scribe\n\nscribe is a host policy evaluator written in Go.\n\n[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/mozilla/scribe.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/mozilla/scribe)\n[![Go Report Card](https://goreportcard.com/badge/mozilla/scribe \"Go Report Card\")](https://goreportcard.com/report/mozilla/scribe)\n\n## Overview\n\nscribe is a Go library and frontend used to evaluate policies on systems.\nPolicies are specified as a JSON or YAML document containing a series of tests, and\nthese tests return a status indicating if the test criteria matched or not.\n\nTests reference objects in the policy file. An object can be considered an abstraction\nof some data from the system, for example a package version or the contents of a specific\nfile. The tests also specify criteria that will be applied to the referenced object. For example,\nif an object returns a line from a given file, the test could indicate that the data must\nmatch specific content. If the match succeeeds, the test returns true.\n\nIt is intended to perform functions such as:\n\n* Identification of software versions that do not meet a specific requirement\n* Evaluation of hardening criteria or other system security policies\n* Any other functions involving extraction and analysis of host information\n\nThe software is designed to return only test status criteria, and meta-data\nassociated with the test. It runs directly on the system being evaluated, and\nrequires no data from the system to be returned to a central server for\nadditional processing.\n\nIt's primary purpose is integration with Mozilla MIG which allows\ninvestigators to perform system evaluation by sending a policy to the MIG\nagent for execution. It is also suited to executing policies as part of an\ninstance build and testing process, or periodically on an installed system.\n\n## Usage\n\nScribe policies can be evaluated using the scribecmd command line tool, or alternatively the scribe\nlibrary can be included in another go application.\n\nThis example shows evaluation of a given policy file, where only tests that return\ntrue are displayed in the results.\n\n```bash\n$ ./scribecmd -f mypolicy.json -T\n```\n\nscribecmd supports other runtime options, see the usage output for details.\n\n## Vulnerability scanning\n\nscribe can be used to perform vulnerability scanning directly on the system using a suitable\npolicy file. The library implements various criteria specifications such as\nEVR (epoch/version/release) testing that can be used to determine if a given package\nversion is less than what is required.\n\nscribevulnpolicy is a policy generator that integrates with [clair](https://github.com/coreos/clair)\nfor vulnerability data. This tool can be used to generate scribe vulnerability check\npolicies for supported platforms. For details on usage see the\n[documentation for scribevulnpolicy](./scribevulnpolicy/README.md).\n\n## Additional documentation\n\nAdditional documentation on the library is available at [godoc.org](https://godoc.org/github.com/mozilla/scribe/).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmozilla%2Fscribe","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmozilla%2Fscribe","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmozilla%2Fscribe/lists"}
