Audit based on STIG v2r8 01 Jul 2026
Ability to audit a system using a lightweight binary to check the current state.
This is:
- very small < 14MB
- lightweight
- self-contained
It works using a set of configuration files and directories to audit STIG of RHEL/CentOS 8 servers. These files/directories correlate to the STIG Level and STIG_ID
Tested on
- RHEL8
- CentOS8
- Rocky8
- Alma-Linux 8
Feedback on any differences between OSs please raise an issue
You must have goss available to your host you would like to test.
You must have sudo/root access to the system as some commands require privilege information.
Assuming you have already cloned this repository you can run goss from where you wish.
Please refer to the audit documentation for usage.
This also works alongside the Ansible Lockdown RHEL8-STIG role
Which will:
- install
- audit
- remediate
- audit
