Hardened Debian GNU/Linux and CentOS 8 distro auditing.
The main test environment is in debian GNU/Linux 9/10 and CentOS 8, and other versions are not fully tested. There are no implementations of desktop and SELinux related items in this release.
The code framework is based on the OVH-debian-cis project, Modified some of the original implementations according to the features of Debian 9/10 and CentOS 8, added and implemented check items for STIG Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_7_V2R5STIG Ubuntu V1R2 and cisecurity.org recommendations, and also added and implemented some check items by the HardenedLinux community. The audit and apply functions of the infrastructure are implemented, and the automatic fix function is implemented for the items that can be automatically fixed.

[...]Usage
Pre-Install
If use Network install from a minimal CD to installed Debian GNU/Linux, need install packages before use the hardening tool.
sudo apt-get install -y bc net-tools pciutils network-manager sudo yum install -y bc net-tools pciutils NetworkManager epel-release Pre-Set
You must set a password for all users before hardening. Otherwise, you will not be able to log in after the hardening is completed. Example(OS user: root and test):
$ sudo -s
# passwd
# passwd test 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.
- Generate etc/conf.d/[script_name].cfg by audit-all when first use
# bash bin/hardening.sh --audit-all- Enable [script_name].cfg by set-hardening-level Use the command to set the hardening level to make the corresponding level audit entry take effect.
# bash bin/hardening.sh --set-hardening-level <level>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 (After the hardened, you must perform the "After remediation" section)
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
--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.Use the command to harden your OS:
# bash bin/hardening.sh --apply After remediation (Very important)
When exec --apply and set-hardening-level are set to 5 (the highest level), you need to do the following:
- When applying 9.5(Restrict Access to the su Command), you must use the root account to log in to the OS because ordinary users cannot perform subsequent operations. If you can only use ssh for remote login, you must use the su command when the normal user logs in. Then do the following:
# sed -i '/^[^#].*pam_wheel.so.*/s/^/# &/' /etc/pam.d/su - When applying 7.4.4_hosts_deny.sh, the OS cannot be connected through the ssh service, so you need to set allow access host list on /etc/hosts.allow, example:
# echo "ALL: 192.168.1. 192.168.5." >> /etc/hosts.allow- Set capabilities for usual user, example(user name is test):
# sed -i "/^root/a\test ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL" /etc/sudoers - Set basic firewall rules Set the corresponding firewall rules according to the applications used. HardenedLinux community for Debian GNU/Linux basic firewall rules:
Iptabels format rules:
etc.iptables.rules.v4.sh to do the following:
$ INTERFACENAME="your network interfacename(Example eth0)"
$ sudo bash docs/configurations/etc.iptables.rules.v4.sh $INTERFACENAME
$ sudo -s
# iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v4
# ip6tables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v6 nft format rules:
nftables.conf to do the following(your network interfacename(Example eth0)):
$ sed -i 's/^define int_if = ens33/define int_if = eth0/g' etc.nftables.conf
$ sudo nft -f ./etc.nftables.conf - When all repairs are completed. --final method will:
- Use passwd command to change the password of the regular and root user to apply the password complexity and robustness of the pam_cracklib module configuration.
- Aide reinitializes.
$ sudo bin/hardening.sh --finalSpecial Note
Some check items check a variety of situations and are interdependent, they must be applied (fix) multiple times, and the OS must be a reboot after each applies (fix).
Items that must be applied after the first application(reboot after is better)
8.1.32 Because this item is set, the audit rules will not be added.
Items that must be applied after all application is ok
8.4.1
8.4.2
These are all related to the aide. It is best to fix all the items after they have been fixed to fix the integrity of the database in the system.
Items that need to be fix twice
8.1.1.2
8.1.1.3
8.1.12
