O debsecan efectua uma avaliação de segurança ao sistema e relata vulnerabilidades conhecidas associadas aos pacotes instalado no sistema, notificando o administrador (root) dos resultados.

root@server:~# apt-get install debsecan

Para relatórios mais rigorosos, deverá ser indicada a versão Debian do nosso sistema no ficheiro /etc/default/debsecan:

/etc/default/debsecan

#[...]

# For better reporting, specify the correct suite here, using the code
# name (that is, "sid" instead of "unstable").
SUITE=jessie

#[...]

O debsecan pode ser configurado para ser executado diariamente através de uma tarefa agendada (cron), sendo os resultados enviados por email ao administrador do sistema (root):

root@server:~# debsecan-create-cron

A tarefa agendada durante a configuração irá enviar uma email ao administrador com o resultado da análise de segurança:
