buck-security is a security scanner for Linux. It was first released in June 2009[1] and was originally designed for system administrators maintaining Debian or Ubuntu servers.
The program runs some security checks, like looking for world-writable files and directories, listening services, or unwanted installed packages.[2][3] With version 0.5, a checksum feature was included that creates an encrypted list of checksums of the most important system files.[4]
buck-security claims to concentrate on only the most important checks and therefore be more usable than other security scanners like Lynis or Tiger.[4]
In April 2010, buck-security was featured on the SourceForge Blog[4] and in July 2013 it was added to the Yocto Project.[5]
