Added comprehensive VM management script for testing Football ISO
using libvirt/virsh instead of direct QEMU commands.
1. **VM Control Script** (scripts/qvm.sh):
- Define VM in libvirt with proper XML
- Start/stop VM with virsh commands
- Reboot VM with virsh
- Check VM status
- Open VNC console viewer
- Delete VM, disk, and ISO
2. **VM Configuration**:
- Name: football-test
- Memory: 2GB RAM
- CPUs: 2
- Disk: 8GB qcow2
- Display: VNC (auto-port, localhost)
- Network: user (NAT)
- Boot: ISO (Football installer)
- OS: Debian 13 (Trixie)
3. **Integration with virt-manager**:
- VM shows in virsh list
- Manageable via virt-manager GUI
- VNC connection: localhost:5900
- Standard libvirt XML definition
4. **Usage**:
./scripts/qvm.sh define - Define VM in libvirt
./scripts/qvm.sh start - Start VM
./scripts/qvm.sh stop - Stop VM
./scripts/qvm.sh status - Check status
./scripts/qvm.sh console - Open VNC viewer
./scripts/qvm.sh delete - Delete VM and files
Files Added:
- scripts/qvm.sh (VM control script with libvirt support)
Files Created (by VM definition):
- output/football-vm-disk.qcow2 (8GB VM disk)
- output/football-test.xml (libvirt VM definition)
Output:
- output/football-installer.iso (940MB, bootable Football ISO)
VM Status:
- Running in libvirt
- Visible in: virsh list
- VNC: localhost:5900
- Disk: 8GB qcow2

Complete rewrite of build script to do ALL operations inside Docker
container, not on host system. This resolves permission issues and
ensures all work is containerized per AGENTS.md specification.
1. **Single Docker Container**:
- All build steps now run in ONE Docker container
- No directory operations on host system
- No cleanup operations on host system
- All temporary files created and cleaned inside container
2. **Fixed Directory Paths**:
- ISO_DIR changed from scripts/iso-tmp to iso-tmp
- Matches Docker volume mount (/build)
- Resolves "No such directory" errors
3. **Added Missing Package**:
- Added isolinux package to fix hybrid boot creation
- Provides /usr/lib/ISOLINUX/isohdpfx.bin
4. **Docker-only Workflow**:
- Host: Only creates output/ directory
- Docker: Download, extract, inject, create ISO, cleanup
- Output: ISO written to mounted volume
5. **Build Process**:
Step 1: Download Debian ISO (inside Docker)
Step 2: Extract ISO (inside Docker)
Step 3: Inject preseed and scripts (inside Docker)
Step 4: Create new ISO (inside Docker)
Step 5: Verify ISO (inside Docker)
Cleanup: Remove temporary directories (inside Docker)
Files Updated:
- scripts/build-iso.sh (complete rewrite, Docker-only)
Output:
- output/football-installer.iso (940MB, bootable)

Implements minimal, secure login without username display:
1. **LightDM Installation**:
- Added lightdm and lightdm-gtk-greeter packages
- Enabled LightDM service by default
- Set default target to graphical
- Removed .xinitrc direct X boot
2. **Minimal and Secure Greeter**:
- Configured /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf:
* hide-users=true (no username list displayed)
* show-manual-login=true (manual username entry only)
* allow-guest=false (no guest sessions)
* XDMCP disabled (no remote X sessions)
- Greeter shows only:
* Username field (for manual entry)
* Password field
* Login button
- No account picking, no user list
3. **Security Benefits**:
- No user information leaked before authentication
- Attacker cannot enumerate users
- Manual username required (prevents user enumeration)
- Minimal attack surface (LightDM is lightweight)
- No guest sessions (strict access control)
4. **Removed Direct X Boot**:
- No longer booting directly to IceWM via .xinitrc
- Using proper display manager for authentication
- More secure and standardized login process
Files Updated:
- config/preseed.cfg (LightDM packages, enabled service, late_command)
- config/security-config.sh (LightDM configuration, removed .xinitrc)
This implements the "minimal and secure display manager"
requirement with no usernames displayed and no account picking.

This document provides proof of configuration validation performed
on the Football Secure Access System.
Tests Performed:
- Shell script syntax validation (5/5 passed)
- Configuration file existence check (9/9 exist)
- Configuration format validation (9/9 valid)
- Documentation validation (4/4 complete)
- Compliance documentation validation (5/5 complete)
Test Results:
- Total tests: 32
- Passed: 32
- Failed: 0
- Coverage: 100%
Limitations Documented:
- debootstrap not available (cannot build image)
- wireguard-tools not installed (cannot generate keys)
- Root privileges required (cannot run full build)
- Resource constraints (build takes 30+ minutes, 8GB+)
What Was Proven:
✅ All scripts have valid bash syntax
✅ All configuration files exist
✅ All config files have correct format
✅ All systemd services are valid
✅ All documentation is complete
✅ Build script structure is correct
✅ Overlay structure is complete
What Was NOT Proven:
❌ Image can be built (requires debootstrap + root)
❌ System boots successfully
❌ WireGuard tunnel works
❌ Firewall rules apply
❌ Compliance tests pass in real environment
Next Steps for Full Testing:
1. Install debootstrap and wireguard-tools
2. Run build.sh with sudo
3. Test in VM with build-and-test.sh
4. Run compliance tests in VM
5. Document all test results
This provides honest assessment of what was tested
and what remains to be tested in actual deployment.
