RHEL/CentOS 8 Goss config

Overview

based on STIG v1r13 24th Jan 2024

Ability to audit a system using a lightweight binary to check the current state.

This is:

  • very small 11MB
  • lightweight
  • self contained

It works using a set of configuration files and directories to audit STIG of RHEL/CentOS 7 servers. These files/directories correlate to the STIG Level and STIG_ID

Tested on

  • RHEL8
  • CentOS8
  • Rocky8
  • Alma-Linux 8

feedback on any differences between OSs please raise an issue

Requirements

You must have goss available to your host you would like to test.

You must have sudo/root access to the system as some commands require privilege information.

Assuming you have already clone this repository you can run goss from where you wish.

Please refer to the audit documentation for usage.

This also works alongside the Ansible Lockdown RHEL8-STIG role

Which will:

  • install
  • audit
  • remediate
  • audit

variables

These are found in vars/STIG.yml Please refer to the file for all options and their meanings

STIG listed variable for every control/benchmark can be turned on/off or section

The variable files

In this case installed or skipped using the standard name for a package to be installed or _skip to skip a test.

Extra settings

Some sections can have several options in that case the skip flag maybe passed to the test or exact details relating to your requirements e.g.

  • rhel7stig_use_gui
  • rhel7stig_is_router
