How Do I Check Whether the Security Hardening Tool Has Been Installed in the System

Question

How do I check whether the security hardening tool has been installed in the system?

Answer

• Windows operating system

  If the administrator user name is Administrator, the system is not hardened. If the administrator user name is SWMaster, the system has been hardened. After logging in to the system as the administrator, press Win+R to open the Run dialog box, enter setwin, and press Enter. If the security hardening tool has been installed, the hardening program is automatically started. Otherwise, the system cannot find the setwin command.

• SUSE Linux operating system

  Log in to the Linux operating system as the root user and run the sek -h command. If the sek command cannot be found, the hardening tool is not installed. Otherwise, the following information is displayed:
