vps-audit

Capability: vps-audit

Use it when

  • You just provisioned an Ubuntu or Debian VPS and need a quick pass/warn/fail security baseline (SSH, firewall, fail2ban, open ports) before exposing it to the internet
  • You suspect weak SSH settings, missing firewall rules, or lax password policy on an existing Debian-based server and want a report of misconfigurations with remediation recommendations

What it solves

Not the fit when

  • Professional penetration testing or compliance certification
  • Non-Debian systems such as RHEL, Alpine, or BSD
  • Continuous runtime monitoring or intrusion detection
  • telemetry-blind-spot
  • document-workflow-audit

Install

Download vps-audit.sh from the canonical Nuver-Labs repository, inspect and pin the script before privileged execution, then chmod +x vps-audit.sh

Invoke

sudo ./vps-audit.sh (prints color-coded PASS/WARN/FAIL results and writes vps-audit-report-[TIMESTAMP].txt)
