ABOUT
=====
Modifies a CentOS 7.3+ (1611) (tested with CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1702-01.iso)
x86_64 DVD with a kickstart that will install a system that is configured and hardened
to meet government-level regulations.
NOTE: ROOT ACCOUNT IS LOCKED WITH INSTALL USE 'admin' ACCOUNT WITH 'sudo' INSTEAD.
The kickstart script involves the integration of the following projects
into a single installer:
- classification-banner.py (Python for displaying a graphical classification banner)
https://github.com/RedHatGov/classification-banner
- SCAP Security Guide (SSG) - Hardening Script for CentOS7
https://github.com/openscap/scap-security-guide

of the system with Ovirt Manager by allowing root login and
allowing exec in /tmp. Run rhevm-postinstall.sh after system
is added into Ovirt Manager. Copied to /root after kickstart
install
iptables.sh (use with KVM and Ovirt hosts, uses iptables/ebtables)
Configures iptables firewall during kickstart installation.
Called in menu.py script. Firewall is configured to recommended
ports for each product or profile. Copied to /root after kickstart
install. FirewallD is default except for KVM systems.

HARDENING INFORMATION
=====================
Here is some additional information added by the supplemental hardening script
in addition to the SSG:
1. The kernel option for FIPS 140-2 mode is contained on the kickstart menu
2. Shell timeout (bash/csh) is 15 minutes of inactivity, vlock will lock CLI
console (scripts are located under /etc/profile.d/autologout.{sh,csh})
3. The 'wheel' group is required for privileged users (beyond root) to run
`su -` or `sudo -i` commands, sudo timeout is 5 minutes
4. The 'sshusers' group is required for SSH/SFTP access, other users are
limited to console access without this group
5. Additional software such as McAfee EPo/HBSS may be required meet site
policy
6. Configure PTP or NTP for time synchronization (/etc/chrony.conf or /etc/ntp.conf)
7. Configure rsyslog to send logs to a centralized log monitoring. (/etc/rsyslog.conf)
8. Create users:
NOTE: The root user is locked now - use 'admin' user account with sudo instead of root.
Local Console Access Only (Unprivileged)
# useradd -m -c "Local User" localuser
Remote Access (Unprivileged)
# useradd -m -c "Remote User" -G sshusers remoteuser
System Administrator (SA) (Privileged User)
# useradd -m -c "System Administrator" -G sshusers,wheel admin
9. Wireless is disabled in a number of ways with Network Manager including:
a.) `nmcli radio all off` command in /etc/rc.local
b.) Dconf configurations to disable the creation of wireless networks:
/etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/99-gnome-hardening
[org.gnome.nm-applet]
disable-wifi-create=true
/etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/locks/99-gnome-hardening
/org/gnome/nm-applet/disable-wifi-create
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/99_custom_settings.gschema.override
[org.gnome.nm-applet]
disable-wifi-create=true
Generally, wireless should not be used on a DoD/IC system.
