CIS Docker Benchmark - InSpec Profile

Description

This InSpec compliance profile implement the CIS Docker 1.13.0 Benchmark in an automated way to provide security best-practice tests around Docker daemon and containers in a production environment.

InSpec is an open-source run-time framework and rule language used to specify compliance, security, and policy requirements for testing any node in your infrastructure.

Requirements

• at least InSpec version 2.3.23
• Docker 1.13+

Platform

• Debian 8
• Ubuntu 16.04
• CentOS 7

Attributes

We use a yml attribute file to steer the configuration, the following options are available:

• trusted_user: vagrant define trusted user to control Docker daemon.
• authorization_plugin: authz-broker define authorization plugin to manage access to Docker daemon.
• log_driver: syslog define preferable way to store logs.
• log_opts: /syslog-address/ define Docker daemon log-opts.
• registry_cert_path: /etc/docker/certs.d directory contains various Docker registry directories.
• registry_name: /etc/docker/certs.d/registry_hostname:port directory contain certificate certain Docker registry.
• registry_ca_file: /etc/docker/certs.d/registry_hostname:port/ca.crt certificate file for a certain Docker registry certificate files.
• container_user: vagrant define user within containers.
• app_armor_profile: docker-default define apparmor profile for Docker containers.
• selinux_profile: /label\:level\:s0-s0\:c1023/ define SELinux profile for Docker containers.
• container_capadd: null define needed capabilities for containers. example: container_capadd: NET_ADMIN,SYS_ADMIN
• managable_container_number: 25 keep number of containers on a host to a manageable total.
• daemon_tlscacert : /etc/docker/ssl/ca.pem configure the certificate authority.
• daemon_tlscert: /etc/docker/ssl/server_cert.pem configure the server certificate.
• daemon_tlskey: /etc/docker/ssl/server_key.pem configure the server key.
• swarm_mode: inactive configure the swarm mode.
• swarm_max_manager_nodes: 3 configure the maximum number of swarm leaders.
• swarm_port: 2377 configure the swarm port.
• benchmark_version to execute also the old controls from previous benchmarks, e.g. set it to 1.12.0 to execute also the tests from cis-benchmark-1.12.0 (which is the default).

These settings can be overridden using an attributes file (e.g. --attrs <attributefile.yml>). See sample_attributes.yml as an example.

Usage

InSpec makes it easy to run your tests wherever you need. More options listed here: InSpec cli

# run profile locally
$ git clone https://github.com/dev-sec/cis-docker-benchmark
$ inspec exec cis-docker-benchmark

# run profile locally and directly from Github
$ inspec exec https://github.com/dev-sec/cis-docker-benchmark

# run profile on remote host via SSH
inspec exec cis-docker-benchmark -t ssh://user@hostname -i /path/to/key

# run profile on remote host via SSH with sudo
inspec exec cis-docker-benchmark -t ssh://user@hostname -i /path/to/key --sudo

# run profile on remote host via SSH with sudo and define attribute value
inspec exec cis-docker-benchmark --attrs sample_attributes.yml

# run profile direct from inspec supermarket
inspec supermarket exec dev-sec/cis-docker-benchmark -t ssh://user@hostname --key-files private_key --sudo

Run individual controls

In order to verify individual controls, just provide the control ids to InSpec:

inspec exec cis-docker-benchmark --controls 'cis-docker-benchmark-1.4 cis-docker-benchmark-1.5'
