Lynis – open source security auditing tool for Unix/Linux systems

Lynis is an open source security auditing tool. Used by system administrators, security professionals, and auditors, to evaluate the security defenses of their Linux and Unix-based systems. It runs on the host itself, so it performs more extensive security scans than vulnerability scanners.

Supported Operating Systems: Lynis runs on almost all Unix-based systems and versions, including the following:

• AIX
• FreeBSD
• HP-UX
• Linux
• macOS
• NetBSD
• OpenBSD
• Solaris and others

As stated in https://cisofy.com/lynis: 

"It even runs on systems like the Raspberry Pi, or QNAP storage devices."
