Tools to check security hardening

GNU/Linux

Network Devices

  • Nipper-ng - to check the configuration of network devices (does not seem to be updated)

TLS/SSL

SSH

  • ssh-audit - SSH server auditing (banner, key exchange, encryption, mac, compression, compatibility, security, etc)

Docker

  • Docker Bench for Security - script that checks for dozens of common best-practices around deploying Docker containers in production, inspired by the CIS Docker Community Edition Benchmark v1.1.0.

Tools to apply security hardening

GNU/Linux

Windows

  • Hardentools - for Windows individual users (not corporate environments) at risk, who might want an extra level of security at the price of some usability.
  • Windows 10 Hardening - A collective resource of settings modifications (mostly opt-outs) that attempt to make Windows 10 as private and as secure as possible.
  • Hardening Auditor - Scripts for comparing Microsoft Windows compliance with the ASD 1709 & Office 2016 Hardening Guides
  • Windows 10 Initial Setup Script - PowerShell script for automation of routine tasks done after fresh installations of Windows 10 / Server 2016 / Server 2019
