#### File hash collection with IMA

`Post` takes the `imaHash` parameter, when turned to `true` (by default to
`false`) it adds file hashes in LSM events calculated by Linux integrity subsystem.
The following list of LSM hooks is supported:

- file_open
- mmap_file
- bprm_check_security

First, you need to be sure that LSB BPF is [enabled](https://tetragon.io/docs/concepts/tracing-policy/hooks/#lsm-bpf).

To verify if IMA-measurement is available use the following command:

```shell
cat /boot/config-$(uname -r) | grep "CONFIG_IMA\|CONFIG_INTEGRITY"
```

The output should be similar to this if IMA-measurement is supported:

```
CONFIG_INTEGRITY=y
CONFIG_IMA=y
```

If provided above conditions are met, you can enable IMA-measurement by modifying `/etc/deault/grub`:

```
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="lsm=integrity,bpf ima_policy=tcb"
```

Then, update the grub configuration and restart the system.

`ima_policy=` is used to define which files will be measured. `tcb` measures all executables run,
all mmap'd files for execution (such as shared libraries), all kernel modules loaded,
and all firmware loaded. Additionally, a files opened for read by root are measured as well.
`ima_policy=` can be specified multiple times, and the result is the union of the policies.
To know more about `ima_policy` you can follow this [link](https://ima-doc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ima-policy.html).


The provided example of `TracingPolicy` collects hashes of executed binaries from
`zsh` and `bash` interpreters:

```yaml
apiVersion: cilium.io/v1alpha1
kind: TracingPolicy
spec:
lsmhooks:
- hook: "bprm_check_security"
args:
- index: 0
type: "linux_binprm"
selectors:
- matchBinaries:
- operator: "In"
values:
- "/usr/bin/zsh"
- "/usr/bin/bash"
matchActions:
- action: Post
imaHash: true
```

LSM event with file hash can look like this:

```json
{
"process_lsm": {
"process": {
...
},
"parent": {
...
},
"function_name": "bprm_check_security",
"policy_name": "file-integrity-monitoring",
"args": [
{
"linux_binprm_arg": {
"path": "/usr/bin/grep",
"permission": "-rwxr-xr-x"
}
}
],
"action": "KPROBE_ACTION_POST",
"ima_hash": "sha256:73abb4280520053564fd4917286909ba3b054598b32c9cdfaf1d733e0202cc96"
},
}
```

`ima_hash` field contains information about hashing algorithm and the hash value itself
separated by ':'.

This output can be enhanced in a more human friendly using the
`tetra getevents -e PROCESS_LSM -o compact` command.
