Thrown Wolf Consulting: How to Use OpenSCAP on Ubuntu – Compliance Scan + HTML Report

Quick hands-on demo of OpenSCAP (Open Security Content Automation Protocol) — a powerful open-source tool for security compliance scanning on Linux.

In this short tutorial I show:
• What OpenSCAP is and why it matters
• Installing OpenSCAP on Ubuntu (including GitHub workaround)
• Choosing and running profiles
• Viewing PASS/FAIL results
• Generating and viewing a detailed HTML report (with nginx)
• Bonus: bash and Ansible automation scripts

Perfect for sysadmins, DevSecOps, or anyone responsible for security compliance and hardening Linux systems.
