Sectool is versatile security software that can function as both a security audit and an intrusion detection system.
The tests are grouped and classified into different security levels, making it easy for administrators to run selected tests, groups, or the entire security levels. Sectool offers both command line and GUI versions of the client, which means it is accessible to everyone, regardless of their expertise level.
To get started with Sectool, simply navigate to the src directory and execute the sectool.py or sectool-gui.py script, depending on the version you prefer. For instance, to run the command line version of the sectool, input the following command in your command prompt:
cd src
./sectool.py --config=../sectool.conf
Alternatively, to run the GUI version of Sectool, input the following command:
cd src
./sectool-gui.py
Sectool comes with a host of new features in this release, including the ability to print messages in real-time, not after the test finishes, a reworked tui, new tests for TCP_wrappers and routing, and the adjustment of exec-shield to Fedora9.
In conclusion, Sectool is an excellent software that everyone should have to ensure system security. With easy to use features and powerful tests, Sectool is definitely one of the best security software out there.
