Terraform - An insecure and vulnerable laboratory

Purpose

The primary goal of this lab is to provide a hands-on experience for developers, security practitioners, and students to:

• Gain insight into insecure Terraform code patterns.
• Understand the potential risks associated with insecure infrastructure configurations.
• Learn how to apply security best practices to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Usage

1. Clone this repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/BreakingPitt/tfsec-vulnerability-lab.git

Install required security tools

Tfsec

Ensure you have tfsec installed.

1. You can install it using the following:

   curl -L -o tfsec https://github.com/tfsec/tfsec/releases/latest/download/tfsec-linux-amd64
   chmod +x tfsec
   sudo mv tfsec /usr/local/bin/

2. Ensure you have tfsec installed. You can install it using the following:

   tfsec --version

Checov

Ensure you have checkov installed.

1. Ensure you have checkov installed. You can install it using the following:

   pip install checkov

Running tfsec for security analysis

To analyze the insecure Terraform code examples using tfsec, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the directory containing the insecure Terraform code you want to analyze:

   cd tfsec-vulnerability-lab/src/s3

2. Run tfsec against the insecure Terraform code:

   tfsec .

Running checkov for security analysis

To analyze the insecure Terraform code examples using checkov, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the directory containing the insecure Terraform code you want to analyze:

   cd tfsec-vulnerability-lab/src/s3

2. Run checkov against the insecure Terraform code:

   checkov -d .

Dependencies

The following dependencies are required to run the lab:

• Terraform >= 0.15.0
• Tfsec >= 1.28.0
• Checkov >= 2.0.0
