STONIX is an operating system configuration hardening tool for Unix and Unix like (e.g. Linux) operating systems. This tool implements a hybrid of guidance from NSA, DISA STIGs, USGCB and the CIS. To as great of a degree as possible each guidance element for each platform is evaluated on the other platforms for applicability and applied if possible. Repository at: https://github.com/CSD-Public/stonix The STONIX program is a modular codebase implemented in Python (currently using the 2.x dialect, a port to Python 3.0 is in future planning). Python was selected due to it being part of the default install on all target platforms. The program is primarily a command-line utility but there is a robust GUI built in. The GUI is implemented in PyQt. Many platform packages will not express a dependency on PyQt due to the GUI's optional nature. At the present time (revision 0.8.16) the following platforms are used for development and test: Red Hat Enterprise Linux v6 and v7. Fedora Linux v20 & 21. OpenSuSE 12.2. Debian (stable). Ubuntu 14.04. CentOS v7. Apple OS X v10.9 and v 10.10. Close derivatives of these Operating Systems should be well supported, more distant cousins less so. STONIX uses a Major.Minor.Release versioning scheme. At present STONIX is in an Alpha, not feature complete stage. Every attempt is made to ensure that the code is production ready, but the features are not yet complete and there will be functionality changes in future revisions. When reporting issues in STONIX please fully document the specific functionality that is causing a problem. We will likely need sample configuration files that cause the section of STONIX to have issues. A copy of the debug output is also very valuable. Report your issue via the STONIX github issue tracker. We encourage reporting, and hope to attract contributors.
