About:
Lynis is an auditing tool for Unix (specialists). It scans systems to detect software and security issues. Beside security related information, it will also scan for general system information, installed packages, and possible configuration mistakes. The software aims in assisting automated auditing, software patch management, and vulnerability and malware scanning of Unix based systems.

Release focus: Major feature enhancements

Changes:
This release adds 8 new tests (a Solaris password test, and support for AFICK, AIDE, Osiris, Samhain, Tripwire, NIS, and NIS+ authentication). PID file handling and logging are improved, some tests were slighty rewritten, and a man page check has been added when using --view-manpage.
