Could you elaborate the need of an install.sh script for DoD compliance ? Are we talking about USA Department of Defense compliance here ?
At first sight, you script is basically implementing what's written in the README.md, but on quick and dirty way. I mean that this repository is intended to makje machines remain compliant in the long run, and as such, hardening.sh has been coded accordingly (to fit in to a crontab for example).
Key Enhancements for DoD Compliance Logging: Added comprehensive logging of actions and errors to /var/log/debian-cis-hardening.log. This ensures traceability and accountability.
Error Handling: Included checks for the success of each operation and exit on failure, which helps maintain the integrity of the script and provides immediate feedback on issues.
Root Privileges Check: Ensures the script is executed with root privileges, which is crucial for performing system-wide configurations.
Backup of Existing Configurations: Provides backup of existing configuration files before making changes.
Secure Permissions: Sets secure permissions for the log file to protect sensitive audit information.
User Interaction: Prompts user for additional options and configurations, ensuring the script is flexible and adaptable to various requirements.
