InSpec profile to validate the secure configuration of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, against DISA's Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) Version 1, Release 21.
It is intended and recommended that InSpec run this profile from a "runner" host (such as a DevOps orchestration server, an administrative management system, or a developer's workstation/laptop) against the target remotely over winrm.
For the best security of the runner, always install on the runner the latest version of InSpec and supporting Ruby language components.
Latest versions and installation options are available at the InSpec site.
inspec exec https://github.com/mitre/red-hat-enterprise-linux-6-stig-baseline.git --target=ssh://<your_target_host_name_or_ip_address> --user=<target_account_with_administrative_privileges> --password=<password_for_target_account> --sudo --sudo-password=<sudo_password_for_target_if_required> --reporter=cli json:<path_to_your_output_file/name_of_your_output_file.json>
Runs this profile over ssh to the host at IP address hostip as a privileged user account (i.e., an account with administrative privileges), reporting results to both the command line interface (cli) and to a machine-readable JSON file.
The following is an example of using this command.
inspec exec https://github.com/mitre/red-hat-enterprise-linux-6-stig-baseline.git -t ssh://$myhost --user 'inspec_svc' --password=Pa55w0rd --sudo --sudo-password=sudoPa55w0rd --reporter cli json:redhat6-results.json
The JSON results output file can be loaded into heimdall-lite for a user-interactive, graphical view of the InSpec results.
The JSON InSpec results file may also be loaded into a full heimdall server, allowing for additional functionality such as to store and compare multiple profile runs.
