Configure Ubuntu 22.04 to be CIS compliant.
Tested with:
- Ubuntu 22.04
- Ubuntu 23.04
This role will make changes to the system that could break things.
This is not an auditing tool but rather a remediation tool to be used after an audit has been conducted.
This role was developed against a clean install of the Operating System.
If you are implementing to an existing system please review this role for any site specific changes that are needed.
Based on CIS Ubuntu Linux 22.04 LTS Benchmark v2.0.0.
- section :: 6.2.1.2 Configure systemd-journal-remote
- is configured, but not in deep tested (default not setup with remote logging)
- section :: 4.2 Configure nftables
- is configured, but not in deep tested (default ufw is used from section 4.1)
- section :: 4.3 Configure iptables
- is configured, but not in deep tested (default ufw is used from section 4.1)
- section :: 5.3 Pluggable Authentication Modules :: 5.4 User Accounts and Environment
- could be tested deeper, base tests are performed and for secure only used for fresh os install
You should carefully read through the tasks to make sure these changes will not break your systems before running this playbook.
To start working in this Role you just need to install Python and Ansible:
$sudo apt install python3 python3-pip sshpass
# if python >= 3.11 used, add also '--break-system-packages'
$python3 -m pip install ansible ansible-lint yamllintFor run tests with molecule, you need also to install:
# if python >= 3.11 used, add also '--break-system-packages'
$python3 -m pip install molecule molecule-plugins[docker]default all section are active and will performed

# -------------------------A collection of recommendations for securing a technology or a supporting platform. Most benchmarks include at least a Level 1 and Level 2 Profile. Level 2 extends Level 1 recommendations and is not a standalone profile. The Profile Definitions section in the benchmark provides the definitions as they pertain to the recommendations included for the technology.
For Level 1 and Level 2 and the split into Server and Workstation, are defined by tags in the tasks by:
- server_l1
- server_l2
- workstation_l1
- workstation_l2
