ThornSec

Not orgsec. Not infosec. Not opsec. Hopefully just a small thorn in the side of your adversaries.

Problem: "I hunt sysadmins" - https://theintercept.com/2014/03/20/inside-nsa-secret-efforts-hunt-hack-system-administrators/

Solution: "Sysadmins of the world unite!" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzhtGvSflEk

@ThornSec - https://twitter.com/ThornSec

Primary Platform Goals

  1. help systems and networks be more secure than default;
  2. complete operational transparency;
  3. facilitate cooperation amongst sysadmins;
  4. minimal pre-requisites;
  5. avenue for learning with others.

Next Steps

Explore more of the rationale behind ThornSec.

Learn how to use the system to conduct audits and to configure systems automatically.

Want to contribute?

  1. What command should a sysadmin run to check if there is an issue?
  2. What should the ouput of that command be if the test is passed or failed?
  3. Bonus points: what command should a sysadmin run to resolve the issue?

If you can answer the first 2 questions then get in touch or write the appropriate test for inclusion into the codebase. If you can answer question 3 thats even better!
