Prowler - Tool for AWS Security Assessment, Auditing And Hardening
Features
It covers hardening and security best practices for all AWS regions related to:
- Identity and Access Management (24 checks)
- Logging (8 checks)
- Monitoring (15 checks)
- Networking (5 checks)
With Prowler you can:
- get a colourish or monochrome report
- a CSV format report for diff
- run specific checks without having to run the entire report
- check multiple AWS accounts in parallel
Requirements
This script has been written in bash using AWS-CLI and it works in Linux and OSX.
- Make sure your AWS-CLI is installed on your workstation, with Python pip already installed:
pip install awscli
Or install it using "brew", "apt", "yum" or manually from https://aws.amazon.com/cli/- Previous steps, from your workstation:
git clone https://github.com/Alfresco/prowler
cd prowler
- Make sure you have properly configured your AWS-CLI with a valid Access Key and Region:
aws configure
- Make sure your Secret and Access Keys are associated to a user with proper permissions to do all checks. To make sure add SecurityAuditor default policy to your user. Policy ARN is
arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/SecurityAudit
In some cases you may need more list or get permissions in some services, look at the Troubleshooting section for a more comprehensive policy if you find issues with the default SecurityAudit policy.
How to create a report
1 - Run the prowler.sh command without options (it will use your default credentials and run checks over all regions when needed, default region is us-east-1):
./prowler
2 - For custom AWS-CLI profile and region, use the following: (it will use your custom profile and run checks over all regions when needed):./prowler -p custom-profile -r us-east-1
3 - For a single check use option -c:./prowler -c check310
or for custom profile and region./prowler -p custom-profile -r us-east-1 -c check11
or for a group of checks use group name:./prowler -c check3
Valid check numbers are based on the AWS CIS Benchmark guide, so 1.1 is check11 and 3.10 is check3104 - If you want to save your report for later analysis:
./prowler > prowler-report.txt
or if you want a colored HTML report do:pip install ansi2html
./prowler | ansi2html -la > report.html
or if you want a pipe-delimited report file, do:./prowler -M csv > output.psv
5 - If you want to run Prowler to check multiple AWS accounts in parallel (runs up to 4 simultaneously -P 4
):grep -E '^\[([0-9A-Aa-z_-]+)\]' ~/.aws/credentials | tr -d '][' | shuf | \
xargs -n 1 -L 1 -I @ -r -P 4 ./prowler -p @ -M csv 2> /dev/null >> all-accounts.csv
6 - For help use:./prowler -h
USAGE:
prowler -p <profile> -r <region> [ -h ]
Options:
-p <profile> specify your AWS profile to use (i.e.: default)
-r <region> specify an AWS region to direct API requests to (i.e.: us-east-1)
-c <checknum> specify a check number or group from the AWS CIS benchmark (i.e.: check11 for check 1.1 or check3 for entire section 3)
-f <filterregion> specify an AWS region to run checks against (i.e.: us-west-1)
-m <maxitems> specify the maximum number of items to return for long-running requests (default: 100)
-M <mode> output mode: text (defalut), mono, csv (separator is "|"; data is on stdout; progress on stderr)
-k keep the credential report
-h this help
How to fix all WARNINGS:
Check your report and fix the issues following all specific guidelines per check in https://benchmarks.cisecurity.org/tools2/amazon/CIS_Amazon_Web_Services_Foundations_Benchmark_v1.1.0.pdf

Troubleshooting
STS expired token
If you are using an STS token for AWS-CLI and your session is expired you probably get this error:
A client error (ExpiredToken) occurred when calling the GenerateCredentialReport operation: The security token included in the request is expired
To fix it, please renew your token by authenticating again to the AWS API.Custom IAM Policy
Instead of using default policy SecurityAudit for the account you use for checks you may need to create a custom policy with a few more permissions (get and list, not change!) here you go a good example for a "ProwlerPolicyReadOnly":

Incremental IAM Policy
Alternatively, here is a policy which defines the permissions which are NOT present in the AWS Managed SecurityAudit policy. Attach both this policy and the AWS Managed SecurityAudit policy to the group and you're good to go.
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Action": [
"acm:DescribeCertificate",
"acm:ListCertificates",
"cloudwatchlogs:describeLogGroups",
"cloudwatchlogs:DescribeMetricFilters",
"es:DescribeElasticsearchDomainConfig",
"ses:GetIdentityVerificationAttributes",
"sns:ListSubscriptionsByTopic"
],
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": "*"
}
]
}
Bootstrap Script
Quick bash script to set up a "prowler" IAM user and "SecurityAudit" group with the required permissions. To run the script below, you need user with administrative permissions; set the AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE to use that account.
export AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE=default
export ACCOUNT_ID=$(aws sts get-caller-identity --query 'Account' | tr -d '"')
aws iam create-group --group-name SecurityAudit
aws iam create-policy --policy-name ProwlerAuditAdditions --policy-document file://$(pwd)/prowler-policy-additions.json
aws iam attach-group-policy --group-name SecurityAudit --policy-arn arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/SecurityAudit
aws iam attach-group-policy --group-name SecurityAudit --policy-arn arn:aws:iam::${ACCOUNT_ID}:policy/ProwlerAuditAdditions
aws iam create-user --user-name prowler
aws iam add-user-to-group --user-name prowler --group-name SecurityAudit
aws iam create-access-key --user-name prowler
unset ACCOUNT_ID AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE
The aws iam create-access-key
command will output the secret access key and the key id; keep these somewhere safe, and add them to ~/.aws/credentials with an appropriate profile name to use them with prowler. This is the only time they secret key will be shown. If you loose it, you will need to generate a replacement.
