Download

  • You can download the latest Bastille release with the FKL code in it from the main Bastille download site here. Download the Version number with the highest number. FKL only supports RedHat Enterprise Server, and SUSE Enterprise server as of right now, so you should download the Bastille-x.x.x-x.x.noarch.rpm . After you have downloaded that file follow the instructions here. After installing Bastille you can use the FKL tool by typing bastille --fkl, which will follow the FKL guidelines. To get access to the Audit tool that FKL put in Bastille please type bastille --assess. This will give a score back based on how hardened you system is.
