automatic Security-Testing of Beta-Versions

Today I finished my little project of creating an easy way to automatically verify the security settings of a new openSUSE/SLES.

Tools I used:

1. qemu
2. setupgrubfornfsinstall.sh (script by Ludwig Nussel to make network installations, great tool!)
3. lighttpd to provide autoinstallation profile for...
   
4. autoyast + add-on products (also a great tool)
   
5. use an own and an openSUSE repositories to...
   
6. install various shell scripts and tools (Lynis, etc.) for verifying local security settings of a Linux system
7. a button to press ;)
   

Now everything that I need to do when a new beta-testing phase starts is run setupgrubfornfsinstall.sh, installing the beta in qemu, letting autoyast configure the system to include as many software packages as possible, create a root and test account, use the additional repos to install the security tools that run automatically at the end of the boot process. Fun! :)
