Axonius - Run Linux SSH Scan runs an SSH scan on each of the query results, which are endpoint Linux machines.
The scan retrieves important information about the device, including:
- Hostname
- Network Interfaces - including MAC addresses, IP addresses and subnets
- Operating system, kernel version and distribution
- A list of installed software
- Users and admin users
- Hard drives and file systems
- CPUs and RAM
- Hardware details, including serials
- and more...
Most of the Linux SSH scan information is also displayed under the various asset aggregated data tables.
For more details, see Device Profile page.
NOTE
The Linux SSH adapter is a 'read only' adapter. The adapter only gathers information about the endpoint Linux machine and does not change it.
It is safe to use the adapter to fetch information from production environments.
For details on the list of used commands and read files, see Connecting Linux SSH Adapter.
