network-security-audit 1.1.2

Cross-platform security auditing framework for automated security assessments

Network Security Audit Framework

A cross-platform security auditing framework that performs automated security assessments on Unix/Linux and Windows systems. The framework detects security vulnerabilities, automatically remediates them, and generates structured JSON reports with detailed findings.

Features

• Cross-Platform Support: Works on Linux, Unix, and Windows environments
• Automated Detection & Remediation: Automatically detects and fixes security vulnerabilities
• Structured Reporting: JSON-formatted reports with MITRE ATT&CK TTPs
• Backup System: Automatic backup creation before any modifications
• Extensible: Easy to add new security checks

Installation

Install via pip (Recommended)

Install directly from Git repository:

pip install git+https://github.com/your-username/network_security.git

Install from local source:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/network_security.git
cd network_security
pip install .

Development mode installation (changes take effect immediately):

pip install -e .

Manual Installation (without pip)

git clone https://github.com/your-username/network_security.git
cd network_security

Usage

After pip installation

Run full audit:

network-security-audit

Manual execution (without pip installation)

python3 run.py

Run specific checks on Unix/Linux

cd network_security/unix
source ./includes/functions.sh
U-37  # Apache AllowOverride AuthConfig check
U-39  # Apache FollowSymLinks check

Output Locations

For installed package

Logs and reports are created in the installed package directory:

# Check installation location
python3 -c "import network_security; print(network_security.__file__)"

# Typical locations:
# ~/.local/lib/python3.x/site-packages/network_security/
# /usr/local/lib/python3.x/site-packages/network_security/

Output files:

• Unix/Linux logs: network_security/unix/logs/U-XX.log
• Unix/Linux reports: network_security/unix/reports/U-XX.json
• Windows reports: network_security/windows/reports/

For manual execution

• Unix/Linux logs: network_security/unix/logs/
• Unix/Linux reports: network_security/unix/reports/
• Windows reports: network_security/windows/reports/

Current Security Checks

Unix/Linux

• U-37: Apache AllowOverride AuthConfig restriction (prevents directory traversal via .htaccess)
• U-39: Apache FollowSymLinks restriction (prevents symbolic link exploitation)

Windows

• Coming soon

System Requirements

• Python: 3.7 or higher
• Unix/Linux: bash, zsh, or sh shell
• Windows: PowerShell
• Permissions: Some checks and remediation require administrator/root privileges

Testing in VM

PowerShell (Windows VM)

0. One-liner for Python install(Powershell) for Windows Server 2019

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.12.5/python-3.12.5-amd64.exe -OutFile python-installer.exe; Start-Process .\python-installer.exe -ArgumentList "/quiet InstallAllUsers=1 PrependPath=1 Include_pip=1" -Wait

1. If Python is installed:

# Install directly from Git repository
pip install network-security-audit

# Run
network-security-audit

2. Without Python, download directly:

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/your-username/network_security.git
cd network_security

# After installing Python
python run.py

Linux VM

# After SSH to VM
pip install git+https://github.com/your-username/network_security.git

# Run
network-security-audit

Uninstallation

pip uninstall network-security-audit
