Mastering Linux Security and Hardening - Second Edition

Getting the missing profiles for Ubuntu 18.04 and CentOS 8

So, Ubuntu 18.04 and CentOS 8 don't come with their own OpenSCAP profiles. Is all hope lost? Absolutely not. It turns out that when you install the scap-security-guide package on a Fedora 31 machine, you get profiles for both of these two distros. For your convenience, I've included these profiles in the code archive file that you can download from the Packt Publishing website. Once you download this file and extract it, just go into the Chapter_11 directory and copy the files over to the appropriate location on your own VMs.

If you prefer, you can also download the Ubuntu 18.04 profiles from GitHub. Here's the link: https://github.com/ComplianceAsCode/content/tree/master/ubuntu1804/profiles ...
