# Security Monitor 🛡️

**Comprehensive security audit for OpenClaw deployments.**

Scans your Docker configuration, SSH settings, firewall rules, OpenClaw config, and file permissions. Produces a security score (0-100) with actionable recommendations.

## Quick Start

```bash
# Run full audit
bash {baseDir}/scripts/security_audit.sh

# JSON output
bash {baseDir}/scripts/security_audit.sh --json

# Specific checks only
bash {baseDir}/scripts/security_audit.sh --check docker
bash {baseDir}/scripts/security_audit.sh --check ssh
bash {baseDir}/scripts/security_audit.sh --check config
bash {baseDir}/scripts/security_audit.sh --check files
bash {baseDir}/scripts/security_audit.sh --check network
```

## What It Checks

### OpenClaw Config (25 points)
- `allowInsecureAuth` must be `false`
- `dmPolicy` must not be open/allow-all
- Port bindings must use `127.0.0.1`
- API keys not hardcoded in config
- Secure model permissions

### Docker Security (25 points)
- All port bindings use `127.0.0.1` (not `0.0.0.0`)
- No privileged containers (except necessary)
- Docker socket permissions
- Container resource limits
- No `--net=host` unless needed

### SSH Configuration (20 points)
- Root login disabled (`PermitRootLogin no`)
- Password authentication disabled
- Key-based auth only
- Non-standard port (bonus)
- Fail2ban or similar active

### Network & Services (15 points)
- No unnecessary exposed ports
- Firewall active (ufw/iptables)
- Only expected services listening
- HTTPS/TLS termination configured

### File Permissions (15 points)
- openclaw.json not world-readable
- SSH keys proper permissions (600)
- .env files not world-readable
- Docker socket permissions
- No sensitive files in /tmp
