Security Tools for Super Users

lscron

lscron.sh is a tool for listing the contents of all crontabs on a Linux system. It must be run as root.

Dependencies: figlet (optional), most (pager)

NOTE: To change the pager, change the end of line 27 to less or more. You can also remove the pager altogether. I used most because it colorizes the content and makes it easier to see what's going on.

updater-advanced

updater-advanced.sh is a tool for updating and upgrading an Ubuntu system to latest LTS. Is mostly automated. Recommended to run as root or in a root shell.

proc-overview

proc-overview.sh is a script to view the following in a single pager:

• The active network processes (sudo netstat -antpu)
• The full system processes tree (sudo pstree -p)
• The systemctl status (sudo systemctl status)

tools-setup

tools-setup.sh simply installs figlet ('cause why not?), htop and nethogs. You can also just run sudo apt-get install -y figlet htop nethogs.

pam-config

IS NOT FUNCTIONAL. DO NOT USE.

pam-config.sh is a tool that auto-configures/ensures the following PAM policies:

• password [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so obscure sha512 minlen=10 remember=5
• auth required pam_tally2.so deny=4 unlock_time=1800
• account required pam_tally2.so NOTE: Any pam_tally2 policies must precede pam_unix policies!
