Basset Advanced System Security Evaluation Tool
(it's recursive)
(it's also small, fast, and thorough)
Basset provides standard security and consistency checks on UNIX and
Linux based systems. On a typical system, millions of individual
checks are made which can alert you to security and consistency
issues. Basset has been tested on, and delivers outstanding results
for, the following Linux operating systems on x86 or compatible
architectures:
Fedora Core 1
Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 3.0
Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1
Red Hat Linux 9.0
Red Hat Linux 8.0
Red Hat Linux 7.3
SuSE Linux 9.0
SuSE Enterprise Linux 8.0
Mandrake Linux 9.2
Mandrake Linux 7.0
Debian Linux 3.0r1
Slackware Linux 9.1
TurboLinux 7.0 Workstation
TurboLinux 6.5 Server
NOTE: Basset was designed to be as portable as possible. It is
likely to run well on ANY modern day Linux operating system
(x86 architecture only at this time).
The current version of Basset for Linux is V1.2 and can be
downloaded directly via HTTP from www.sectools.com.
The Solaris port is well underway and will be available in the very
near future (3rd quarter 2004).
NetBSD, HP-UX, and AIX ports will follow.
Custom ports of Basset are available by commission. Contact us for
details at basset-support@carolina.rr.com.
Red Hat, SuSE, Mandrake, Debian, Slackware, TurboLinux, Solaris,
NetBSD, HP-UX, and AIX and all other trademarks, service marks, or
company names are the exclusive property of the respective companies.

Thanks for the link. It's just too bad that this is a licensed product
that you have to pay for. There are many freely available tools which
are well established already which do a great job.

Dear Patrick,
Thanks for the feedback. There is much truth in what you say about
the other freely available tools. In our opinion, several of them
are fabulous, and we use them as well.
But there may have been a misconception here.
From the Basset.Linux Q&A:
The demo version is not required to be licensed for use. The demo
version is freely available and you are welcome to install and run
it, for as long as you like. In fact, you are encouraged to do so.
The demo version runs the first 32 Basset functions. These first
32 functions actually do a great job of verifying several of the
most important files on your system.
So... Basset is worth having and running, even if you never decide
to purchase a full license.
The full version of Basset is licensed for a specific machine for a
twelve month period (actually 13 months as a 30 day "grace period"
is provided). The yearly cost for a full license is $75.00 US -
which amounts to about 20 cents a day.
As of this release, the full version of Basset executes 92
functions, and on a typical system performs several million
individual checks.
Let's think about it a minute. What do (we) spend in a day?
A cup of coffee at Starbucks --------------------------] $2.25
An egg sandwich at a fast food joint ------------------] $2.79
Gas to get to work (40 miles, 20 MPG, $1.70 per gal.) -] $3.40
A pack of smokes --------------------------------------] $4.25
Sushi for lunch ---------------------------------------] $8.55
A soda (to go with the Sushi) -------------------------] $1.00
A beer after work -------------------------------------] $4.00
Three games of pool (to go with the beer) -------------] $3.00
Basset license ($75.00 per year / 365 days) -----------] $0.20
20 cents a day seems reasonable enough to us... but only you can
decide what your system security, and your time, are worth.
Regards and Good Luck,
