DTAP protocol simplifies Linux security hardening checks
DTAP is a lightweight testing protocol that validates Linux infrastructure using plain Bash scripts. The example shows how to check Rocky Linux security settings like firewalld, SELinux, and SSH configuration. It appeals to DevOps familiar with standard Linux tools by using familiar ps/grep/exit code patterns.
