-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2018-a27d71c715 2018-03-27 19:05:24.060058 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : pax-utils Product : Fedora EPEL 6 Version : 1.2.3 Release : 1.el6 URL : https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Hardened/PaX_Utilities Summary : ELF utils that can check files for security relevant properties Description : pax-utils is a small set of utilities for peforming Q/A (mostly security) checks on systems (most notably, `scanelf`). It is focused on the ELF format, but does include a Mach-O helper too for OS X systems.
While heavily integrated into Gentoo's build system, it can be used on any distro as it is a generic toolset.
Originally focused only on [PaX](https://pax.grsecurity.net/), it has been expanded to be generally security focused. It still has a good number of PaX helpers for people interested in that.
