Description : Bastille Linux is a well tested hardening script for
*nix
The Bastille Hardening program "locks down" an operating system,
proactively configuring the system for increased security and decreasing
its susceptibility to compromise. Bastille can also assess a system's
current state of hardening, granularly reporting on each of the security
settings with which it works.
Bastille currently supports the Red Hat (Fedora Core, Enterprise, and
Numbered/Classic), SUSE, Debian, Gentoo, and Mandrake distributions,
along with HP-UX. It also supports Mac OS X. Bastille's focuses on
letting the system's user/administrator choose exactly how to harden the
operating system. In its default hardening mode, it interactively asks
the user questions, explains the topics of those questions, and builds a
policy based on the user's answers. It then applies the policy to the
system. In its assessment mode, it builds a report intended to teach the
user about available security settings as well as inform the user as to
which settings have been tightened.

(Note: use a version of TCL slightly older than what is in Debian7,
there was some incompatable update of TCL it seems some time within
the Debian7 release (bastille worked fine in early versions, and
previous
to that in the testing release of Deb7 just before stable, but in late
versions of Debian 7 it cannot save its config files because TCL
DEEEPPPRREEECIAAATTEEDDDDDDDD!!!! (High Pitched Lennart Chortle) decades
working code (even though all TCL scripts are ancient))
(Also note: There is a section of the code in 2 files where the distro
is handled, Debian is handled there, perhaps add Devuan (as evrything
will be the same) to the list aswell)
