Hardening Framework releases updated Ansbile os-hardening and ssh-hardening

Continuously, the Hardening Framework improves its framework to cover up-to-date server hardening. Sebastian Gumprich and Anton Lugovoi did an amazing job to improve the Ansible implementation for os-hardening and ssh-hardening. Core focus of the last release was to improve and ease the installation via Ansible Galaxy.

For os-hardening:

• Fix a bug in the passwdqc template (#51)
• Change directory layout so the role is easily installable from ansible-galaxy (#49)
• Improved travis-tests to cover more cases (#42)
• Fix passwdqc default options (#44)
• Remove duplicate “update pam” task (#46)
• Fix stuck in case pam files was updated before by force update (#45)
• Fix nologin shell path (#44)

For ssh-hardening:

• adds more tests (#42)
• support for sftp-enabling (#41
• and a new directory layout, making the role easily installable from ansible-galaxy (#44).

The Hardening Framework is also available for Chef and Puppet. Be sure to follow us on Twitter for the latest updates.
