# AGENTS.md - Football Secure Access System

## Project Orientation

**Last Orientation**: 2025-01-20

### Related Documentation

- `docs/FUNCTIONAL-REQUIREMENTS.md` - Complete functional requirements specification

### Project Overview

Football is a minimal, hardened Debian 13 (trixie) system for secure remote access to privileged infrastructure. It enforces strict network controls where ALL traffic must pass through a WireGuard VPN tunnel, with direct network access completely blocked.

### Build Methodology

The project uses an **ISO-based installer approach**:
1. **Create Preseed**: Generate Debian installer automation file
2. **Download ISO**: Get Debian netinst ISO
3. **Inject Preseed**: Embed preseed configuration into ISO
4. **Build ISO**: Create custom football-installer.iso
5. **Deploy**: Boot ISO on bare metal or VM
6. **Automate Installer**: Preseed answers all questions except:
   - Username/password creation
   - Root password setting
   - Target disk selection

The output is a **bootable ISO with embedded preseed configuration** that automates most of the Debian installation process.

### Key Design Decisions

- **ISO-based installer**: Uses standard Debian installer with preseed automation
- **Docker-based ISO build**: All ISO creation work done in containers
- **Preseed automation**: Automates all installation steps except user/disk selection
- **Minimal post-install configuration**: Security configs applied via late_command in preseed
- **Zero remote administration**: SSH, telnet, etc. completely disabled
- **WireGuard-only networking**: Direct network access blocked, all traffic through VPN

---

## Current Project Status

**Last Updated**: 2025-01-20
**Status**: ✅ READY TO BUILD
**Build Method**: ISO-based installer with preseed configuration
**Artifacts**:
1. `football-installer.iso` - Bootable ISO with embedded preseed (for bare metal and VM)
2. ISO boots in QEMU for automated testing

---

## Executive Summary

The Football Secure Access System is a minimal, hardened Debian 13 (trixie) system designed for Tier0 infrastructure protection. It provides secure remote access to privileged workstations via WireGuard VPN, with all direct network access blocked.

### Current Status

| Component | Status | Notes |
|-----------|--------|--------|
| Preseed Configuration | ✅ COMPLETE | config/preseed.cfg ready |
| ISO Build Script | ✅ COMPLETE | scripts/build-iso.sh operational |
| Security Scripts | ✅ COMPLETE | All security configs in place |
| Build System | ✅ COMPLETE | Docker-based ISO build working |
| First Boot Verification | ✅ COMPLETE | verify-system.sh ready |

### Migration Summary

**Previous Approach**: Debootstrap-based build (manual image creation)
**Current Approach**: ISO-based installer with preseed automation
**Migration Date**: 2025-01-20
**Migration Reason**: More reliable, uses standard Debian installer

All obsolete debootstrap-related files and documentation have been removed.

## Project Architecture

### Purpose

**Football** is a minimal Debian system for secure remote access to high-security physical infrastructure (Tier0 protection).

### Deployment Targets

1. **Physical Hardware**: Dell laptops deployed in server rooms
2. **Virtual Machines**: QEMU-based VMs for testing and deployment

### Use Cases

- Secure remote RDP access to privileged workstations
- Controlled environment for system administration
- Tier0 infrastructure protection (CMMC Level 3, FedRAMP Moderate)
- Air-gapped system (WireGuard tunneling required)

---

## Security Model

### Core Principles

1. **Zero Direct Network Access**: All traffic routed through WireGuard VPN
2. **No Remote Administration**: SSH, telnet, etc. completely disabled
3. **Secure Boot Enforced**: UEFI with secure boot enabled
4. **Minimal Attack Surface**: Only IceWM and Remmina installed
5. **Local Console Only**: No remote administration capabilities

   - Downloads Debian 13.3.0 netinst ISO
   - Caches ISO for faster subsequent builds
   - Verifies ISO integrity

2. **Extract ISO**:
   - Extracts ISO contents to temporary directory
   - Preserves ISO structure

3. **Inject Preseed**:
   - Copies preseed.cfg to ISO root
   - Configures installer to use preseed

4. **Inject Scripts and Configs**:
   - Copies all config/ scripts to ISO
   - Copies verify-system.sh to ISO
   - Sets correct permissions

5. **Repackage ISO**:
   - Uses xorriso to create new ISO
   - Preserves boot information

**Issue**: Installation fails
**Solution**: Check logs, verify hardware compatibility, try without preseed

**Issue**: Won't boot after install
**Solution**: Check GRUB installation, verify UEFI settings

### Post-Installation Issues

**Issue**: Can't login
**Solution**: Verify username was created, check caps lock

**Issue**: WiFi not disabled
**Solution**: Check blacklist files, verify module names

**Issue**: Auto-lock not working
**Solution**: Check xscreensaver configuration, verify xautolock

**Issue**: USB not mounting
**Solution**: Verify user in correct groups, check polkit rules
