💅 scap-workbench(8) — like, the whole glow-up 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the man page for scap-workbench, brought to you under the System Administration Utilities umbrella (yes, that's the section, we stan a category). this is the whole thing, start to finish, no skips. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

scap-workbench — a GUI tool for systems compliance evaluation. that's the vibe. that's the whole thing. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

scap-workbench [options] [XCCDF_FILE]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

SCAP Workbench is a GUI tool for security compliance checking. compliance can be described with SCAP standards — namely XCCDF and OVAL. iykyk. 💅

this tool lets you, personally, the main character, do all of this:

  • evaluate local and/or remote machines using SCAP content — that's scanning 🔍
  • perform remediation on both local and remote machines — that's remediation 🛠️
  • adjust XCCDF scanning profiles — that's tailoring ✂️
  • generate Bash scripts and Ansible playbooks 📜✨

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • --help — shows help. that's it, that's the whole thing, we love a simple icon. 🙈
  • --version — displays version information. so you know exactly which one you're running. 🔥
  • --skip-valid — if you provide this option, openscap validation will not be performed. this is recommended only for advanced users, and it may cause OpenSCAP or SCAP Workbench to crash! 😭
bestie, please read that again. --skip-valid is giving "i know what i'm doing" energy and if you don't, it's giving crash energy. you've been warned fr fr 💀
  • --tailoring TAILORING_FILE — opens the given tailoring (customization) file after the given XCCDF or SDS file is loaded. 💅
  • XCCDF_FILE — if this parameter is provided, the scanner will immediately open the given XCCDF or source datastream (SDS) file after it starts. instant gratification. 🌈

🧚 SCAP CONTENT 🧚

SCAP content is provided by the OpenSCAP project in the scap-security-guide package. 👑

other sources of SCAP content are, in no particular order but also very much in this particular order:
