Hubble

An alternate version of Hubblestack which can be run without an existing SaltStack infrastructure.

Packaging / Installing

Installing using setup.py

sudo yum install git -y
git clone https://github.com/hubblestack/hubble
cd hubble
sudo python setup.py install

Installs a hubble "binary" into /usr/bin/.

Building standalone packages (CentOS)

sudo yum install git -y
git clone https://github.com/hubblestack/hubble
cd hubble/pkg
./build_rpms.sh  # note the lack of sudo, that is important

Packages will be in the hubble/pkg/dist/ directory. The only difference between the packages is the inclusion of /etc/init.d/hubble for el6 and the inclusion of a systemd unit file for el7. There's no guarantee of glibc compatibility.

Building standalone packages (Debian)

sudo yum install git -y
git clone https://github.com/hubblestack/hubble
cd hubble/pkg
./build_debs.sh  # note the lack of sudo, that is important

Package will be in the hubble/pkg/dist/ directory. There's no guarantee of glibc compatibility.

Usage

A config template has been placed in /etc/hubble/hubble. Modify it to your specifications and needs.

You can do hubble -h to see the available options.

The first two commands you should run to make sure things are set up correctly are hubble --version and hubble test.ping. If those run without issue you're probably in business!

Single invocation

Hubble supports one-off invocations of specific functions:

[root@host1 hubble-v2]# hubble hubble.audit cis.centos-7-level-1-scored-v2-1-0 tags=CIS-3.\*
{'Compliance': '45%',
 'Failure': [{'CIS-3.4.2': 'Ensure /etc/hosts.allow is configured'},
             {'CIS-3.4.3': 'Ensure /etc/hosts.deny is configured'},
             {'CIS-3.6.2': 'Ensure default deny firewall policy'},
             {'CIS-3.6.3': 'Ensure loopback traffic is configured'},
             {'CIS-3.6.1_running': 'Ensure iptables is installed'},
             {'CIS-3.2.4': 'Ensure suspicious packets are logged'},
             {'CIS-3.2.2': 'Ensure ICMP redirects are not accepted'},
             {'CIS-3.2.3': 'Ensure secure ICMP redirects are not accepted'},
             {'CIS-3.1.2': 'Ensure packet redirect sending is disabled'},
             {'CIS-3.3.1': 'Ensure IPv6 router advertisements are not accepted'},
             {'CIS-3.3.2': 'Ensure IPv6 redirects are not accepted'}],
 'Success': [{'CIS-3.6.1_installed': 'Ensure iptables is installed'},
             {'CIS-3.4.1': 'Ensure TCP Wrappers is installed'},
             {'CIS-3.4.5': 'Ensure permissions on /etc/hosts.deny are 644'},
             {'CIS-3.4.4': 'Ensure permissions on /etc/hosts.allow are configured'},
             {'CIS-3.2.5': 'Ensure broadcast ICMP requests are ignored'},
             {'CIS-3.2.6': None},
             {'CIS-3.2.1': 'Ensure source routed packets are not accepted'},
             {'CIS-3.1.1': 'Ensure IP forwarding is disabled'},
             {'CIS-3.2.8': 'Ensure TCP SYN Cookies is enabled'}]}

Scheduler

Hubble supports scheduled jobs. See the docstring for schedule for more information, but it follows the basic structure of salt scheduled jobs. The schedule config should be placed in /etc/hubble/hubble along with any other hubble config:

schedule:
  job1:
    function: hubble.audit
    seconds: 60
    splay: 30
    args:
      - cis.centos-7-level-1-scored-v2-1-0
    kwargs:
      verbose: True
      show_profile: True
    returner: splunk_nova_return
    run_on_start: True

Note that you need to have your hubblestack splunk returner configured in order to use the above block:

hubblestack:
  returner:
    splunk:
      - token: XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX
        indexer: splunk-indexer.domain.tld
        index: hubble
        sourcetype_nova: hubble_audit
        sourcetype_nebula: hubble_osquery
        sourcetype_pulsar: hubble_fim

When using the scheduler, you can just run hubble in the foreground, or use the included sysvinit and systemd files to run it as a service in the background. You can also start it as a daemon without any scripts by using the -d argument.

Use -vvv to turn on debug logging.
