README

The repo contains simple Ruby scripts to check an AWS account against configuration required by Cornell policy.

Configuration Checks

The baseline Cornell policy for organizational use of AWS are outlined in Cloudification Service Details.

This code checks for the following:

• IAM
  • Check that exactly one account alias is configured. Show the alias.
  • root user
    • alerts if access key configured
    • alerts if MFA is not enabled
  • SAML identity providers
    • alerts if exactly one identity provider is not configured
    • alerts if public key in IDP SAML metadata does not match Cornell IDP SAML
    • alerts if Cornell IDP is not found
  • IAM user passwords
    • alerts if password is configured for any IAM user
  • IAM password policy
    • alerts if the IAM password policy parameters are weak. Cornell recommendations for a password policy:
      • require symbols in passwords
      • require numbers in passwords
      • require lowercase characters in passwords
      • require uppercase characters in passwords
      • allow users to change their own passwords
      • allow users set new password after expiration
      • require minimum password length of 14 characters
      • require maximum password age of 90 days or less
      • require at least 3 new, different passwords before a password is reused
  • IAM access keys
    • alerts if an active key is more than 90 days old
      • How to rotate IAM access keys
• AWS Config
  • CLOUD_TRAIL_ENABLED rule
    • alerts if frequency is not 24 hours
    • alerts if rule is not ACTIVE
    • alerts if rule is not present in us-east-1
    • alerts if rule hasn't been run in the past 24 hours
    • alerts if last evaluation of rule result in NONCOMPLIANT result
• AWS CloudTrail
  • ITSO auditing trail
    • alerts if ITSO trail is not present
    • alerts if ITSO trail is not logging
    • alerts if ITSO trail is not enabled for global events and multi-regions
    • alerts if ITSO trail has not delivered results within the last 12 hours
  • main trail
    • alerts if main trail is not present
    • alerts if main trail is not logging
    • alerts if main trail is not enabled for global events and multi-regions
    • alerts if main trail has not delivered results within the last 12 hours
    • warns that account may need to have multi-region trail added if no global and multi-region trail is found
• VPC
  • Network ACLs
    • checks that baseline network ACL is present in all regions
  • Flow logs
    • Since there is not yet a Cornell standard flow log configuration deployed, simple identify any existing flow logs, or state that there are none.

Add your ideas for additional checks as issues to this repo.

Notes

The check-aws.rb script will alert on CloudTrail configs that uses one trail for each region. We are transitioning to the multi-region style of trail, and not all accounts are transitioned yet.

How do I run it?

Prerequisites

• AWS credentials should be setup for AWS CLI and scripts as described as in http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-getting-started.html. As written, the code will use the credentials under your "default" profile.
• You need Ruby installed on your system. This script was developed using Ruby 2.3.0p0.
• You need the following Gems on your system:
  • aws-sdk (2.2.32)
  • aws-sdk-core (2.2.32)
  • aws-sdk-resources (2.2.32)
  • To install these execute $ gem install aws-sdk

Running the code

$ ./check-aws.rb
