RHEL 6 DISA STIG
Configure RHEL 6 to be DISA STIG compliant. CAT I findings will be corrected by default. CAT II and CAT III findings can be corrected by setting the appropriate variable to enable those tasks.
Not all findings can be remediated automatically, or they require more complex automation specific to your environment in order to be remediated appropriately. See comments in tasks/cat1.yml, tasks/cat2.yml, tasks/cat3.yml
for these findings.
This role will make changes to the system that could break things. This is not an auditing tool but rather a remediation tool to be used for system hardening before or after an audit has been conducted.
Installing from Ansible Galaxy

use the following command:
ansible-galaxy install -p roles nousdefions.STIG-RHEL6
Based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 STIG Version 1 Release 18 - 2018-01-26.

Tags
Each task is tagged with its category, severity, whether or not it is a patch or audit task, and the finding ID, e.g., V-38462. In addition to these four basic tags that all tasks have, there are human-friendly tags such as "ssh" or "dod_logon_banner".
A number of preliminary tasks that do things such as enumerate services on the system and check for the existence of various files will always run unless explicitly skipped by using --skip tags prelim_tasks
.
Some examples of using tags:
# Only run tasks that secure ssh
ansible-playbook site.yml --tags ssh
# Don't change SNMP or postfix
ansible-playbook site.yml --skip-tags postfix,mail,snmp
