Docker-bench is a Go application that checks whether Docker is deployed securely by running the checks documented in the CIS Docker Benchmark.

Tests are configured with YAML files, making this tool easy to update as test specifications evolve.

CIS Docker Benchmark support

docker-bench currently supports tests as defined in the following CIS Docker Benchmarks:

docker-bench will determine the test set to run based on the Docker version running on the host machine. The version to run tests for can also be specified manually with the --version <Docker version> or --benchmark <CIS benchmark version> commandline flag.

Installation

Installing from sources

Install Go, then clone this repository and run as follows (assuming your $GOPATH is set):

go get github.com/aquasecurity/docker-bench
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/aquasecurity/docker-bench
go build -o docker-bench .

# See all supported options
./docker-bench --help

# Run checks
./docker-bench

# Run checks for specified Docker version
./docker-bench --version 18.09

# Run checks for specified cis Benchmark 
./docker-bench --benchmark cis-1.2

Tests

Tests are specified in definition files cfg/<version>/definitions.yaml, where <version> is the version of CIS for which the test applies.
