An easy to use tool for desktop users to improve the security of their system.

It scans your Linux desktop or laptop and provide a set of suggestions.

How is it different from security scanners like Tiger?

  • Focused on desktop users rather than servers administrators
  • Provides suggestions on every aspect of security: software and hardware configuration and usage
  • Hints on risk level and work required to mitigate it

Development status

In development. Testing and contributions are welcome!

Installing

On Debian (and derivative) systems install the required dependencies:

apt-get install python-yaml python-setproctitle python-gi
