Could you build this?
Partial While generating bash audit commands and rendering reports is straightforward, building a reliable, secure agent-based SSH/fleet management infrastructure with privilege execution across diverse OS distributions requires deep systems security engineering.
What it would actually take: Requires an agent or SSH daemon orchestration system (in Go or Rust) that securely connects to target instances without storing raw credentials insecurely. It needs robust state parsing for Linux auth subsystems (PAM, /etc/passwd, authorized_keys, sudoers), a cryptographically secure audit trail, and distributed fleet revocation mechanisms.
