Inspec Profile for STIGs

Based on Security Guides found at STIG

The Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) and the NSA Guides are the configuration standards for DOD IA and IA-enabled devices/systems. Since 1998, DISA has played a critical role enhancing the security posture of DoD's security systems by providing the Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs). The STIGs contain technical guidance to "lock down" information systems/software that might otherwise be vulnerable to a malicious computer attack.

Develop Inspec checks:

I pulle down the stig json file and parsed it through a shitty script to generate the base inspec files and then wrote the checks. see read_stig_json.rb for generating inspec base from stig documentation.

Demo

$ vagrant up

$ vagrant ssh -c "time inspec exec /vagrant/rhel6 --format=progress

Please use `passwd.entries.length` instead. It will be removed in version 1.0.0.
