Tripwire ConfigCheck

Paul Shannon Security, VMware, Virtualisation 2008-06-17

I was looking for an app that would investigate an ESX host that wasn’t configured by me to see how much work would be needed to secure it.

I found Tripwire’s ConfigCheck java app an absolute cracker.

    One of the most frequent requests we had concerning Tripwire ConfigCheck was the ability to monitor 3.0. Wanting to make sure that ESX 3.0 admins had the same capabilities to ensure secure configuration of the Hypervisor against the VMware Hardening Guidelines, today Tripwire has released ConfigCheck for ESX 3.0 to complement our coverage of ESX 3.5. In addition, we updated the supporting remediation advice for 3.0 detailing all the steps, if different from ESX 3.5, to get the configurations up to a known and trusted state.
