InSpec Documentation
|
|
=====================================================
|
|
|
|
InSpec a collection of resources and matchers to test the compliance of your nodes. This documentation provides an introduction to this mechanism and shows how to write custom tests.
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
At first, we add our tests to the ``test`` folder. Each test file must end with ``_spec.rb``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
mkdir test
|
|
touch test/example_spec.rb
|
|
|
|
We add a control to this file, to check the ``/tmp`` path in our system:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ruby
|
|
|
|
# encoding: utf-8
|
|
|
|
control "cis-fs-2.1" do # A unique ID for this control
|
|
impact 0.7 # The criticality, if this control fails.
|
|
title "Create separate /tmp partition" # A human-readable title
|
|
desc "An optional description..."
|
|
describe file('/tmp') do # The actual test
|
|
it { should be_mounted }
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
|
|
Let's add another spec for checking the SSH server configuration:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
touch test/sshd_spec.rb
|
|
|
|
It will contain:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ruby
|
|
|
|
# encoding: utf-8
|
|
|
|
# Skip all controls, if SSH doesn't exist on the system
|
|
only_if do
|
|
command('sshd').exist?
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
control "sshd-11" do
|
|
impact 1.0
|
|
title "Server: Set protocol version to SSHv2"
|
|
desc "
|
|
Set the SSH protocol version to 2. Don't use legacy
|
|
insecure SSHv1 connections anymore.
|
|
"
|
|
describe sshd_config do
|
|
its('Protocol') { should eq('2') }
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
control "sshd-7" do
|
|
impact 1.0
|
|
title "Server: Do not permit root-based login with password."
|
|
desc "
|
|
To reduce the potential to gain full privileges
|
|
of a system in the course of an attack (by either misconfiguration
|
|
or vulnerabilities), do not allow login as root with password
|
|
"
|
|
describe sshd_config do
|
|
its('PermitRootLogin') { should match(/no|without-password/) }
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now, we are ready to run the tests locally:
|
|
|
|
bundle exec bin/inspec exec demo/test/example_spec.rb
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
# run tests individually
|
|
$ inspec exec test/example_spec.rb
|
|
$ inspec exec test/sshd_spec.rb
|
|
|
|
# if you want to run all test located within the directory
|
|
$ inspec exec ./test
|
|
|
|
|
|
Stability Index
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Every available InSpec resource will indicate its stability. As InSpec matures, certain parts are more reliable than others. Brand new features are likely to be redesigned and marked as such.
|
|
|
|
The stability indices are as follows:
|
|
|
|
* ``Stability: Deprecated`` - This features will be removed in future versions, because its known for being problematic. Do not rely on it.
|
|
* ``Stability: Experimental`` - New features may change or are removed in future versions
|
|
* ``Stability: Stable`` - API is well established and proofed. Maintaining compatibility is a high priority
|
|
* ``Stability: Locked`` - Only security and performance fixes are allowed
|
