Chef InSpec is an open-source testing framework for infrastructure with a human- and machine-readable language for specifying compliance, security and policy requirements.
2015-10-26 22:41:27 +00:00
```ruby
2015-11-03 17:15:09 +00:00
# Disallow insecure protocols by testing
2015-10-26 22:41:27 +00:00
describe package('telnetd') do
2015-10-27 01:16:32 +00:00
it { should_not be_installed }
2015-10-26 22:41:27 +00:00
end
describe inetd_conf do
2015-10-27 01:16:32 +00:00
its("telnet") { should eq nil }
2015-10-26 22:41:27 +00:00
end
```
2019-05-01 18:14:59 +00:00

## Installation
2019-05-30 14:43:18 +00:00
Chef InSpec requires Ruby ( >= 2.4 ).
2019-05-15 20:31:59 +00:00
Note: Versions of Chef InSpec 4.0 and later require accepting the EULA to use. Please visit the [license acceptance page ](https://docs.chef.io/chef_license_accept.html ) on the Chef docs site for more information.
2015-09-07 15:18:44 +00:00
2016-10-17 11:33:26 +00:00
### Install as package
2019-05-01 18:14:59 +00:00
The Chef InSpec package is available for MacOS, RedHat, Ubuntu and Windows. Download the latest package at [Chef InSpec Downloads ](https://downloads.chef.io/inspec ) or install Chef InSpec via script:
2017-03-07 14:31:17 +00:00
```
# RedHat, Ubuntu, and macOS
curl https://omnitruck.chef.io/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- -P inspec
# Windows
. { iwr -useb https://omnitruck.chef.io/install.ps1 } | iex; install -project inspec
```
2016-10-17 11:33:26 +00:00
2015-11-23 13:03:50 +00:00
### Install it via rubygems.org
2016-04-17 22:01:54 +00:00
When installing from source, gem dependencies may require ruby build tools to be installed.
For CentOS/RedHat/Fedora:
```bash
2018-03-05 21:02:34 +00:00
yum -y install ruby ruby-devel make gcc gcc-c++
2016-04-17 22:01:54 +00:00
```
For Ubuntu:
```bash
2018-03-05 21:02:34 +00:00
apt-get -y install ruby ruby-dev gcc g++ make
2016-04-17 22:01:54 +00:00
```
2019-05-30 14:43:18 +00:00
To install the `inspec` executable, which requires accepting the [Chef License ](https://docs.chef.io/chef_license_accept.html ), run:
```bash
gem install inspec-bin
```
2019-05-30 17:57:58 +00:00
You may also use `inspec` as a library, with no executable. This does not require accepting the license. To install the library as a gem, run:
2016-04-17 22:01:54 +00:00
2015-11-23 13:03:50 +00:00
```bash
gem install inspec
```
2019-05-30 14:43:18 +00:00
2016-04-16 23:05:07 +00:00
### Usage via Docker
2018-02-23 20:27:04 +00:00
Download the image and define a function for convenience:
2016-04-16 23:05:07 +00:00
2018-03-05 20:34:36 +00:00
For Linux:
2016-04-16 23:05:07 +00:00
```
docker pull chef/inspec
2018-07-17 14:10:40 +00:00
function inspec { docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/share chef/inspec "$@"; }
2016-04-16 23:05:07 +00:00
```
2018-03-05 20:34:36 +00:00
For Windows (PowerShell):
```
docker pull chef/inspec
function inspec { docker run -it --rm -v "$(pwd):/share" chef/inspec $args; }
```
2018-02-23 20:27:04 +00:00
If you call `inspec` from your shell, it automatically mounts the current directory into the Docker container. Therefore you can easily use local tests and key files. Note: Only files in the current directory and sub-directories are available within the container.
2016-04-16 23:05:07 +00:00
```
$ ls -1
vagrant
test.rb
$ inspec exec test.rb -t ssh://root@192.168.64.2:11022 -i vagrant
..
Finished in 0.04321 seconds (files took 0.54917 seconds to load)
2 examples, 0 failures
```
2015-11-23 13:03:50 +00:00
### Install it from source
2018-12-20 22:15:14 +00:00
Note that installing from OS packages from [the download page ](https://downloads.chef.io ) is the preferred method.
2015-11-23 13:03:50 +00:00
That requires [bundler ](http://bundler.io/ ):
2015-09-07 15:24:07 +00:00
```bash
bundle install
2015-10-26 03:04:18 +00:00
bundle exec bin/inspec help
2015-09-07 15:24:07 +00:00
```
To install it as a gem locally, run:
2015-09-07 15:18:44 +00:00
```bash
2015-10-26 03:04:18 +00:00
gem build inspec.gemspec
gem install inspec-*.gem
2015-09-07 15:18:44 +00:00
```
2015-11-23 13:03:50 +00:00
On Windows, you need to install [Ruby ](http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/ ) with [Ruby Development Kit ](https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit ) to build dependencies with its native extensions.
2015-11-06 16:27:27 +00:00
2019-05-01 18:14:59 +00:00
### Install via Chef Habitat
2016-10-11 21:07:44 +00:00
2019-05-01 18:14:59 +00:00
Currently, this method of installation only supports Linux. See the [Chef Habitat site ](https://www.habitat.sh/ ) for more information.
2016-10-11 21:07:44 +00:00
2019-05-01 18:14:59 +00:00
Download the `hab` binary from the [Chef Habitat ](https://www.habitat.sh/docs/get-habitat/ ) site.
2016-10-11 21:07:44 +00:00
```bash
2018-12-06 15:16:56 +00:00
hab pkg install chef/inspec --binlink
2016-10-11 21:07:44 +00:00
inspec
```
2019-05-01 18:14:59 +00:00
### Run Chef InSpec
2015-11-06 16:27:27 +00:00
2015-09-07 15:18:44 +00:00
You should now be able to run:
```bash
2015-11-23 13:03:50 +00:00
$ inspec --help
Commands:
2016-03-27 16:40:34 +00:00
inspec archive PATH # archive a profile to tar.gz (default) ...
inspec check PATH # verify all tests at the specified PATH
inspec compliance SUBCOMMAND ... # Chef Compliance commands
inspec detect # detect the target OS
inspec exec PATH(S) # run all test files at the specified PATH.
inspec help [COMMAND] # Describe available commands or one spe...
inspec init TEMPLATE ... # Scaffolds a new project
inspec json PATH # read all tests in PATH and generate a ...
inspec shell # open an interactive debugging shell
inspec supermarket SUBCOMMAND ... # Supermarket commands
inspec version # prints the version of this tool
Options:
[--diagnose], [--no-diagnose] # Show diagnostics (versions, configurations)
2015-09-07 15:18:44 +00:00
```
2015-11-03 17:15:09 +00:00
# Examples
* Only accept requests on secure ports - This test ensures that a web server is only listening on well-secured ports.
```ruby
describe port(80) do
it { should_not be_listening }
end
describe port(443) do
it { should be_listening }
2015-12-08 12:46:20 +00:00
its('protocols') {should include 'tcp'}
2015-11-03 17:15:09 +00:00
end
```
* Use approved strong ciphers - This test ensures that only enterprise-compliant ciphers are used for SSH servers.
```ruby
describe sshd_config do
its('Ciphers') { should eq('chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com,aes256-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes128-ctr') }
end
```
2016-10-25 20:33:23 +00:00
* Test your `kitchen.yml` file to verify that only Vagrant is configured as the driver. The %w() formatting will
2018-03-20 12:43:30 +00:00
pass rubocop linting and allow you to access nested mappings.
2015-11-03 17:15:09 +00:00
```ruby
describe yaml('.kitchen.yml') do
2016-10-25 20:33:23 +00:00
its(%w(driver name)) { should eq('vagrant') }
2015-11-03 17:15:09 +00:00
end
```

* Using describe.one, you can test for a or b. The control will be marked as passing if EITHER condition is met.
```ruby
control 'or-test' do
impact 1.0
title 'This is a OR test'
describe.one do
describe ssh_config do
its('Protocol') { should eq('3') }
end
describe ssh_config do
its('Protocol') { should eq('2') }
end
end
end

## Testing Chef InSpec
2015-09-15 13:05:11 +00:00
2018-02-07 14:53:21 +00:00
We offer `unit` , `integration` , and `aws` tests.
2015-10-30 14:04:10 +00:00
2017-09-06 10:05:25 +00:00
- `unit` tests ensure the intended behaviour of the implementation
- `integration` tests run against Docker-based VMs via test-kitchen and [kitchen-inspec ](https://github.com/chef/kitchen-inspec )
2018-02-07 14:53:21 +00:00
- `aws` tests exercise the AWS resources against real AWS accounts
2015-09-15 13:05:11 +00:00
2015-10-30 13:03:59 +00:00
### Unit tests
```bash
2015-10-30 13:05:02 +00:00
bundle exec rake test
2015-10-30 13:03:59 +00:00
```
2017-09-06 10:05:25 +00:00
If you like to run only one test file:
2015-12-03 17:51:47 +00:00
```bash
2017-09-06 10:05:25 +00:00
bundle exec m test/unit/resources/user_test.rb
2015-12-03 17:51:47 +00:00
```
2017-09-06 10:05:25 +00:00
You may also run a single test within a file by line number:
2015-09-15 13:05:11 +00:00
```bash
2017-09-06 10:05:25 +00:00
bundle exec m test/unit/resources/user_test.rb -l 123
2018-03-15 19:42:17 +00:00
```
2015-09-15 13:05:11 +00:00
2015-10-30 14:04:10 +00:00
### Integration tests
2019-05-01 18:14:59 +00:00
These tests download various virtual machines, to ensure Chef InSpec is working as expected across different operating systems.
2015-10-30 14:04:10 +00:00
2017-09-06 10:05:25 +00:00
These tests require the following gems:
- test-kitchen
- kitchen-dokken
- kitchen-inspec
2015-10-30 14:04:10 +00:00
2017-09-06 10:05:25 +00:00
These gems are provided via the `integration` group in the project's Gemfile.
2015-10-30 14:04:10 +00:00
2017-09-06 10:05:25 +00:00
In addition, these test require Docker to be available on your machine or a remote Docker machine configured via the standard Docker environment variables.
#### Running Integration tests
List the various test instances available:
2015-10-30 14:04:10 +00:00
```bash
2018-01-29 18:28:28 +00:00
bundle exec kitchen list
2015-10-30 14:04:10 +00:00
```
2017-09-06 10:05:25 +00:00
The platforms and test suites are configured in the `.kitchen.yml` file. Once you know which instance you wish to test, test that instance:
2015-12-11 12:07:13 +00:00
```bash
2017-09-06 10:05:25 +00:00
bundle exec kitchen test < INSTANCE_NAME >
2015-12-11 12:07:13 +00:00
```
2017-09-06 10:05:25 +00:00
You may test all instances in parallel with:
2015-12-11 12:07:13 +00:00
2017-09-06 10:05:25 +00:00
```bash
bundle exec kitchen test -c
2015-12-11 12:07:13 +00:00
```
2018-02-07 14:53:21 +00:00
### AWS Tests
Use the rake task `bundle exec rake test:aws` to test the AWS resources against a pair of real AWS accounts.
2018-03-02 14:11:56 +00:00
Please see [TESTING_AGAINST_AWS.md ](./test/integration/aws/TESTING_AGAINST_AWS.md ) for details on how to setup the needed AWS accounts to perform testing.
2017-01-16 15:14:24 +00:00
2018-04-29 18:00:12 +00:00
### Azure Tests
Use the rake task `bundle exec rake test:azure` to test the Azure resources against an Azure account.
Please see [TESTING_AGAINST_AZURE.md ](./test/integration/aws/TESTING_AGAINST_AZURE.md ) for details on how to setup the needed Azure accounts to perform testing.
