# VulcanoSec Specs
VulcanoSec specs is 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
All compliance profiles a grouped by `owner/profile`. Let's create an example file profile called `vulcanosec/example`.
mkdir vulcanosec-example
cd vulcanosec-example
touch vmetadata.rb
Information on this profile is stored in `vmetadata.rb`. In our example, it contains:
```ruby
# encoding: utf-8
name "vulcanosec/example"
version "1.0.0"
title "Example Spec profile"
maintainer "Example User"
copyright "Example User"
copyright_email "hello@example.com"
license "Proprietary, All rights reserved"
summary "Verify a small example profile"
description "Full description..."
```
Finally we add our tests to the `spec` folder. Each test file must end with `_spec.rb`:
mkdir spec
touch spec/example_spec.rb
We add a rule to this file, to check the `/tmp` path in our system:
```ruby
# encoding: utf-8
rule "cis-fs-2.1" do # A unique ID for this rule
impact 0.7 # The criticality, if this rule 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
```
This is just a small test to get started, so let's register this profile with the server. We will use API calls to do so:
server="http://myserver:2134/api"
token=$(http post $server/oauth/token -a username:password | jq '.access_token' | tr -d '"')
# run this command from the folder, where vmetadata.rb is located
tar -cz . | http -a $token: $server/owners/vulcanosec/compliance/example/tar
You will see a confirming:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...
You can take a look at the profile in the web UI.
Let's add another spec for checking the SSH server configuration:
touch spec/sshd_spec.rb
It will contain:
```ruby
# encoding: utf-8
# Skip all rules, if SSH doesn't exist on the system
only_if do
command('sshd').exists?
end
# load the configuration file
sshd_conf = SshConf.new('/etc/ssh/sshd_config')
rule "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_conf do
its('Protocol') { should eq('2') }
end
end
rule "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_conf do
its('PermitRootLogin') { should match(/no|without-password/) }
end
end
```
We can upload this file again:
tar -cz . | http -a $token: post $server/owners/vulcanosec/compliance/example/tar
### Upload a profile
Change into the profile's directory:
cd my_profile
It should contain the `vmetadata.rb` and all tests in the `spec` folder.
Add this profile to the server. In our example, we add the profile `vulcanosec/example`.
tar -cz . | http -a $token: post $server/owners/vulcanosec/compliance/example/tar
### Download a profile
To download a profile, follow this simple call to retrieve all data in a `tar.gz` file. To get the `vulcanosec/example` profile, call:
http -a $token: get $server/owners/vulcanosec/compliance/example/tar > example.tar.gz
Or to directly extract it:
http -a $token: get $server/owners/vulcanosec/compliance/example/tar | tar xzf -
cd vulcanosec/example
