# shadow
|
|
|
|
Use the `shadow` InSpec audit resource to test the contents of `/etc/shadow`, which contains password details that are only readable by the `root` user. The format for `/etc/shadow` includes:
|
|
|
|
* A username
|
|
* The password for that user (on newer systems passwords should be stored in `/etc/shadow` )
|
|
* The last time a password was changed
|
|
* The minimum number of days a password must exist, before it may be changed
|
|
* The maximum number of days after which a password must be changed
|
|
* The number of days a user is warned about an expiring password
|
|
* The number of days a user must be inactive before the user account is disabled
|
|
* The number of days a user account has been disabled
|
|
|
|
These entries are defined as a colon-delimited row in the file, one row per user:
|
|
|
|

## Syntax
|
|
|
|
A `shadow` resource block declares one (or more) users and associated user information to be tested:
|
|
|
|
describe shadow do
|
|
its('users') { should_not include 'forbidden_user' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
or with a filter:
|
|
|
|
describe shadow.uid(filter) do
|
|
its('users') { should cmp 'root' }
|
|
its('count') { should eq 1 }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
where
|
|
|
|
* `homes`, `gids`, `passwords`, `shells`, `uids`, and `users` are valid accessors for `passwd`
|
|
* `filter` one (or more) arguments, for example: `passwd.users(/name/)` used to define filtering; `filter` may take any of the following arguments: `count` (retrieves the number of entries), `lines` (provides raw `passwd` lines), and `params` (returns an array of maps for all entries)
|

|
## Matchers
|
|
|
|
This InSpec audit resource has the following matchers:
|
|
|
|
### be
|
|
|
|
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_be" %>
|
|
|
|
### cmp
|
|
|
|
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_cmp" %>
|
|
|
|
### count
|
|
|
|
The `count` matcher tests the number of times the named user appears in `/etc/shadow`:
|
|
|
|
its('count') { should eq 1 }
|
|
|
|
TThis matcher is best used in conjunction with filters. For example:
|
|
|
|
describe shadow.users('dannos') do
|
|
its('count') { should eq 1 }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### eq
|
|
|
|
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_eq" %>
|
|
|
|
### expiry_dates
|
|
|
|
The `expiry_dates` matcher tests the number of days a user account has been disabled:
|
|
|
|
its('expiry_dates') { should eq '' }
|
|
|
|
### inactive_days
|
|
|
|
The `inactive_days` matcher tests the number of days a user must be inactive before the user account is disabled:
|
|
|
|
its('inactive_days') { should eq '' }
|
|
|
|
### include
|
|
|
|
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_include" %>
|
|
|
|
### last_changes
|
|
|
|
The `last_changes` matcher tests the last time a password was changed:
|
|
|
|
its('last_changes') { should eq '' }
|
|
|
|
### match
|
|
|
|
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_match" %>
|
|
|
|
### max_days
|
|
|
|
The `max_days` matcher tests the maximum number of days after which a password must be changed:
|
|
|
|
its('max_days') { should eq 90 }
|
|
|
|
### min_days
|
|
|
|
The `min_days` matcher tests the minimum number of days a password must exist, before it may be changed:
|
|
|
|
its('min_days') { should eq 0 }
|
|
|
|
### passwords
|
|
|
|
The `passwords` matcher tests if passwords are
|
|
|
|
* Encrypted
|
|
* Have direct logins disabled, as indicated by an asterisk (`*`)
|
|
* In the `/etc/shadow` file, as indicated by the letter x (`x`)
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
its('passwords') { should eq ['x'] }
|
|
its('passwords') { should cmp '*' }
|
|
|
|
### users
|
|
|
|
The `users` matcher tests if the user name exists `/etc/shadow`:
|
|
|
|
its('users') { should eq 'root' }
|
|
|
|
### warn_days
|
|
|
|
The `warn_days` matcher tests the number of days a user is warned about an expiring password:
|
|
|
|
its('warn_days') { should eq 7 }
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
|
|
|
|
### Test for a forbidden user
|
|
|
|
describe shadow do
|
|
its('users') { should_not include 'forbidden_user' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### Test that a user appears one time
|
|
|
|
describe shadow.users('bin') do
|
|
its('passwords') { should cmp 'x' }
|
|
its('count') { should eq 1 }
|
|
end
