There are distros like Ubuntu 24.04 LTS that does not have netstat installed. "ip" could be a good alternative.

Thanks for the patch (and patience). While the change itself is great, it will break the test completely for systems not having 'ip', like BSD. Can you rewrite it to support both? |

Hello,
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS does not have netstat installed so Lynis can't detect the default gateway in the system. #1527
The "ip" command is typically pre-installed on most Linux distributions, so maybe it could be a good alternative.
What do you think?
This patch uses the
ipcommand to retrieve the default gateway.Thanks
