RE: Linux Hardening

Below is the exact error that I got when I ran Bastille on FC7 and RHEL5.



[root@localhost ~]# InteractiveBastille

The tool is still being actively developed and supported. 3.09 is indeed the latest verion (found here: http://bastille-linux.sourceforge.net/index.html)
Can you give a little bit more info about how this isn't working on later versions of Linux? (like an error message, etc)

Hi,


I was looking for a Linux hardening tool. I found Bastille. The latest = version that I was able to find is 3.09. I cannot seem to get this = version to work on later versions of Linux (RHEL 5, FC 6,7) = distributions.


Is this tool still being supported? Is there a similar tool out there?


Thanks in advance,

JP
