Supermarket Belongs to the Community

Supermarket belongs to the community. While Chef has the responsibility to keep it running and be stewards of its functionality, what it does and how it works is driven by the community. The chef/supermarket repository will continue to be where development of the Supermarket application takes place. Come be part of shaping the direction of Supermarket by opening issues and pull requests or by joining us on the Chef Mailing List.

  • Configures pam and pam_limits module
  • Shadow password suite configuration
  • Configures system path permissions
  • Disable core dumps via soft limits
  • Restrict Root Logins to System Console
  • Set SUIDs
  • Configures kernel parameters via sysctl

It will not:

  • Update system packages
  • Install security patches

Attributes

  • ['os-hardening']['components'][COMPONENT_NAME] - allows the fine control over which components should be executed via default recipe. See below for more details
  • ['os-hardening']['desktop']['enable'] = false true if this is a desktop system, ie Xorg, KDE/GNOME/Unity/etc
  • ['os-hardening']['network']['forwarding'] = false true if this system requires packet forwarding (eg Router), false otherwise
  • ['os-hardening']['network']['ipv6']['enable'] = false
  • ['os-hardening']['network']['arp']['restricted'] = true true if you want the behavior of announcing and replying to ARP to be restricted, false otherwise
  • ['os-hardening']['env']['extra_user_paths'] = [] add additional paths to the user's PATH variable (default is empty).
  • ['os-hardening']['env']['umask'] = "027"
  • ['os-hardening']['env']['root_path'] = "/" where root is mounted
  • ['os-hardening']['auth']['pw_max_age'] = 60 maximum password age
  • ['os-hardening']['auth']['pw_min_age'] = 7 minimum password age (before allowing any other password change)
  • ['os-hardening']['auth']['pw_warn_age'] = 7 number of days before maximum password age occurs to warn of impending change
  • ['os-hardening']['auth']['uid_min'] = 1000 lower bound of UIDs assigned by useradd
  • ['os-hardening']['auth']['uid_max'] = 60000 upper bound of UIDs assigned by useradd
  • ['os-hardening']['auth']['gid_min'] = 1000 lower bound of GIDs assigned by groupadd
  • ['os-hardening']['auth']['gid_max'] = 60000 upper bound of GIDs assigned by groupadd
  • ['os-hardening']['auth']['retries'] = 5 the maximum number of authentication attempts, before the account is locked for some time
  • ['os-hardening']['auth']['lockout_time'] = 600 time in seconds that needs to pass, if the account was locked due to too many failed authentication attempts
  • ['os-hardening']['auth']['timeout'] = 60 authentication timeout in seconds, so login will exit if this time passes
  • ['os-hardening']['auth']['allow_homeless'] = false true if to allow users without home to login
  • ['os-hardening']['auth']['pam']['passwdqc']['enable'] = true true if you want to use strong password checking in PAM using passwdqc
  • ['os-hardening']['auth']['pam']['passwdqc']['options'] = "min=disabled,disabled,16,12,8" set to any option line (as a string) that you want to pass to passwdqc
  • ['os-hardening']['auth']['pam']['passwdqc']['template_cookbook'] = 'os-hardening' set to the name of the cookbook from which the template is obtained for the /usr/share/pam-configs/passwdqc file
  • ['os-hardening']['auth']['pam']['tally2']['template_cookbook'] = 'os-hardening' set to the name of the cookbook from which the template is obtained for the /usr/share/pam-configs/tally2 file
  • ['os-hardening']['auth']['pam']['system-auth']['template_cookbook'] = 'os-hardening' set to the name of the cookbook from which the template is obtained for the /etc/pam.d/system-auth-ac file
  • ['os-hardening']['security']['users']['allow'] = [] list of things, that a user is allowed to do. May contain: change_user
  • ['os-hardening']['security']['kernel']['enable_module_loading'] = true true if you want to allowed to change kernel modules once the system is running (eg modprobe, rmmod)
  • ['os-hardening']['security']['kernel']['disable_filesystems'] = ['cramfs', 'freevxfs', 'jffs2', 'hfs', 'hfsplus', 'squashfs', 'udf', 'vfat'] list of kernel file system modules, which are blacklisted for loading (e.g. they are unused and can be disabled). Set this to [] to completely avoid this blacklisting
  • ['os-hardening']['security']['kernel']['enable_sysrq'] = false
  • ['os-hardening']['security']['kernel']['enable_core_dump'] = false
  • ['os-hardening']['security']['suid_sgid']['enforce'] = true true if you want to reduce SUID/SGID bits. There is already a list of items which are searched for configured, but you can also add your own
  • ['os-hardening']['security']['suid_sgid']['blacklist'] = [] a list of paths which should have their SUID/SGID bits removed
  • ['os-hardening']['security']['suid_sgid']['whitelist'] = [] a list of paths which should not have their SUID/SGID bits altered
  • ['os-hardening']['security']['suid_sgid']['remove_from_unknown'] = false true if you want to remove SUID/SGID bits from any file, that is not explicitly configured in a blacklist. This will make every Chef run search through the mounted filesystems looking for SUID/SGID bits that are not configured in the default and user blacklist. If it finds an SUID/SGID bit, it will be removed, unless this file is in your whitelist.
  • ['os-hardening']['security']['suid_sgid']['dry_run_on_unknown'] = false like remove_from_unknown above, only that SUID/SGID bits aren't removed. It will still search the filesystems to look for SUID/SGID bits but it will only print them in your log. This option is only ever recommended, when you first configure remove_from_unknown for SUID/SGID bits, so that you can see the files that are being changed and make adjustments to your whitelist and blacklist.
  • ['os-hardening']['security']['packages']['clean'] = true removes packages with known issues.
  • ['os-hardening']['security']['packages']['list'] = ['xinetd','inetd','ypserv','telnet-server','rsh-server'] list of packages to remove, by default we remove the following packages:
    • xinetd (NSA, Chapter 3.2.1)
    • inetd (NSA, Chapter 3.2.1)
    • tftp-server (NSA, Chapter 3.2.5)
    • ypserv (NSA, Chapter 3.2.4)
    • telnet-server (NSA, Chapter 3.2.2)
    • rsh-server (NSA, Chapter 3.2.3)
  • ['os-hardening']['security']['selinux_mode'] = 'unmanaged' set to unmanaged if you want to let selinux configuration as it is. Set to enforcing to enforce or permissive to permissive SELinux.

Controlling the included components

default.rb includes other components based on the ohai autodetection attributes of your system. E.g. do not execute selinux on non-RHEL systems. You can override this behavior and force components to be executed or not via setting attributes in node['os-hardening']['components'] on the override level. Example

# some attribute file
# do not include sysctl and auditd
override['os-hardening']['components']['sysctl'] = false
override['os-hardening']['components']['auditd'] = false

# force selinux to be included
override['os-hardening']['components']['selinux'] = true

In the current implementation different components are located in the different recipes. See the available recipes or default.rb for possible component names.

Usage

Add the recipes to the run_list, it should be last:

"recipe[os-hardening]"

Configure attributes:

"security" : {
  "kernel" : {
    "enable_module_loading" : true
  }
},

Local Testing

Local testing

Please install chef-dk, VirtualBox or VMware Workstation and Vagrant.

Linting is checked with rubocop and foodcritic:

$ chef exec rake lint
.....

Unit/spec tests are done with chefspec:

$ chef exec rake spec
.....

Integration tests are done with test-kitchen and inspec:

$ chef exec rake kitchen
.....
# or you can use the kitchen directly
$ kitchen test

CI testing of forks

You can enable testing of your fork in Travis CI. By default you will get linting, spec tests and integration tests with kitchen-dokken.

Integration tests with kitchen-dokken do not cover everything as they run in the container environment.
Full integration tests can be executed using DigitalOcean.

If you want to have full integration tests for your fork, you will have to add following environment variables in the settings of your fork:
- DIGITALOCEAN_ACCESS_TOKEN - access token for DigitalOcean
- CI_SSH_KEY - private part of some ssh key, available on DigitalOcean for your instances, in base64 encoded form (e.g. cat id_rsa | base64 -w0 ; echo)
- DIGITALOCEAN_SSH_KEY_IDS - ID in DigitalOcean of CI_SSH_KEY, see this for more information
