        <h2>2.6.0.1 System configuration</h2>

        <h3>1.1 - Users groups, passwords and sudo.</h3>

        <p>Check "normal" users groups, make sure they are not admin or wheel group; ps -U root -u root u, ps axl | awk '$7 != 0 &amp;&amp; $10 !~ "Z"', process permission; ps -o gid,rdig,supgid -p "$pid"</p>

        <p>Maintain, secure with hash, and enforce secure passwords with pam-cracklib.</p>


        <h3>1.2 - Linux PAM</h3>

        <p>Cat /etc/pam.d/system-auth. Check pam modules, test on virtual machine, user can lockout during tests.</p>

        <p>Check files (processes) set uid and set gid;</p>

        <pre>
        # find / -perm -4000 >> /root/setuid_files
        # find / -perm 2000 >> /root/setguid_files
        </pre>

        <p>To setuid (4744);</p>

        <pre>
        # chmod u+s filename
        </pre>

        <p>To remove (0664) from su and Xorg (user must be part of input and video for xorg to run);</p>

        <pre>
        # chmod u-s /usr/bin/su
        # chmod u-s /usr/bin/X
        </pre>

        <p>To set gid (2744)</p>

        <p>Check files (processes); getfacl filename.</p>
        , disable admins and root from sshd.</p>

        <h3>1.3. Capabilities</h3>

        <p>Check capabilities;</p>
        <pre>
        # getcap filename
        </pre>

            <dd>1.9 - Limit number of processes.</dd>
            <dd>1.10 - Lock user after 3 failed loggins.</dd>
            <dd>1.8 - Block host ip based on iptable and services
            abuse.</dd>
        </dl>

        <h3>1.4 Sudo</h3>

        <p>Check sudo, sudoers and sudo replay.</p>

        <p>Don't run editor as root, instead run sudoedit filename or sudo --edit filename. Editor can be set as a environment variable;</p>

        <pre>
        $ export SUDO_EDITOR=vim
        </pre>

        <p>Set rvim as default on sudo config;</p>

        <pre>
        # visudo

        Defaults editor=/usr/bin/rvim
        </pre>

        <p>Once sudo is correctly configured, disable root login;</p>

        <pre>
        # passwd --lock root
        </pre>

        <h3>1.5 Auditd</h3>

        <pre>
        $ prt-get depinst audit
        </pre>

        <p>Example audit when file /etc/passwd get modified;</p>

        <h2>2.6.0.2 Lynis</h2>

        <pre>
        $ sudo prt-get depinst lynis
        </pre>

        <p>Lynis gives a view of system overall configuration,
        without changing default profile it runs irrelevant tests.
        Create a lynis profile by coping default one and run lynis;</p>

        <pre>
        $ sudo cp /etc/lynis/default.prf /etc/lynis/custom.prf
        $ sudo lynis configure settings color=yes
        $ sudo lynis show settings
        $ sudo lynis show profile
        </pre>

        <pre>
        $ lynis audit system > lynis_report
        $ mv /tmp/lynis.log .
        $ mv /tmp/lynis-report.dat .
        </pre>
