Linux CLI

System integrity from the command line.

AuditWalk gives you visibility first, automation when you choose it. The free CLI helps you scan your system, establish a trusted baseline, and detect drift through a disciplined, evidence-first workflow.

For users who want broader capability, AuditWalk is also growing into a more comprehensive paid platform with deeper automation, a fully integrated GUI, expanded licensing, and priority support for early adopters.

The Workflow

Scan observes. Confirm is a decision.

These are two separate steps for good reason. A scan captures what's there — it makes no claim about whether the state is good. Confirming the baseline is your deliberate statement: "I've reviewed this, and I vouch for it." That separation is the safety model.

01

scan run

Captures filesystem state. Observation only.

free
02

baseline set

Your sign-off. Promotes the scan to trusted state.

free
03

preflight run

Targeted verification of specific scopes.

free
04

compare run

Full drift detection against the baseline.

free
05

doctor

Interprets drift and recommends next actions.

Paid · v0.2
06

repair

Generates reviewable repair plans.

Paid · v0.2

All operations are read-only unless you explicitly approve a repair plan. AuditWalk never mutates system state silently.

Command Reference

Free and paid commands at a glance.

AuditWalk’s free CLI already gives you a useful baseline-first workflow: observe system state, establish a trusted reference, run targeted checks, compare for drift, inspect findings, and export structured evidence.

For many users, that is enough to verify change, document outcomes, and improve confidence in what the system is doing. The free workflow is complete and usable on Linux today.

Paid capabilities extend that foundation with deeper examination, guided interpretation, repair planning, expanded licensing, and priority support. For canonical grammar and advanced patterns, see the CLI Guide.

EARLY ADOPTER

AuditWalk CLI is complete and stable for the full free surface — scan run, baseline set, preflight run, compare run, inspect, report render, status, trust, and attention show all work today on Linux. doctor and repair ship in v0.2 and are included automatically with all paid licenses.

Download

Start your first system baseline in under two minutes.

Install from the official Linux CLI release:

1) Download the current Linux package from /downloads/
2) Verify checksum from the release page
3) Run the package install steps for your distribution

Run your first scan, set your baseline, and verify with preflight:

auditwalk scan run --profile full
auditwalk baseline set --scan-id <scan_id>
auditwalk preflight run
auditwalk compare run

AuditWalk operates in observation mode by default. Nothing modifies your system unless explicitly approved.
