A simple cookbook to install auditd and provided rulesets. Rulesets included in the OS auditd/audit package as examples are based on 4 established standards:
- Controlled Access Protection Profile (CAPP)
- Labeled Security Protection Profile (LSPP)
- National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM)
- Security Technical Implementation Guides
The OS package provides the client side tools for working with the linux kernel audit framework.
- Debian/Ubuntu
- RHEL/CentOS/Scientific/Amazon/Oracle 6+
- Chef 12.7+
- none
- node['auditd']['ruleset'] - ruleset to use, either "default" (the default if unset) or one of the provided examples
- node['auditd']['backlog'] - backlog size, default is 320 should be larger for busy systems
If you're using one of the default rulesets set the correct attribute based on the ruleset desired, one of:
- "capp" : Controlled Access Protection Profile
- "lspp" : Labeled Security Protection Profile
- "nispom" : National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM)
- "stig" : Security Technical Implementation Guides
- "cis" : Center for Internet Security auditd recommendations
And include recipe[auditd::rules] in your run list. You can also set the attribute node['auditd']['ruleset'] to the name of a custom rule template to be used instead of one of the default rules.
If you are using the recipe from a wrapper cookbook, include the default recipe recipe[auditd] to setup the service and use the auditd_ruleset resource to place your rule template of choice.
If you are not satisfied with any of the provided templates, you can specify the cookbook attribute in auditd_ruleset to use your own set of rules. In this case, do not include recipe[auditd::rules].
Use the auditd::remove recipe to uninstall auditd.
