Ubuntu 20.04 CIS xccdf benchmarks

Question

I was hoping that someone knew where to find xccdf files for Ubuntu 20.04 with CIS benchmarks to run with Openscap. It looks like the out-of-the-box Openscap only includes RHEL, firefox, and java. I see that Ubuntu Security Guide might be an option, but I'm looking for something free.

Thanks!

Try the OpenSCAP project GitHub repository: https://github.com/ComplianceAsCode/content/tree/master/

I think also the official CIS website (https://www.cisecurity.org/) provides XCCDF files for various operating systems, including Ubuntu 20.04.

I don't see xccdfs for Ubuntu 20.04 through the git project, nor through the CIS website. Benchmarks are available, but not xccdf files. – wabbajack001 Dec 28 '22 at 19:54
@sam Try going to releases and downloading the latest release. – idontknow Jan 09 '23 at 02:39
