# InSpec: Inspect Your Infrastructure [![Join the chat at https://gitter.im/chef/inspec](https://badges.gitter.im/chef/inspec.svg)](https://gitter.im/chef/inspec?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge) [![Build Status Master](https://travis-ci.org/chef/inspec.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/chef/inspec) [![Build Status Master](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/github/chef/inspec?branch=master&svg=true&passingText=master%20-%20Ok&pendingText=master%20-%20Pending&failingText=master%20-%20Failing)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Chef/inspec/branch/master) InSpec is an open-source testing framework for infrastructure with a human- and machine-readable language for specifying compliance, security and policy requirements. ```ruby # Disallow insecure protocols by testing describe package('telnetd') do   it { should_not be_installed } end describe inetd_conf do   its("telnet") { should eq nil } end ``` InSpec makes it easy to run your tests wherever you need. More options are found in our [CLI docs](http://inspec.io/docs/reference/cli/). ```bash # run test locally inspec exec test.rb # run test on remote host on SSH inspec exec test.rb -t ssh://user@hostname -i /path/to/key # run test on remote windows host on WinRM inspec exec test.rb -t winrm://Administrator@windowshost --password 'your-password' # run test on docker container inspec exec test.rb -t docker://container_id ``` # Features - Built-in Compliance: Compliance no longer occurs at the end of the release cycle - Targeted Tests: InSpec writes tests that specifically target compliance issues - Metadata: Includes the metadata required by security and compliance pros - Easy Testing: Includes a command-line interface to run tests quickly ## Installation InSpec requires Ruby ( >1.9 ). ### Install it via rubygems.org When installing from source, gem dependencies may require ruby build tools to be installed. For CentOS/RedHat/Fedora: ```bash yum -y install ruby ruby-devel make gcc ``` For Ubuntu: ```bash apt-get -y install ruby ruby-dev gcc make ``` To install inspec from [rubygems](https://rubygems.org/): ```bash gem install inspec ``` ### Usage via Docker Download the image and define an alias for convenience: ``` docker pull chef/inspec alias inspec='docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/share chef/inspec' ``` If you call inspec from cli, it automatically mounts the current directory into the work directory. Therefore you can easily use local tests and key files. Note: Only files in the current directory are available to the container. ``` $ 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 ``` ### Install it from source That requires [bundler](http://bundler.io/): ```bash bundle install bundle exec bin/inspec help ``` To install it as a gem locally, run: ```bash gem build inspec.gemspec gem install inspec-*.gem ``` 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. ### Install via Habitat Currently, this method of installation only supports Linux. See the [Habitat site](https://www.habitat.sh/) for more information. Download the `hab` binary from the [Habitat](https://www.habitat.sh/docs/get-habitat/) site. ```bash hab pkg install chef/inspec export PATH="$(hab pkg path core/ruby)/bin:$(hab pkg path chef/inspec)/bin:$PATH" inspec ``` ### Run InSpec You should now be able to run: ```bash $ inspec --help Commands: 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) ``` # 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 }   its('protocols') {should include 'tcp'} 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 ``` * Test your `kitchen.yml` file to verify that only Vagrant is configured as the driver. ```ruby describe yaml('.kitchen.yml') do its('driver.name') { should eq('vagrant') } end ``` Also have a look at our examples for: - [Using InSpec with Test Kitchen & Chef](https://github.com/chef/inspec/tree/master/examples/kitchen-chef) - [Using InSpec with Test Kitchen & Puppet](https://github.com/chef/inspec/tree/master/examples/kitchen-puppet) - [Using InSpec with Test Kitchen & Ansible](https://github.com/chef/inspec/tree/master/examples/kitchen-ansible) - [Implementing an InSpec profile](https://github.com/chef/inspec/tree/master/examples/profile) ## Or tests: Testing for a OR b * 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 ``` ## Command Line Usage ### exec Run tests against different targets: ```bash # run test locally inspec exec test.rb # run test on remote host on SSH inspec exec test.rb -t ssh://user@hostname # run test on remote windows host on WinRM inspec exec test.rb -t winrm://Administrator@windowshost --password 'your-password' # run test on docker container inspec exec test.rb -t docker://container_id # run with sudo inspec exec test.rb --sudo [--sudo-password ...] [--sudo-options ...] [--sudo_command ...] # run in a subshell inspec exec test.rb --shell [--shell-options ...] [--shell-command ...] ``` ### detect Verify your configuration and detect ```bash id=$( docker run -dti ubuntu:14.04 /bin/bash ) inspec detect -t docker://$id ``` Which will provide you with: ``` {"family":"ubuntu","release":"14.04","arch":null} ``` ## Supported OS Remote Targets Platform | Versions | Architectures ---- | --- | --- | --- AIX | 6.1, 7.1, 7.2 | ppc64 CentOS | 5, 6, 7 | i386, x86_64 Debian | 7, 8 | i386, x86_64 FreeBSD | 9, 10 | i386, amd64 Mac OS X | 10.9, 10.10, 10.11 | x86_64 Oracle Enterprise Linux | 5, 6, 7 | i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux | 5, 6, 7 | i386, x86_64 Solaris | 10, 11 | sparc, x86 Windows | 7, 8, 8.1, 2008*, 2008R2* , 2012, 2012R2 | x86, x86_64 Ubuntu Linux | | x86, x86_64 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server | 11, 12 | x86_64 Scientific Linux | 5.x, 6.x and 7.x | i386, x86_64 Fedora | | x86_64 OpenSUSE | 13.1/13.2/42.1 | x86_64 OmniOS | | x86_64 Gentoo Linux | | x86_64 Arch Linux | | x86_64 HP-UX | 11.31 | ia64 * For Windows 2008 and 2008 R2 an updated Powershell (Windows Management Framework 5.0) is required.

[![InSpec health](https://graphs.waffle.io/chef/inspec/throughput.svg)](https://waffle.io/chef/inspec/metrics/throughput) ## Testing InSpec We perform `unit`, `resource` and `integration` tests. * `unit` tests ensure the intended behaviour of the implementation * `resource` tests run against docker containers * `integration` tests run against VMs via test-kitchen and [kitchen-inspec](https://github.com/chef/kitchen-inspec) ### Unit tests ```bash bundle exec rake test ``` If you like to run only one test, use ```bash bundle exec ruby -W -Ilib:test test/unit/resources/user_test.rb ``` ### Resource tests Resource tests make sure the backend execution layer behaves as expected. These tests will take a while, as a lot of different operating systems and configurations are being tested. You will require: * docker Run `resource` tests with ```bash bundle exec rake test:resources config=test/test.yaml bundle exec rake test:resources config=test/test-extra.yaml ``` ### Integration tests These tests download various virtual machines, to ensure InSpec is working as expected across different operating systems. You will require: * vagrant with virtualbox * test-kitchen **Run `integration` tests with vagrant:** ```bash KITCHEN_YAML=.kitchen.vagrant.yml bundle exec kitchen test ``` **Run `integration` tests with AWS EC2:** ```bash export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=enteryouryourkey export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=enteryoursecreykey export AWS_KEYPAIR_NAME=enteryoursshkeyid export EC2_SSH_KEY_PATH=~/.ssh/id_aws.pem KITCHEN_YAML=.kitchen.ec2.yml bundle exec kitchen test ``` In addition you may need to add your ssh key to `.kitchen.ec2.yml` ``` transport: ssh_key: /Users/chartmann/aws/aws_chartmann.pem username: ec2-user ``` ## License | | | | ------ | --- | | **Author:** | Dominik Richter () | | **Author:** | Christoph Hartmann () | | **Copyright:** | Copyright (c) 2015 Chef Software Inc. | | **Copyright:** | Copyright (c) 2015 Vulcano Security GmbH. | | **License:** | Apache License, Version 2.0 | Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); you may not use this file except in compliance with the License.
