Very helpful tool to identify vulnerabilities

I love how easy it was to integrate with our other products (such as SonarQube). The integration between all of these tools allowed us to be more efficient in finding potential vulnerabilities before they were discovered by users or QA teams. Sometimes we would find new bugs but not have access to them until weeks later when someone else found them first so this helped speed up response time. We didn't start out using Lynis because we weren’t sure if it could do what we needed but after trying…

Pros
  • Simple steps are there just read me section helps you get through fastly.
Cons
  • Good but not great

I have been using this tool since 2013 in my previous job as CTO at IBM India Pvt Ltd., where we used it extensively with our main product - Tivoli Asset Manager (TAM). The user interface of LYNIS was very simple but powerful enough which made us really comfortable while working over there! We never faced any downtime or performance issue due its excellent scalability feature-wise when deployed across multiple servers/clusters within one organization's network infrastructure.- Easy…

Pros
  • User friendly GUI to execute scans, reports generation for security checkup alongwith root cause analysis details related issues found during scan execution period,
  • Even less IT savvy people can do their bit
Cons
  • Some problems

Great for vulnerability testing and auditing

The software performs an audit of all running services using several common sources so it runs quickly in comparison with other scanners which use multiple different scan techniques (such as signature checking or port scanning). All ports are reported if open but you need some manual intervention otherwise - just configure your own lists! If this includes any application servers then make sure they're up-to date too; I found my Tomcat was out-of-date from at least 10 years even though we had…

Pros
  • Simple to deploy
  • Easy configuration options for customization, including specific target groups within networks
  • Very good reporting system
Cons
  • None
