Tailscale is a VPN service that makes the devices and applications you own accessible anywhere in the world, securely and effortlessly. It enables encrypted point-to-point connections using the open source WireGuard protocol, which means only devices on your private network can communicate with each other.

Tailscale Security Best Practices provides best practices for using these features to harden your Tailscale deployment.

Steampipe is an open source CLI to instantly query cloud APIs using SQL.

Steampipe Mods are collections of named queries, and codified controls that can be used to test current configuration of your cloud resources against a desired configuration.

Getting started

Installation

Download and install Steampipe (https://steampipe.io/downloads). Or use Brew:

brew tap turbot/tap
brew install steampipe

Install the Tailscale plugin with Steampipe:

steampipe plugin install tailscale

Clone:

git clone https://github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-tailscale-compliance.git
cd steampipe-mod-tailscale-compliance

Usage

Start your dashboard server to get started:

steampipe dashboard

By default, the dashboard interface will then be launched in a new browser window at https://localhost:9194. From here, you can run benchmarks by selecting one or searching for a specific one.

Instead of running benchmarks in a dashboard, you can also run them within your terminal with the steampipe check command:

Run all benchmarks:

steampipe check all

Run a single benchmark:

steampipe check benchmark.security_best_practices

Run a specific control:

steampipe check control.security_best_practices_device_authorization_enabled

Different output formats are also available, for more information please see Output Formats.

Credentials

This mod uses the credentials configured in the Steampipe Tailscale plugin.

Configuration

No extra configuration is required.
