Linux Gather Protection Enumeration
Description
This module checks whether popular system hardening mechanisms are in place, such as SMEP, SMAP, SELinux, PaX and grsecurity. It also tries to find installed applications that can be used to hinder, prevent, or detect attacks, such as tripwire, snort, and apparmor. This module is meant to identify Linux Secure Modules (LSM) in addition to various antivirus, IDS/IPS, firewalls, sandboxes and other security related software.

Module Options
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
