This is a nice resource as well. Some of the stuff out of the CIS Benchmarks come from here:

I'm  looking for .tar and .sh (HP hardening scripts) files for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7 hardening.

To date, i found the older version (rhel5harden_v1.1.2.tar), and some expired links. Would appreciate if someone could provide new links/ documents for this hardening task.

depending on the distro and version you could try scap-workbench.

the DoD uses a version of SCAP to check the security of the system.

yum install scap-workbench

RHEL 7.3 is included in this. I generally go with the option of linux with GUI because it does take a GUI to run it.
