## Entry 2026-02-17: Project Assessment and Test Coverage Analysis
|
||||
## Entry 2026-02-17 (Session 2): FIM, Audit, SSH Security Enhancements
|
||||
|
||||
### Context
|
||||
Continued session focused on closing compliance gaps for CIS, FedRAMP, and CMMC.
|
||||
Added File Integrity Monitoring (FIM), comprehensive audit logging, and SSH client-only
|
||||
configuration. Resolved all shellcheck warnings and added git safety documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
### Changes Implemented
|
||||
|
||||
1. **File Integrity Monitoring (AIDE)**
|
||||
- Added `config/hooks/live/aide-setup.sh`
|
||||
- Configured to monitor /etc, /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /lib
|
||||
- Initializes database on first boot
|
||||
- Compliance: CIS 1.4, FedRAMP AU-7, CMMC AU.3.059
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Comprehensive Audit Logging**
|
||||
- Added `config/hooks/live/audit-logging.sh`
|
||||
- Monitors: auth, access, modification, privilege, session events
|
||||
- Log retention: 90 days
|
||||
- Compliance: CIS 6.2, FedRAMP AU-2, CMMC AU.2.042
|
||||
|
||||
3. **SSH Client-Only Configuration**
|
||||
- Modified `config/hooks/live/ssh-client-only.sh`
|
||||
- Disabled sshd service, removed server package
|
||||
- SSH client tools remain for outbound connections
|
||||
- Compliance: CIS 5.2, NIST 800-53 IA-5, CMMC IA.2.078
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Shellcheck Fixes**
|
||||
- Resolved all warnings in shell scripts
|
||||
- SC2120/SC2119: Functions called without arguments (correct behavior)
|
||||
- SC1091: Source files exist at runtime
|
||||
- SC2034: Variables used in templates
|
||||
- Result: ZERO shellcheck warnings
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Git Safety Rules**
|
||||
- Added to AGENTS.md:
|
||||
- Quote all path arguments (handles spaces)
|
||||
- Use non-interactive rebase (`git rebase --no-interactive` not available, use `-i` with care)
|
||||
- Destructive operations require user confirmation
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Coverage Update
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Before Session: 31 tests
|
||||
After Session: 111 tests (+80)
|
||||
|
||||
Unit Tests: 12 → 12 (unchanged)
|
||||
Integration Tests: 6 → 6 (unchanged)
|
||||
Security Tests: 13 → 44 (+31)
|
||||
System Tests: 0 → 47 (+47, new category)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Architectural Decision Records
|
||||
|
||||
#### ADR-005: File Integrity Monitoring via AIDE
|
||||
**Date**: 2026-02-17
|
||||
**Status**: Accepted
|
||||
|
||||
**Context**: Need file integrity monitoring for compliance (CIS 1.4, FedRAMP AU-7).
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision**: Use AIDE (Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment) with focused monitoring
|
||||
of critical system directories.
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale**:
|
||||
- AIDE is mature, well-supported on Debian
|
||||
- Lightweight compared to commercial alternatives
|
||||
- Meets multiple compliance requirements
|
||||
- Database can be rebuilt if needed
|
||||
|
||||
**Consequences**:
|
||||
- Initial database creation on first boot (minor delay)
|
||||
- Regular checks recommended via cron
|
||||
- False positives if system packages updated legitimately
|
||||
|
||||
#### ADR-006: Comprehensive Audit via auditd
|
||||
**Date**: 2026-02-17
|
||||
**Status**: Accepted
|
||||
|
||||
**Context**: Need comprehensive audit logging for CIS 6.2, FedRAMP AU-2.
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision**: Use auditd with rules for all major event categories.
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale**:
|
||||
- auditd is the Linux standard for audit logging
|
||||
- Kernel-level monitoring (cannot be bypassed by userspace)
|
||||
- Structured logs for analysis
|
||||
- Meets multiple compliance requirements
|
||||
|
||||
**Consequences**:
|
||||
- Increased log volume (manageable with rotation)
|
||||
- Performance impact minimal on workstation workloads
|
||||
- Log retention policy required (90 days set)
|
||||
|
||||
#### ADR-007: SSH Client-Only Mode
|
||||
**Date**: 2026-02-17
|
||||
**Status**: Accepted
|
||||
|
||||
**Context**: KNEL-Football should have no inbound services.
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision**: Remove SSH server, keep only client tools.
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale**:
|
||||
- Reduces attack surface significantly
|
||||
- Aligns with "outbound only" security model
|
||||
- User can SSH out to other systems as needed
|
||||
- No management via SSH (physical console only)
|
||||
|
||||
**Consequences**:
|
||||
- No remote administration via SSH
|
||||
- Must use physical console for management
|
||||
- WireGuard outbound only, no inbound connections
|
||||
|
||||
### Lessons Learned
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Shellcheck Warnings Can Be Misleading**
|
||||
- SC2120/SC2119 warnings were false positives
|
||||
- Functions intentionally don't use arguments (generate static config)
|
||||
- Used `# shellcheck disable` sparingly, documented why
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Compliance Requirements Overlap**
|
||||
- CIS 1.4 (FIM) → FedRAMP AU-7 → CMMC AU.3.059
|
||||
- Single AIDE implementation satisfies all three
|
||||
- Document compliance mappings clearly
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Test Framework Scales Well**
|
||||
- Adding 80 new tests was straightforward
|
||||
- BATS + custom helpers pattern works
|
||||
- System tests for VM boot require special handling (libvirt)
|
||||
|
||||
### Action Items for Future Sessions
|
||||
|
||||
1. Rebuild ISO with new security features
|
||||
2. Run VM boot tests after user logout/login for libvirt
|
||||
3. Verify FDE runtime behavior in VM
|
||||
4. Consider Secure Boot implementation
|
||||
5. Update preseed.cfg to remove hardcoded passwords
