Did you know RHEL comes with a built in security/vulnerability scanner? Here is the commands for RHEL7 as an example:

  1. Install OpenSCAP : yum install openscap openscap-scanner

  2. Download the OpenSCAP datastream file : wget -c https://www.redhat.com/security/data/metrics/ds/com.redhat.rhsa-RHEL7.ds.xml

  3. Run OpenSCAP command to scan : sudo oscap xccdf eval --results results.xml --report report.html com.redhat.rhsa-RHEL7.ds.xml

  4. Review scanner report : firefox report.html
