opalCT

OpalCT is an open-source project providing a platform for security auditing and compliance testing. Its primary function is to automate the detection of misconfigurations and policy violations across various IT systems. The tool is designed to be flexible, allowing users to define their own audit rules and tests.

The project is built around a core engine that executes audit scripts. These scripts can be written in various programming languages, enabling users to tailor checks to their specific environments. OpalCT supports auditing of a wide range of targets, including operating systems, network devices, and cloud infrastructure. It aims to help organizations maintain a secure posture by identifying potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

Key features of OpalCT include a rule-based engine, support for custom scripts, and the ability to generate reports on audit findings. The platform is intended for use by security professionals, system administrators, and compliance officers. By automating these checks, OpalCT seeks to reduce the manual effort required for security audits and ensure consistent adherence to security policies. The project is actively developed and relies on community contributions for its growth and improvement.
