From buck-security.sourceforge.net<\/a><\/p>\n

Buck Security is a collection of security checks for Linux. It was designed for Debian and Ubuntu servers, but can be useful for any Linux system.<\/p>\n

The aim of Buck Security is, to allow you to get a quick overview of the security status of your system. As a linux system administrator – but also as a normal linux user – you often wonder if your system is secure. In this situation it is useful to get an overvirew of the security status of the system immediately. Buck Security was designed exactly for this. It runs important tests and returns the results to you after a couple of minutes.<\/p>\n

By now the following tests are implemented:
\nSearching for worldwriteable files
\nSearching for worldwriteable directories
\nSearching for programs where the setuid is set
\nSearching for programs where the setgid is set
\nChecking your umask
\nChecking if the sticky-bit is set for \/tmp
\nSearching for superusers
\nSearching for installed attack tools packages<\/p>\n

Upcoming Version<\/p>\n

The next version of buck-security will be released soon in March 2010.
\nIt will include major changes and new checks like<\/p>\n

generate and verifiy checksums of important programs (\/bin\/, \/sbin\/,…)
\ncheck firewall (iptables) policies
\ncheck if sshd configuration is secure<\/p>\n
