Download configuration extractor and analyzer
This tool has two parts:
  1. The Unix configuration extractor is a script that runs on the server to extract necessary security configurations. This script doesn't make any changes to the server other than creating the dump files

    System Requirements:
    Any computer AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, or Linux

    Download Extract Script version 4 (2007-10-21).

  2. The Unix configuration analysis tool runs on your workstation to analyze the information extrated by the script. Since most IT Security auditors use Windows® workstations, the analyzer runs on Windows®.

    System Requirements:
    Windows® XP, 2000, 2003, or Vista.® With .net® 2.0
    Please note: The program will install the .net® Framework 2.0 if not already installed.
    512MB RAM required, 1GB+ recommended.
    Mac, Solaris, Linux, and UNIX users click here to download Mono, which replaces the .net Framework for non-Windows platforms.

    Download Analyzer version 2.1 for .net® 2.0 (2008-05-17).


Instructions
  1. Download the Extract Script and Analyzer
  2. Have the system administrator of the server in question copy the extract script into a new blank directory, review and run the script (the script is a plain batch file to assure administrators that it won't harm their production servers)
  3. Note that the extraction script is designed for many flavours of Unix. As such, it produces many file not found errors as it runs. This is normal and does not indicate any problems.
  4. Install/run the analyzer tool onto a separate workstation
  5. If you encounter an error while installing a new version of the application, do the following:
    1. Click Start
    2. Click Control Panel
    3. Click Add/Remove programs
    4. Scroll Down and Click Unix Analyzer
    5. Select Remove the application from this computer and click OK
    6. Reinstall the analyzer by downloading it again
  6. once the script runs, copy the generated files to the analysis workstation. If sending to an auditor, I recommend compressing and encrypting the folder in which the script was executed.
  7. In the Analyzer, click the "Browse" button and select the directory that contains the dump files. The analysis will happen automatically.


FAQ
How does the program send optional anonymous statistic contributions?
The analyzer program sends the anonymous statistics through a 1024-bit SSL Connection. The analyzer does not send information that may identify the analyzed computer.

Can I prevent the program from sending anonymous statistics?
Yes, uncheck the checkbox beside "Compare results to common practice (sends anonymous statistics to web server)" on the Options tab. Please note, however, that disabling this option will prevent the analyzer from comparing your results to common practice.

When and why does the program access the Internet?
The program accesses the Internet three times:
  • When the program starts, it checks for updates in the background. If an update is available, the next time the program starts, it will ask you if you want to update.
  • If comparing results to common practice is enabled, anonymous statistics are sent to the web server, which will return a comparison of the analyzed results to common practice. All of these communications are encrypted through 1024-bit SSL encryption
  • After clicking "more info" beside test results, the program will download help pages from the web server into the "Help" tab.
