General

Check the Repo content

Files that must be inside the repository:

  • DeepInSystem.sha1
Are the required files present?
Verify that the virtual machine that will be audited is the one that is submitted:
user:~$ sha1sum deep-in-system.ova > deep-in-system-toaudit.sha1
user:~$ diff deep-in-system.sha1  deep-in-system-toaudit.sha1 ; echo $?
0
user:~$
Is the SHA1 of the provided machine the same as the machine being audited?
Check the Virtual machine aliases
The virtual machine is clean of any alias that may affect the results of the audit commands?

The Virtual Machine Part:

Check the Linux distribution

To get information about the OS release:

user:~$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu <...> LTS"
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION_ID="<...>"
VERSION="<...> LTS <...>"
VERSION_CODENAME=<...>
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://help.ubuntu.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"
PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy"
UBUNTU_CODENAME=<...>
user:~$
Check if ubuntu is a server and not a desktop:
user:~$ dpkg -l ubuntu-desktop
dpkg-query: no packages found matching ubuntu-desktop
user:~$

You can check the versions of the ubuntu server from here: Get Ubuntu Server

Is the installed Linux distribution is Ubuntu server's latest LTS?
Check the VM disk and partitions

Check the VM disk and partitions with this command:

user:~$ lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,SIZE,MOUNTPOINT /dev/sda
NAME   FSTYPE SIZE MOUNTPOINT
sda            30G
├─sda<...>          1M
├─sda<...> swap     4G [SWAP]
├─sda<...> ext4    15G /
├─sda<...> ext4     5G /home
└─sda<...> ext4     6G /backup
user:~$
  • The VM disk size must be 30GB.

  • VM disk must be divided into these partitions: "swap:" 4G "/": 15G "/home": 5G "/backup": 6G

Is the VM Disk size correct?

There is no problem if the size of the divisions is not very accurate (Authorized error rate: <= 0.5G)!

Are the VM disk partitions correct?
Check the hostname and user name

To check the hostname:

user:~$ hostname
<username>-host
user:~$

To check the user name and groups:

user:~$ id
uid=<...>({username}) gid=<...>({username}) groups=<...>({username}),<...>(sudo),<...>
user:~$
Does the hostname in the format of "{username}-host"?
Does the student use a user different from the "root" user?
Does the username contain the student login?
Does the user in the sudo group?
Does the student can explain what is sudo group in Linux?

The Network & Security Part:

Check the VM IP address

The student must show the file that was modified to set a static IP address.

Does the student can explain the configuration?
Does the student What is a netmask?
Check if the IP address is static with this command:
user:~$ ip a | grep dynamic
user:~$

outsideTheVM:~$ ssh {username}@{machine-ip} -p 2222
{username}@{machine-ip}'s password:
Welcome to Ubuntu <......>
InsideTheVM:~$ hostname
{username}-host
InsideTheVM:~$
Can connect to the ssh properly?
Does the student can explain what is ssh server and what the role of it?
