[![Build status](https://badge.buildkite.com/bf4c5fdc3858cc9f8c8bab8376e8e40d625ad046df9d4d8619.svg?branch=main)](https://buildkite.com/chef-oss/inspec-inspec-main-verify)
[![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/inspec/inspec/badge.svg?branch=main)](https://coveralls.io/github/inspec/inspec?branch=main)
Chef 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
```
Chef InSpec makes it easy to run your tests wherever you need. More options are found in our [CLI docs](https://docs.chef.io/inspec/cli/).
```bash
# run test locally
inspec exec test.rb
# run test on remote host via SSH
inspec exec test.rb -t ssh://user@hostname -i /path/to/key
# run test on remote host using SSH agent private key authentication. Requires Chef InSpec 1.7.1
inspec exec test.rb -t ssh://user@hostname
# run test on remote windows host via WinRM
inspec exec test.rb -t winrm://Administrator@windowshost --password 'your-password'
# run test on remote windows host via WinRM as a domain user
inspec exec test.rb -t winrm://windowshost --user 'UserName@domain' --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: Chef 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
Chef InSpec requires Ruby ( >= 3.0.3 ).
All currently supported versions of Chef InSpec (4.0 and later) require accepting the EULA to use. Please visit the [license acceptance page](https://docs.chef.io/licensing/accept/) on the Chef docs site for more information.
### Install as package
The Chef InSpec package is available for MacOS, RedHat, Ubuntu and Windows. Download the latest package at [Chef InSpec Downloads](https://www.chef.io/downloads/tools/inspec) or install Chef InSpec via script:
```text
# RedHat, Ubuntu, and macOS
curl https://chefdownload-commercial.chef.io/install.sh?license_id=<LICENSE_ID> | sudo bash -s -- -P inspec
# Windows
. { iwr -useb https://chefdownload-commercial.chef.io/install.ps1?license_id=<LICENSE_ID> } | iex; install -project inspec
```
Replace `<LICENSE_ID>` with your license ID.
For more information about the install scripts, see the [Chef Install Script documentation](/chef_install_script/).
### Install it via rubygems.org
Installing Chef InSpec from source may require installing ruby build tools to manage gem dependencies. (A compiler-free variant is available with reduced functionality; use `inspec-core-bin` and `inspec-core`.)
To install build tools, use your package manager.
For CentOS/RedHat/Fedora:
```bash
yum -y install ruby ruby-devel make gcc gcc-c++
```
For Ubuntu:
```bash
apt-get -y install ruby ruby-dev gcc g++ make
```
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
```
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:
```bash
gem install inspec
```
### Usage via Docker
Download the image and define a function for convenience:
For Linux:
```
docker pull chef/inspec
function inspec { docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/share chef/inspec "$@"; }
```
For Windows (PowerShell):
```
docker pull chef/inspec
function inspec { docker run -it --rm -v "$(pwd):/share" chef/inspec $args; }
```
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.
```
$ 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
```
To scan the docker containers running on the host using the containerized InSpec, we need to bind-mount the Unix socket `/var/run/docker.sock` from the host machine to the InSpec Container.
```
docker pull chef/inspec
function inspec { docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/share -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock chef/inspec "$@"; }
```
`/var/run/docker.sock` is the Unix socket the Docker daemon listens on by default.
### Install it from source
Note that installing from OS packages from [the download page](https://www.chef.io/downloads/tools/inspec) is the preferred method.
That requires [bundler](http://bundler.io/):
```bash
bundle install
bundle exec 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 Chef Habitat
Currently, this method of installation only supports Linux. See the [Chef Habitat site](https://www.habitat.sh/) for more information.
Download the `hab` binary from the [Chef Habitat](https://www.habitat.sh/docs/get-habitat/) site.
```bash
hab pkg install chef/inspec --binlink
inspec
```
### Run Chef 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 automate SUBCOMMAND ... # Chef Automate commands
inspec compliance SUBCOMMAND ... # Chef Automate commands (backwards compatible alias)
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
```
* Test your `kitchen.yml` file to verify that only Vagrant is configured as the driver. The %w() formatting will
pass rubocop linting and allow you to access nested mappings.
```ruby
describe yaml('.kitchen.yml') do
its(%w(driver name)) { should eq('vagrant') }
end
```
Also have a look at our examples for:
- [Using Chef InSpec with Test Kitchen & Chef Infra](https://github.com/chef/inspec/tree/main/examples/kitchen-chef)
- [Using Chef InSpec with Test Kitchen & Puppet](https://github.com/chef/inspec/tree/main/examples/kitchen-puppet)
- [Using Chef InSpec with Test Kitchen & Ansible](https://github.com/chef/inspec/tree/main/examples/kitchen-ansible)
- [Implementing an Chef InSpec profile](https://github.com/chef/inspec/tree/main/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 test on podman container
inspec exec test.rb -t podman://container_id --podman-url "unix:///run/user/1000/podman/podman.sock"
# 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 ...]
# run a profile targeting AWS using env vars
inspec exec test.rb -t aws://
# or store your AWS credentials in your ~/.aws/credentials profiles file
inspec exec test.rb -t aws://us-east-2/my-profile
# run a profile targeting Azure using env vars
inspec exec test.rb -t azure://
# or store your Azure credentials in your ~/.azure/credentials profiles file
inspec exec test.rb -t azure://subscription_id
```
### detect
Verify your configuration and detect
```bash
id=$( docker run -dti ubuntu:14.04 /bin/bash )
inspec detect -t docker://$id
```

## Testing Chef InSpec
We offer `unit` and `integration` tests.
- `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)
### Unit tests
```bash
bundle exec rake test
```
If you like to run only one test file:
```bash
bundle exec m test/unit/resources/user_test.rb
```
You may also run a single test within a file by line number:
```bash
bundle exec m test/unit/resources/user_test.rb -l 123
```
### Integration tests
These tests download various virtual machines, to ensure Chef InSpec is working as expected across different operating systems.
These tests require the following gems:
- test-kitchen
- kitchen-dokken
- kitchen-inspec
These gems are provided via the `integration` group in the project's Gemfile.
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:
```bash
KITCHEN_YAML=kitchen.dokken.yml bundle exec kitchen list
```
The platforms and test suites are configured in the `kitchen.dokken.yml` file. Once you know which instance you wish to test, test that instance:
```bash
KITCHEN_YAML=kitchen.dokken.yml bundle exec kitchen test <INSTANCE_NAME>
```
You may test all instances in parallel with:
```bash
KITCHEN_YAML=kitchen.dokken.yml bundle exec kitchen test -c 3
```
