Why Software packages?
For Unix and Linux based sytems it's common to find the usage of a software package management solution.
This solution consists of a package manager, package database, the installed software packages and support
tools to query the database.
Software packages are a typically a bundle of individual components, like:
- Binaries (compiled code)
- Configuration files
- Documentation (e.g. readme, copyright, additional resources)
- Info and/or manual page (man page)
Lynis audits installed packages and adds them to the report file.
