## What it is
A dependency-free Bash script that audits Linux VPS security and performance, running 18 graded checks covering SSH configuration, firewalls, intrusion prevention, patching, and resource health. It outputs color-coded pass/warn/fail results in real time and generates a detailed report file with fix recommendations.

## Use cases
- audit my vps for security misconfigurations
- check if ssh root login and password auth are disabled
- verify firewall is active and see open ports on my server
- find failed ssh login attempts and missing fail2ban
- check pending security updates on ubuntu server
- monitor disk memory and cpu usage from the command line
- generate a server security report with recommendations

## When to choose
- you want a zero-install, one-command security audit on Ubuntu/Debian servers
- you need a quick pre-hardening or post-setup check without leaving an agent running
- you want actionable fix suggestions for common server misconfigurations

## When to avoid
- you need continuous monitoring, alerting, or historical dashboards rather than point-in-time audits
- you run non-Debian Linux distributions or non-Linux systems
- you need compliance-grade scanning (CIS benchmarks, CVE scanning) with formal reporting
