Description

This module checks whether popular system hardening mechanisms are
in place, such as SMEP, SMAP, KPTI, SELinux, PaX, grsecurity, and
Yama. It also tries to find installed applications that can be used
to hinder, prevent, or detect attacks, such as tripwire, snort,
apparmor, falco, and wazuh.

This module is meant to identify Linux Secure Modules (LSM) in addition
to various antivirus, IDS/IPS, firewalls, sandboxes and other security
related software.
