ParetoSecurity
Automatically audit your device for basic security hygiene.
Installation
Using Debian/Ubuntu/Pop!_OS/RHEL/Fedora/CentOS
See https://pkg.paretosecurity.com for install steps.
Quick Start
To run a one-time security audit:
paretosecurity check
Using Nix
Install from nixpkgs
Install CLI from nixpkgs
$ nix-env -iA nixpkgs.paretosecurity
or
$ nix profile install nixpkgs#paretosecurity
Install on NixOS
Install NixOS module
Add this to your NixOS configuration:
{
services.paretosecurity.enable = true;
}
This will install the agent and its root helper so you don't need sudo to run it.
Install CLI only in NixOS via nixpkgs
Add this to your NixOS configuration:
{ pkgs, ... }: {
environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.paretosecurity ];
}
Run checks
$ paretosecurity check
This will analyze your system and provide a security report highlighting potential improvements and vulnerabilities.
If you did not install the root helper, you need to run it with sudo:
$ sudo paretosecurity check
Install via nix-channel
As root run:
$ sudo nix-channel --add https://github.com/ParetoSecurity/agent/archive/main.tar.gz paretosecurity
$ sudo nix-channel --update
Install CLI via nix-channel
To install the paretosecurity binary:
{
environment.systemPackages = [ (pkgs.callPackage {}) ];
}
Run checks
paretosecurity check
This will analyze your system and provide a security report highlighting potential improvements and vulnerabilities.
Install via Flakes
Install CLI via Flakes
Using NixOS module (replace system "x86_64-linux" with your system):
{
environment.systemPackages = [ paretosecurity.packages.x86_64-linux.default ];
}
e.g. inside your flake.nix file:
{
inputs.paretosecurity.url = "github:paretosecurity/agent";
# ...
outputs = { self, nixpkgs, paretosecurity }: {
# change `yourhostname` to your actual hostname
nixosConfigurations.yourhostname = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
system = "x86_64-linux";
modules = [
# ...
{
environment.systemPackages = [ paretosecurity.packages.${system}.default ];
}
];
};
};
}
Run checks
paretosecurity check
This will analyze your system and provide a security report highlighting potential improvements and vulnerabilities.
