Supermarket Belongs to the Community

Supermarket belongs to the community. While Chef has the responsibility to keep it running and be stewards of its functionality, what it does and how it works is driven by the community. The chef/supermarket repository will continue to be where development of the Supermarket application takes place. Come be part of shaping the direction of Supermarket by opening issues and pull requests or by joining us on the Chef Mailing List.

Description

Ever wanted a little guardian angel to protect your chef deployed
servers from the bad guys? Like a bad-ass Jiminy Cricket on your
shoulder?

This package is to make deployment and testing of mod_security easier
with Chef. Right now it centers entirely around the OWASP Core Rule
Sets of mod_security rules. In future, it will allow you to manage/deploy
custom rule/rulesets of your own.

There are 2 main use cases right now:

Install on a real production server

  • Adjust the attributes to your liking and install the default recipe.

Find out what ModSecurity could do for your site in less than 15-minutes.

  • Setup a base chef recipe for a server.
  • Set it to install the default recipe
  • Create a cookbook to reverse proxy to your real server sorta like this: <pre> mod_secure_proxy "my_site" do server_name "www.mysite.com" enable_https true # if you want to proxy https too end </pre>
  • Set your local /etc/hosts (or equiv.) file to have that server's IP look like your site
  • Test to your heart's content.
  • Look at /var/log/modsec.log and see what you could be blocking
  • Change the "DetectOnly" attribute to "On" and test some more

Requirements

Cookbooks

This cookbook depends on apache2 and build-essential or IIS for Windows

Platforms

Supported

  • Windows (tested on 2008R2 and 2012R2)
  • Ubuntu (tested on 12.04 and 13.04)
  • Debian (tested on 6.0.8 and 7.2.0)
  • RedHat (untested)
  • CentOS (tested on 6.5)
  • Fedora (untested)
  • FreeBSD (untested)
  • Amazon Linux (tested on 20160701)

Coming Soon

  • Arch (anything else that apache2 supports)

Attributes

Major ones will be documented soon. For right now check the
attributes file. A few suggestions

  • Compile from source. I normally prefer not to do this, but some core rules break if you don't
  • crs->bundled determines if the bundled version of the crs should be used or if the core rules are downloaded from the SpiderLabs GitHub releases.
  • Base rules should generally be safe, the other groups much less so. There are some rules with inconsistently named data files that are fixed by this cookbook.
  • custom->rules allows you to install your own custom rules
  • custom->datafiles allows you to install your own data files to be used in pmFromFile directives

Recipes

default

This installs base, the OWASP core rule set and your own custom rules, adjust
mod_security.install_base,mod_security.install_crs and mod_security.install_custom
to alter this behavior

install_base_apache

Installs mod_security for Apache (!Windows)

install_base_iis

Installs mod_security for IIS (Windows)

install_owasp_core_rule_set

Install the bundled / chef template managed OWASP CRS

install_custom_rule_set

Reads custom->rules and custom->datafiles properties and creates .conf and .data
files based on their contents in mod_security/rules which is included by the default
mod_security.conf file
