Agent that makes sure your laptop is correctly configured for security.
The Pareto Security agent is a free and open source app to help you make sure that your laptop is configured for security.
By default, it's a CLI command that prints out a report on basic security settings such as if you have disk encryption and firewall enabled.
If you use the services.paretosecurity NixOS module, you also get a root helper that allows you to run the checker in userspace. Some checks require root permissions, and the checker asks the helper to run those.
Additionally, using the NixOS module gets you a little Vilfredo Pareto living in your systray showing your the current status of checks. The NixOS Module also installs a systemd timer to update the status of checks once per hour. If you want to use just the CLI mode, set services.paretosecurity.trayIcon to false.
Finally, you can run paretosecurity link to configure the agent to send the status of checks to https://dash.paretosecurity.com to make compliance people happy. No sending happens until your device is linked.
