1 概述
在当今云原生应用的开发中，Kubernetes已经成为标准，然而，随着其使用的普及，也带来了安全问题的挑战。本文将介绍如何使用kube-bench工具来评估和增强Kubernetes集群的安全性。
2 CIS (Center for Internet Security)简介
CIS（Center for Internet Security）是一家致力于网络安全的非营利组织。它提供一系列针对各种操作系统和应用程序的基线安全标准，这些标准被广泛认可，是防止网络攻击的有效手段。
CIS基准是由美国计算机互联网安全中心（Center for Internet Security，简称CIS）制定的一系列全球公认的最佳实践标准，用于保护系统和数据免受威胁。这些基准包括了各种技术平台和系统的配置指南，例如操作系统、网络设备、移动设备、服务器应用等。
CIS基准提供了详细的步骤来保护特定系统，每个步骤都有清晰的说明和建议。此外，它还提供了用于评估系统是否符合CIS基准的自动化工具。遵循CIS基准能帮助组织降低安全风险并增强合规性。
在Kubernetes环境中，CIS Kubernetes基准就是一套针对Kubernetes的安全配置最佳实践。例如，CIS Kubernetes基准会涵盖如何配置kubelet，如何限制API服务器上的权限等内容。
CIS官网为：https://www.cisecurity.org/，CIS的Kubernetes Benchmark文件下载方法如下：
进入CIS（Center for Internet Security）官网。
找到CIS Benchmarks，点击DOWNLOAD LATEST。
我们需要的是kubernetes的benchmarks，找到Kubernetes，点击DOWNLOAD THE BENCHMARK。
填写信息，就可以免费下载kubernetes的Benchmark PDF文件了。
下载之后得到的文件为：CIS_Kubernetes_Benchmark_v1.6.0.pdf。
或者直接去https://downloads.cisecurity.org/#/下载，找到kubernetes，选择合适的版本下载即可。
3 什么是Kube-Bench？
Kube-Bench是一个开源的Go语言工具，用于自动化检查Kubernetes集群是否符合CIS Kubernetes基准。这些基准包括一系列关于Kubernetes配置和部署安全性的建议和最佳实践。
Kube-Bench执行了一系列针对Kubernetes组件（如kube-apiserver、etcd、kube-scheduler、kube-controller-manager等）的测试，来检查它们是否按照CIS基准的推荐进行了配置。测试结果会被分类为PASS、FAIL或WARN，以清晰明了地显示哪些地方需要改进。
Kube-Bench是在运行时检查Kubernetes环境的工具，它并不会修改系统。你可以定期运行kube-bench来审计你的Kubernetes环境，确保其保持在最佳的安全状态。
kube-bench在GitHub的网址为：GitHub - aquasecurity/kube-bench: Checks whether Kubernetes is deployed according to security best practices as defined in the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark
可在 Tags · aquasecurity/kube-bench · GitHub 下载kube-bench工具。

4 使用kube-bench检测不安全的设置
4.1 手动设置不安全的参数
按照CIS_Kubernetes_Benchmark文件设置kubernetes集群安全有点麻烦，我们使用工具kube-bench检测kubernetes集群安全。
创建备份目录。
$ mkdir /bak把/etc/kubernetes/manifests/下的文件备份，后面要修改配置文件，如果修改错误之后可以复原。
$ cd /etc/kubernetes/manifests/
$ ls
etcd.yaml kube-apiserver.yaml kube-controller-manager.yaml kube-scheduler.yaml
#cp -a: 递归复制，复制的数据会保留原有数据的时间戳等信息（具体：时间戳+所有权+复制连结文件属性而非档案本身）
#cp -r: 递归复制，复制的数据会使用新的时间戳等信息
$ cp -a * /bak/现在文件就备份好了。
$ ls /bak/
etcd.yaml kube-apiserver.yaml kube-controller-manager.yaml kube-scheduler.yaml我们把etcd.yaml文件里的client-cert-auth=true改为client-cert-auth=false。
$ pwd
/etc/kubernetes/manifests
$ ls
etcd.yaml kube-apiserver.yaml kube-controller-manager.yaml kube-scheduler.yaml
$ vim etcd.yaml
#修改--client-cert-auth=false后保存退出
$ grep client-cert-auth etcd.yaml
- --client-cert-auth=false
- --peer-client-cert-auth=true我们把authorization-mode授权模式改为AlwaysAllow。
$ vim kube-apiserver.yaml
修改 --authorization-mode=AlwaysAllow
$ grep authorization-mode kube-apiserver.yaml
# - --authorization-mode=Node,RBAC
- --authorization-mode=AlwaysAllow重启kubelet使配置生效。
$ systemctl restart kubelet
$ systemctl status kubelet

kube-bench我们已经下载好了，没有下载的可以去这个网站下载：https://github.com/aquasecurity/kube-bench/tags 。
$ ls
kube-bench_0.6.17_linux_amd64.tar.gz解压kube-bench_0.6.7_linux_amd64.tar.gz之后得到cfg和kube-bench。
$ tar xf kube-bench_0.6.7_linux_amd64.tar.gz
$ ls
cfg kube-bench kube-bench_0.6.7_linux_amd64.tar.gz
进入 cfg目录，cfg/config.yaml包含了master包含哪些组件，配置文件放在哪里，需要去哪里读取配置文件等等，如果k8s的某些配置文件自定义放到了某个目录，修改config.yaml里的相应目录就行。
$ ls cfg/
ack-1.0 aks-1.0 cis-1.20 cis-1.5 cis-1.6 config.yaml eks-1.0.1 gke-1.0 gke-1.2.0 rh-0.7 rh-1.0
$ cd cfg/cis-1.6/
#etcd.yaml文件记录了需要检测etcd的信息
$ ls
config.yaml controlplane.yaml etcd.yaml master.yaml node.yaml policies.yaml4.3 kube-bench检测etcd组件
kube-bench V0.31版本执行方法为：./kube-bench ，./kube-bench master(检测master设置) ，./kube-bench node（检测worker设置），但是新版本kube-bench不能这样执行。
$ cd
$ ./kube-bench node
Error: unknown command "node" for "./kube-bench"
Run './kube-bench --help' for usage.
unknown command "node" for "./kube-bench"执行新版本kube-bench需要指定配置目录，检测语法为：./kube-bench --config-dir 配置目录 --config 配置文件 run --targets=需要检测的组件。
$ pwd
/root
$ ls
cfg kube-bench kube-bench_0.6.7_linux_amd64.tar.gz
#--targets=检测的组件就是cfg/cis-1.6/目录下的那些组件
$ ls cfg/cis-1.6/
config.yaml controlplane.yaml etcd.yaml master.yaml node.yaml policies.yaml我们现在使用kube-bench开始检测etcd组件，可以看到etcd组件有6个PASS，1个FAIL。
$ pwd
/root
$ ls
cfg kube-bench kube-bench_0.6.7_linux_amd64.tar.gz
$ ./kube-bench --config-dir `pwd`/cfg --config `pwd`/cfg/config.yaml run --targets=etcd

$ vim /etc/kubernetes/manifests/etcd.yaml
# 修改--client-cert-auth=true。

5 总结
kube-bench是一款强大的工具，它可以帮助我们发现哪些Kubernetes配置没有遵循CIS的最佳实践，从而改正这些问题，增强我们的Kubernetes集群的安全性。虽然kube-bench不能捕获所有可能的安全问题，但它至少可以帮助我们消除最常见的一些安全漏洞。
kube-bench只是一个检查工具，它不能自动修复发现的问题。它提供的是关于哪些配置可能需要您的注意的信息。对于任何可能的配置更改，都需要由具备相应知识的管理员审慎决定并手动实施。
