Im concerned about running an untrusted binary on my system. Can I run the benchmark test without running the cis-scan binary?
Yes. The cis-scan binary is really a simple wrapper program which has been linked against a copy of the Perl interpreter library (libperl.a) so that sites can run the tester without installing the Perl distribution. cis-scan simply runs the Perl code in the tester.sub file. Assuming, your system already has Perl installed, you can run tester.sub directly with only minor modifications: 1.Edit the tester.sub file and locate the line which reads sub tester { Add an additional line above this line so that the file reads &tester(); sub tester { 2.If Perl is not installed on the local machine as /usr/bin/perl, change the first line of tester.sub (“#!/usr/bin/perl”) to use the appropriate path name. 3.Save your changes to tester.sub and exit the editor 4.Execute tester.sub directly by running /opt/CIS/tester.
