LastControl is a reporting and telemetry platform that runs on Linux machines using a TLS-enabled agent. Unlike large-scale enterprise monitoring systems, it aims to provide a fast-to-deploy, scalable, minimal, and easy-to-understand infrastructure.

LastControl does not compare only package versions.
Instead it correlates installed packages with official vendor security advisories.
This approach significantly reduces false positives and follows the security status published by distribution vendors.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eesmer/LastControl/refs/heads/main/LastControl-ServerInstaller.sh
bash LastControl-ServerInstaller.sh
http://SERVER_IP
Username: admin
Password: lastcontrol
The server generates a custom installer:
http://SERVER_IP/download-agent
/usr/local/lastcontrol/dist/lastcontrol-agent_installer.sh
Copy the installer to the target machine and run:
bash lastcontrol-agent_installer.sh
The agent will:
- Install required dependencies
- Install reporting scripts
- Install TLS certificates
- Configure systemd timer
- Start periodic reporting
