企业版之后可以拥有其他功能了，如插件功能，中心系统功能，定制报告功能以及安全面板功能。其用户界面是基于web的。

0x07 优劣

优势

1. 开源
2. 多平台
3. 能够产生告警和建议
4. 整合大量审计模块，对操作系统进行多样化审计
5. 支持模块，可以进行自定义扫描
6. 企业版有web界面

劣势

1. 每个审计项都不深入，需要具体的扩展
2. 许多功能需要使用企业版，收费暂时无法体验
