This role provides numerous security-related configurations, providing all-round base protection. It is intended to be compliant with the [DevSec Linux Baseline](https://github.com/dev-sec/linux-baseline).
It configures:
* Configures package management e.g. allows only signed packages
| `os_desktop_enable`| false | true if this is a desktop system, ie Xorg, KDE/GNOME/Unity/etc|
| `os_env_extra_user_paths`| [] | add additional paths to the user's `PATH` variable (default is empty).|
| `os_env_umask`| 027| set default permissions for new files to `750` |
| `os_auth_pw_max_age`| 60 | maximum password age (set to `99999` to effectively disable it) |
| `os_auth_pw_min_age`| 7 | minimum password age (before allowing any other password change)|
| `os_auth_retries`| 5 | the maximum number of authentication attempts, before the account is locked for some time|
| `os_auth_lockout_time`| 600 | time in seconds that needs to pass, if the account was locked due to too many failed authentication attempts|
| `os_auth_timeout`| 60 | authentication timeout in seconds, so login will exit if this time passes|
| `os_auth_allow_homeless`| false | true if to allow users without home to login|
| `os_auth_pam_passwdqc_enable`| true | true if you want to use strong password checking in PAM using passwdqc|
| `os_auth_pam_passwdqc_options`| "min=disabled,disabled,16,12,8" | set to any option line (as a string) that you want to pass to passwdqc|
| `os_security_users_allow`| [] | list of things, that a user is allowed to do. May contain `change_user`.
| `os_security_kernel_enable_module_loading`| true | true if you want to allowed to change kernel modules once the system is running (eg `modprobe`, `rmmod`)|
| `os_security_kernel_enable_core_dump`| false | kernel is crashing or otherwise misbehaving and a kernel core dump is created |
| `os_security_suid_sgid_enforce`| true | true if you want to reduce SUID/SGID bits. There is already a list of items which are searched for configured, but you can also add your own|
| `os_security_suid_sgid_blacklist`| [] | a list of paths which should have their SUID/SGID bits removed|
| `os_security_suid_sgid_whitelist`| [] | a list of paths which should not have their SUID/SGID bits altered|
| `os_security_suid_sgid_remove_from_unknown`| false | true if you want to remove SUID/SGID bits from any file, that is not explicitly configured in a `blacklist`. This will make every Ansible-run search through the mounted filesystems looking for SUID/SGID bits that are not configured in the default and user blacklist. If it finds an SUID/SGID bit, it will be removed, unless this file is in your `whitelist`.|
| `os_security_packages_clean'`| true | removes packages with known issues. See section packages.|
| `ufw_manage_defaults` | true | true means apply all settings with `ufw_` prefix|
| `ufw_ipt_sysctl` | '' | by default it disables IPT_SYSCTL in /etc/default/ufw. If you want to overwrite /etc/sysctl.conf values using ufw - set it to your sysctl dictionary, for example `/etc/ufw/sysctl.conf`
| `ufw_default_input_policy` | DROP | set default input policy of ufw to `DROP` |
| `ufw_default_output_policy` | ACCEPT | set default output policy of ufw to `ACCEPT` |
| `ufw_default_forward_policy` | DROP| set default forward policy of ufw to `DROP` |
Alternatively you can change Ansible's [hash-behaviour](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_configuration.html#hash-behaviour) to `merge`, then you only have to overwrite the single hash you need to. But please be aware that changing the hash-behaviour changes it for all your playbooks and is not recommended by Ansible.
## Local Testing
The preferred way of locally testing the role is to use Docker. You will have to install Docker on your system. See [Get started](https://docs.docker.com/) for a Docker package suitable to for your system.
You can also use vagrant and Virtualbox or VMWare to run tests locally. You will have to install Virtualbox and Vagrant on your system. See [Vagrant Downloads](http://downloads.vagrantup.com/) for a vagrant package suitable for your system. For all our tests we use `test-kitchen`. If you are not familiar with `test-kitchen` please have a look at [their guide](http://kitchen.ci/docs/getting-started).
Next install test-kitchen:
```bash
# Install dependencies
gem install bundler
bundle install
```
### Testing with Docker
```
# fast test on one machine
bundle exec kitchen test default-ubuntu-1404
# test on all machines
bundle exec kitchen test
# for development
bundle exec kitchen create default-ubuntu-1404
bundle exec kitchen converge default-ubuntu-1404
```
### Testing with Virtualbox
```
# fast test on one machine
KITCHEN_YAML=".kitchen.vagrant.yml" bundle exec kitchen test default-ubuntu-1404
# test on all machines
KITCHEN_YAML=".kitchen.vagrant.yml" bundle exec kitchen test
