Usage:
hardening-check [options] [ELF ...]
Examine a given set of ELF binaries and check for several security
hardening features, failing if they are not all found.
Options:
--nopie, -p
Do not require that the checked binaries be built as PIE.
--nostackprotector, -s
Do not require that the checked binaries be built with the stack
protector.
--nofortify, -f
Do not require that the checked binaries be built with Fortify
Source.
--norelro, -r
Do not require that the checked binaries be built with RELRO.
--nobindnow, -b
Do not require that the checked binaries be built with BIND_NOW.
--nocfprotection, -x
Do not require that the checked binaries be built with control
flow protection.
--nobranchprotection, -B
Do not require that the checked binaries be built with branch
protection.
--quiet, -q
Only report failures.
--verbose, -v
Report verbosely on failures.
--report-functions, -R
After the report, display all external functions needed by the
ELF.
--find-libc-functions, -F
Instead of the regular report, locate the libc for the first ELF
on the command line and report all the known "fortified"
functions exported by libc.
--color, -c
Enable colorized status output.
--lintian, -l
Switch reporting to lintian-check-parsable output.
--debug Report some debugging during processing.
--help, -h, -?
Print a brief help message and exit.
--man, -H
Print the manual page and exit.
