We run a couple of automated
scans to help you access a
module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Description

Install usbguard and configure the daemon and rules.

https://dkopecek.github.io/usbguard/

Usbguard is available for RHEL/CentOS >= 7.4 and Fedora.

Setup

What usbguard affects

  • the usbguard package
  • the usbguard-daemon.conf file
  • the rules file (by default /etc/usbguard/rules-managed-by-puppet.conf)

Beginning with usbguard

Just include ::usbguard to start without any rule - but it won't

Usage

Install, configure some rules and start the service:

include ::usbguard

$rule_content = @(CONTENT)
  allow with-interface equals { 08:*:* }
  reject with-interface all-of { 08:*:* 03:00:* }
  reject with-interface all-of { 08:*:* 03:01:* }
  reject with-interface all-of { 08:*:* e0:*:* }
  reject with-interface all-of { 08:*:* 02:*:* }
  | CONTENT

# DON'T DO THIS ON YOUR COMPUTER OR YOU MIGHT LOCK YOU OUT
# this is just an example. :-)
usbguard::rule { 'allow usb disks without keyboard interface':
  rule => $rule_content,
}

Limitations

  • The usbguard package for RHEL/CentOS is only available for 7.4 and later or you need to configure a external repo on your own (this module will never fiddle with your repo config)

Development

No defined process available. :-) Github pull-request style.
