# CIS Debian 7/8/9 Hardening
Modular Debian 7/8/9 security hardening scripts based on [cisecurity.org](https://www.cisecurity.org)
recommendations. We use it at [OVH](https://www.ovh.com) to harden our PCI-DSS infrastructure.
```console
$ bin/hardening.sh --audit-all

## Quickstart
```console
$ git clone https://github.com/ovh/debian-cis.git && cd debian-cis
$ cp debian/default /etc/default/cis-hardening
$ sed -i "s#CIS_ROOT_DIR=.*#CIS_ROOT_DIR='$(pwd)'#" /etc/default/cis-hardening
$ bin/hardening/1.1_install_updates.sh --audit-all

```
## Usage
### Configuration
Hardening scripts are in ``bin/hardening``. Each script has a corresponding
configuration file in ``etc/conf.d/[script_name].cfg``.
Each hardening script can be individually enabled from its configuration file.
For example, this is the default configuration file for ``disable_system_accounts``:
```
# Configuration for script of same name
status=disabled
# Put here your exceptions concerning admin accounts shells separated by spaces
EXCEPTIONS=""
```
``status`` parameter may take 3 values:
- ``disabled`` (do nothing): The script will not run.
- ``audit`` (RO): The script will check if any change *should* be applied.
- ``enabled`` (RW): The script will check if any change should be done and automatically apply what it can.
Global configuration is in ``etc/hardening.cfg``. This file controls the log level
as well as the backup directory. Whenever a script is instructed to edit a file, it
will create a timestamped backup in this directory.
### Run aka "Harden your distro"
To run the checks and apply the fixes, run ``bin/hardening.sh``.
This command has 2 main operation modes:
- ``--audit``: Audit your system with all enabled and audit mode scripts
- ``--apply``: Audit your system with all enabled and audit mode scripts and apply changes for enabled scripts
Additionally, ``--audit-all`` can be used to force running all auditing scripts,
including disabled ones. this will *not* change the system.
``--audit-all-enable-passed`` can be used as a quick way to kickstart your
configuration. It will run all scripts in audit mode. If a script passes,
it will automatically be enabled for future runs. Do NOT use this option
if you have already started to customize your configuration.
``--sudo``: Audit your system as a normal user, but allow sudo escalation to read
specific root read-only files. You need to provide a sudoers file in /etc/sudoers.d/
with NOPASWD option, since checks are executed with ``sudo -n`` option, that will
not prompt for a password.
``--batch``: While performing system audit, this option sets LOGLEVEL to 'ok' and
captures all output to print only one line once the check is done, formatted like :
OK|KO OK|KO|WARN{subcheck results} [OK|KO|WARN{...}]
## Hacking
**Getting the source**
```console
$ git clone https://github.com/ovh/debian-cis.git
```
**Building a debian Package** (the hacky way)
```console
$ debuild -us -uc
```
**Adding a custom hardening script**
```console
$ cp src/skel bin/hardening/99.99_custom_script.sh
$ chmod +x bin/hardening/99.99_custom_script.sh
$ cp src/skel.cfg etc/conf.d/99.99_custom_script.cfg
```
Code your check explaining what it does then if you want to test
```console
$ sed -i "s/status=.+/status=enabled/" etc/conf.d/99.99_custom_script.cfg
$ ./bin/hardening/99.99_custom_script.sh
```
## Functional testing
Functional tests are available. They are to be run in a Docker environment.
```console
$ ./tests/docker_build_and_run_tests.sh <target> [name of test script...]
```
With `target` being like `debian8` or `debian9`.
Running without script arguments will run all tests in `./tests/hardening/` directory.
Or you can specify one or several test script to be run.
This will build a new Docker image from the current state of the projet and run
a container that will assess a blank Debian system compliance for each check.
For hardening audit points the audit is expected to fail, then be fixed so that
running the audit a second time will succeed.
For vulnerable items, the audit is expected to succeed on a blank
system, then the functional tests will introduce a weak point, that is expected
to be detected when running the audit test a second time. Finally running the `apply`
part of debian-cis script will restore a compliance state that is expected to be
assed by running the audit check a third time.
Functional tests can make use of the following helper functions :
* `describe <test description>`
* `run <usecase> <audit_script> <audit_script_options>`
* `register_test <test content (see below)>`
* `retvalshoudbe <integer>` check the script return value
* `contain "<SAMPLE TEXT>"` check that the output contains the following text
In order to write your own functional test, you will find a code skeleton in
`./src/skel.test`.
