  • Patent number: 11163890
    Abstract: A self-targeting method of automated cybersecurity analysis on an operating system on a target computer. An analysis software executable defined by a core engine executable is provided to the target computer and run on the operating system shell. The analysis software executable identifies the specific operating system that is running on the target computer and then causes one or a plurality of bash scripts which correspond to the identified operating system and which have been parsed from security setting entries from a standardized guide for desired security settings. The bash scripts then automatically assess the compliance of various aspects of the target computer system with the security setting entries, generating an output that is compatible with existing viewers for entries of standardized guides.
