## SGT: OSQuery Management Server Built Entirely on AWS!
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/OktaSecurityLabs/sgt.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/OktaSecurityLabs/sgt)
[![Go Report](https://goreportcard.com/badge/github.com/OktaSecurityLabs/sgt)](https://goreportcard.com/badge/github.com/OktaSecurityLabs/sgt)

SGT is an osquery management server written in Golang and built in aws. Sgt (Simple Go TLS)
is backed entirely by AWS services, making its infrastructure requirements extremely
simple, robust and scalable.

SGT is managed entirely through terraform

###### NOTE: SGT is under active development. Please help us improve by submitting issues!

### Getting started.

__NOTE__ If you are upgrading from a previous version, please see the release notes for [0.2.0](https://github.com/OktaSecurityLabs/sgt/blob/master/docs/Release%20Notes%200.2.0.md)

Getting started with sgt is designed to be very simple with minimal setup required. To get started, however, you will need a FEW things first.

:warning: There is current an issue with terraform version 11.5-11.10 that will cause terraform to error out during destroy. The current
workaround is to set environment variable `TF_WARN_OUTPUT_ERRORS=1` :warning:

##### prereqs:
1. An [AWS account](https://aws.amazon.com/free/) with admin access to DynamoDB, EC2, ES (ElastisearchService), Kinesis/Firehose and IAM. (note, this must be programatic access, so you can have an access key and secret to use)
2. [Golang 1.9.0+]((https://golang.org/doc/install))
3. [Terraform 11.9+](https://www.terraform.io/intro/getting-started/install.html)
4. A domain with DNS [managed via Route53](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/MigratingDNS.html) (Note: This does not mean you need to buy a domain, you can use an existing domain and just manage DNS on Route53)
5. An SSL cert with public and private keypair. This will be used to terminate TLS connections to our server see [Obtaining a free ssl cert for SGT with Letsencrypt for one method of aquiring a certificate](https://github.com/OktaSecurityLabs/sgt/blob/master/docs/letsencrypt_cert_instructions.md)
6. An aws [profile configured](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-multiple-profiles.html).

## Installation

1. Clone the repo
```commandline
git clone [email protected]:OktaSecurityLabs/sgt.git $GOPATH/src/github.com/oktasecuritylabs/sgt
```
2. change into the downloaded directory
```commandline
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/oktasecuritylabs/sgt
```

3. Build the project
```commandline
go build
```
4. Copy your ssl certs to the proper directory. For this example, I'm using a subdomain of example.com
with a letsencrypt certificate, sgt-demo.example.com. Lets encrypt certs live in `/etc/letsencrypt/live/`
so I'm copying them from there into the cert directory for SGT.
```commandline
sudo cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/sgt-demo.example.com/fullchain.pem certs/fullchain.pem
sudo cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/sgt-demo.example.com/privkey.pem certs/privkey.pem
```

5. Rename your certs to reflect which site they belong to. I recommend following the example format of
```commandline
example.domain.com.fullchain.pem
```
moving...
```commandline
cd certs
mv fullchain.pem sgt-demo.example.com.fullchain.pem
mv privkey.pem sgt-demo.example.com.privkey.pem
cd ..
```

6. Create a new environment by following the prompts
```commandline
./sgt wizard
```
6a. Enter a name for your environment (I'm calling my demo one sgt-demo)
```commandline
Enter new environment name. This is typically something like'Dev' or 'Prod' or 'Testing, but can be anything you want it to be: sgt-demo
```
6b. Choose the AWS profile to use (Mine is again called sgt-demo)
```commandline
Enter the name for the aws profile you'd like to use to deploy this environment
if you've never created a profile before, you can read more about how to do this here
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-multiple-profiles.html
a 'default' profile is created if you've installed and configured the aws cli:
sgt-demo
```
6c. Enter the IP address that you are currently deploying from.
```commandline
Enter an ipaddress or cidr block for access to your elasticsearch cluster.
Note: This should probably be your current IP address, as you will need to be able to access
elasticsearch via API to create the proper indices and mappings when deploying: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/24
```
6d. Name your log bucket. I recommend something easily identified for your domain.
```commandline
Enter a name for the s3 bucket that will hold your osquery logs.
Remeber, S3 bucket names must be globally unique: sgt-demo.log.bucket
```
6e. And your config bucket...
```commandline
Enter a name for the s3 bucket that will hold your server configuration
Remember, S3 bucket names must be globally unique:
sgt-demo.configuration.bucket
```
6f. Enter your root domain
```commandline
Enter the domain you will be using for your SGT server.
Note: This MUST be a domain which you have previously registered or are managing throughaws.
This will be used to create a subdomain for the SGT TLS endpoint
example.com
```
6g. Enter the subdomain (sgt-demo in my case)
```commandline
Enter a subdomain to use as the endpoint. This will be prepended to the
domain you provided as a subdomain
sgt-demo
```
6h. Enter your aws keypair name
```commandline
Enter the name of your aws keypair. This is used to access ec2 instances ifthe need
should ever arise (it shouldn't).
NOTE: This is the name of the keypair EXCLUDING the .pem flie name and it must already exist in aws
my-secret-key-name
```
6i. Enter the name of your keypair and priv key, as you named them above.
```commandline
Enter the name of the full ssl certificate chain bundle you will be using for
your SGT server. EG - full_chain.pem :
sgt-demo.example.com.fullchain.pem
Enter the name of the private key for your ssl certificate. Eg - privkey.pem:
sgt-demo.example.com.privkey.pem
```
6j. Enter the node secret
```commandline
Enter the node secret you will use to enroll your endpoints with the SGT server
This secret will be used by each endpoint to authenticate to your server:
my-super-secret-node-secret
```
6k. Enter the app secret
```commandline
Enter the app secret key which will be used to generate session tokens when
interacting with the API as an authenticated end-user. Make this long, random and complex:
diu3piqeujr302348u33rqwu934r1@#)(*@3
```
Select __N__ when prompted to continue. Because this is a demo environment, we're going to make a small change to our configuration.

7. Edit the environment config file found in `/terraform/ -all
```

This will stand up the entire environment, including endpoint configuration scripts which we will use to set up some osquery nodes later.
The entire process should take about 5-10 minutes depending on your internet connection, at which point you should be ready to install osquery on
an endpoint and start receiving logs!

-Note: This getting started guide originally appeared on [blog.securelyinsecure.com](https://blog.securelyinsecure.com), but I'm appropriating it for the docs as well, due to it being better than the last readme I wrote.

Once you've installed Go and Terraform, and built your SGT binary, its time to run your deployment!

The wizard will walk you through everything you need to configure a new environment,
create the proper directory structure and the environment specific configuration
files and stand up the environment if you choose to do so

```commandline
./sgt wizard
```
Among other things, the wizard will ask you to provide:
The "mail domain for the users of your Kibana dashboard". This should be the domain name used for the email addresses of the people who will be using the Kibana dashboard (example: company.com)

A comma delimited list of users for the Kibana dashboard. The users in the list must correspond to email addresses of the users. For example, if you wanted to initialize Kibana with 2 users (Some Guy, [email protected]; Someone Else, selse@company,com) your input at this prompt woukld be ```sguy,selse```

When you are done with the wizard, you will be prompted to either continue to deploy
the actual resources, or exit. If you choose to exit, you you will need manually deploy later

### Manual deployment

SGT can be deployed as a full environment, or individual pieces(Note that the components
still requires their dependencies to be built, they may just be updated individually to save time)

To deploy SGT...

```commandline
./sgt deploy -env -all
```

To deploy/update an individual component..

```commandline
./sgt deploy -env -components elasticsearch,firehose
```

for a full list of commands, issue the -h flag

If terraform fails at any point during this process, cancel the installation `ctrl+c` and review
your errors. SGT depends on all previous deploy steps completing successfully, so it is important
to make sure this occurs before moving on to next steps

### Creating your first user.

To create a user to interact with SGT, pass the `-create_user` flag with the requisite options

```commandline
./sgt create-user -credentials-file -profile -username -role <"Admin"|"User"|"Read-only">
```

### Getting an Authentication Token

Using any portion of the End-user facing API requires an Authorization token. To get an auth token, send a post request to
`/api/v1/get-token` supplying your username and password in the post body
```json
{"username": "my_username", "password": "my_password"}
```

If your credentials are valid, you will recieve a json response back
```json
{"Authorization": "}
```

Provide this token in any subsequent requests in the Authorization header

# Creating Additional Kibana Users Post-Deployment
1. Log into the AWS account where you deployed sgt, and go to the [cognito service page](https://console.aws.amazon.com/cognito/home?region=us-east-1#)
2. Click Manage User Pools
3. Click the User Pool you created during the sgt deployment
4. Click Users and Groups
5. Click Create User
6. In the Username text box, type the username portion of the user's email address
7. Leave the box "Send an invitation to this new user?" checked
8. Check the "Email" box
9. Un-check the "Mark phone number as verified?" box
10. In the Email text box, type the user's email address
11. Click Create User

## Documentation notes:
Documentation is lacking right now due to a rather un-fun flu season. However, updates to documentation should be expected in teh coming week or so.
