1.0 alpha 1, an implementation of the documented Sun Basic Security Module (BSM) Audit API and file format, as well as local extensions to support the Mac OS X and FreeBSD operating systems. Also included are command line tools for audit trail reduction and conversion to text, as well as documentation of the commands, file format, and APIs. This distribution is the foundation for the TrustedBSD Audit implementation, and is a pre-release. This is the first in a series of commits to introduce support for Common Criteria CAPP security event audit support. This software has been made possible through the generous contributions of Apple Computer, Inc., SPARTA, Inc., as well as members of the TrustedBSD Project, including Wayne Salamon <wsalamon> and Tom Rhodes <trhodes>. The original OpenBSM implementation was created by McAfee Research under contract to Apple Computer, Inc., as part of their CC CAPP security evaluation.

Introduction
|
|
|
|
OpenBSM provides an open source implementation of Sun's BSM Audit API.
|
|
Originally created under contract to Apple Computer by McAfee Research,
|
|
this implementation is now maintained by volunteers and the generous
|
|
contribution of several organizations. Coupled with a kernel audit
|
|
implementation, OpenBSM can be used to maintain system audit streams, and
|
|
is a foundation for an Audit-enabled system.
|
|
|
|
Contents
|
|
|
|
OpenBSM consists of several directories:
|
|
|
|
bin/ Audit-related command line tools
|
|
bsm/ System include files for BSM
|
|
etc/ Sample /etc/security configuration files
|
|
libbsm/ Implementation of BSM library interfaces and man pages
|
|
man/ System call and configuration file man pages
|
|
|
|
OpenBSM currently builds on FreeBSD and Darwin. With Makefile adjustment
|
|
and minor tweaks, it should build without problems on a broad range of
|
|
POSIX-like systems.
|
|
|
|
Building
|
|
|
|
OpenBSM is currently built using a series of BSD make files which should
|
|
work on both FreeBSD and Darwin. One known issue is that versions of
|
|
Darwin prior to 10.3.8 have a nested include of "sys/audit.h" from
|
|
"sys/proc.h", which can result in type definition conflicts. If running
|
|
with include files from an earlier version of Darwin, the nested include
|
|
must be manually removed in order that libbsm can be built, due to
|
|
potentially conflicting types resulting from an include of "sys/sysctl.h"
|
|
by that file. On Darwin, the use of BSD make must be specified explicitly
|
|
by using "bsdmake" rather than "make", which on Darwin refers to GNU make.
|
|
Typical invocations from the OpenBSM tree root:
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD
|
|
|
|
% make
|
|
# make install
|
|
|
|
Darwin
|
|
|
|
% bsdmake
|
|
# bsdmake install
|
