aws_network_acl Resource

Use the aws_network_acl InSpec audit resource to test the properties of a single Amazon network ACL.

Install

This resource is available in the Chef InSpec AWS resource pack.

For information on configuring your AWS environment for Chef InSpec and creating an InSpec profile that uses the InSpec AWS resource pack, see the Chef InSpec documentation on the AWS cloud platform.

Syntax

An aws_network_acl resource block declares the tests for a single Amazon network ACL by network_acl_id.

describe aws_network_acl(network_acl_id: 'acl-001db867a1898981b') do
  it { should exist }
end

The value of the network_acl_id can be provided as a string.

describe aws_network_acl('acl-001db867a1898981b') do
  it { should exist }
end

Parameters

The network ACL ID is required.

network_acl_id (required)

The ID of the network ACL:

must contain between 1 and 50 alphanumeric characters or hyphens
should start with acl-
cannot end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens

It can be passed either as a string or as a network_acl_id: 'value' key-value entry in a hash.

Properties

network_acl_id: The ID of the network ACL.
is_default: Indicates whether this is the default network ACL for the VPC.
vpc_id: The ID of the VPC for the network ACL.
owner_id: The ID of the AWS account that owns the network ACL.
associated_subnet_ids: The ID of the associated subnets to the network ACL.
egress: All rules that are applied to traffic leaving the subnet.
ingress: All rules that are applied to traffic incoming to the subnet.
associations: All subnet associations on the network ACL.
tags: A hash with each key-value pair corresponding to a network ACL.
egress_rule_number_*ACL_RULE_NUMBER*: This is a dynamically formed property of the egress ACL rule for a specific ACL_RULE_NUMBER. See below for nested details and examples.
ingress_rule_number_*ACL_RULE_NUMBER*: This is a dynamically formed property of the ingress ACL rule for a specific ACL_RULE_NUMBER. See below for nested details and examples.

Nested Properties of dynamic egress and ingress rule number properties

Nested Property	Description
cidr_block	The IPv4 network range to allow or deny, in CIDR notation.
ipv_6_cidr_block	The IPv6 network range to allow or deny, in CIDR notation.
protocol	The protocol specified in the entry. Accepted values are: `tcp`, `udp`, `icmp`, or a protocol number.
rule_action	Allows or denies the matching traffic. Accepted values are: `allow` or `deny`.
rule_number	The number of an entry (in other words, rule) in the set of ACL entries.
port_range.from	The start of the port range specified in the entry.
port_range.to	The end of the port range specified in the entry.
icmp_type_cod.code	The ICMP code specified in the entry, if any.
icmp_type_code.type	The ICMP type specified in the entry, if any.

Examples

Test that if a network ACL is default for the VPC.

describe aws_network_acl(network_acl_id: 'acl-001db867a1898981b') do
    it { should be_default }
end

Test that the ID of the VPC is vpc-00727fc4213acee4a.

describe aws_network_acl(network_acl_id: 'acl-001db867a1898981b') do
    its('vpc_id') { should eq 'vpc-00727fc4213acee4a' }
end

Test that the Associated subnet IDs include subnet-07a323891825bc312.

describe aws_network_acl(network_acl_id: 'acl-001db867a1898981b') do
    its('associated_subnet_ids') { should include 'subnet-07a323891825bc312' }
end

Test that CIDR Block of ACL egress entry for rule number 100 is 10.3.0.0/18.

describe aws_network_acl(network_acl_id: 'acl-001db867a1898981b') do
    its('egress_rule_number_100.cidr_block') { should eq '10.3.0.0/18' }
end

Test that Port Ranges of ACL ingress entry for rule number 100 is 443.

describe aws_network_acl(network_acl_id: 'acl-001db867a1898981b') do
    its('ingress_rule_number_100.port_range.from') { should eq '443' }
    its('ingress_rule_number_100.port_range.to') { should eq '443' }
end
