Config + health indicators + best practise script

[the_rock]

Hey guys,

This script provided general config, health indicators, and also best practise recommendations for Gaia OS. As usual, please run dos2unix and chmod 777 before testing it.

My lab output:

[Expert@CP-GW:0]# ./cp_bestpractice_audit.sh

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check Point Gaia Best-Practice Audit (Read-Only)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Timestamp: Tue Jan 20 08:12:12 EST 2026
Host: CP-GW
Report: /var/log/cp_bestpractice_audit_20260120_081212.txt

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Platform / Version
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[CMD] Gaia & product version
clish -c "show version all"
----- OUTPUT BEGIN -----
Product version Check Point Gaia R82
OS build 777
OS kernel version 4.18.0-372.9.1cpx86_64
OS edition 64-bit
----- OUTPUT END -------

[CMD] Hostname / domain
clish -c "show hostname"; clish -c "show domainname"
----- OUTPUT BEGIN -----
CP-GW
----- OUTPUT END -------

[CMD] Check Point services state (cpwd)
have cpwd_admin && cpwd_admin list || echo "cpwd_admin not available"
----- OUTPUT BEGIN -----
bash: have: command not found
cpwd_admin not available
----- OUTPUT END -------

[CMD] Installed policy status (cpstat fw)
have cpstat && cpstat fw || echo "cpstat not available"
----- OUTPUT BEGIN -----
bash: have: command not found
cpstat not available
----- OUTPUT END -------

[CMD] Policy install details (fw stat -l)
have fw && fw stat -l || echo "fw command not available"
----- OUTPUT BEGIN -----
bash: have: command not found
fw command not available
----- OUTPUT END -------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Time, Timezone, NTP (Best Practice: enable NTP)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[CMD] Current time / timezone
clish -c "show time"; clish -c "show timezone"
----- OUTPUT BEGIN -----
Time 08:12:15
Time Zone: Canada/Eastern (GMT -05:00)
----- OUTPUT END -------

No
[WARN] NTP may be disabled or not configured. Best practice: enable NTP and define reliable servers.

[CMD] NTP servers
clish -c "show ntp servers"
----- OUTPUT BEGIN -----
IP Address Type Version Preferred

ntp2.checkpoint.com server 4 no
ntp.checkpoint.com server 4 yes
----- OUTPUT END -------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) DNS & Management Plane Exposure
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[CMD] DNS configuration
clish -c "show dns primary"; clish -c "show dns secondary"; clish -c "show dns tertiary" 2>/dev/null || true
----- OUTPUT BEGIN -----
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
1.1.1.1
----- OUTPUT END -------

[CMD] Management interface
clish -c "show management interface"
----- OUTPUT BEGIN -----
eth0
----- OUTPUT END -------

[CMD] Allowed management clients (best practice: restrict)
clish -c "show allowed-client all"
----- OUTPUT BEGIN -----
Type Address Mask Length

Host Any
----- OUTPUT END -------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) SSH Hardening Indicators (Read-Only)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[CMD] SSHD effective indicators (sshd_config)
egrep -n '^(Port|Protocol|PermitRootLogin|PasswordAuthentication|PubkeyAuthentication|AllowUsers|AllowGroups|ClientAliveInterval|ClientAliveCountMax|MaxAuthTries|LoginGraceTime)\b' '/etc/ssh/sshd_config' || true
----- OUTPUT BEGIN -----
157:PermitRootLogin yes
158:PasswordAuthentication yes
166:PasswordAuthentication no
167:PermitRootLogin no
168:ClientAliveInterval 0
----- OUTPUT END -------
[PASS] PermitRootLogin is set to 'no' (good).
[PASS] PasswordAuthentication is 'no' (keys-only) (good).
[INFO] SSH Port detected: 22 (default or not set)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5) Password Policy Reminder (Gaia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Best practice: enforce strong password policy (complexity, reuse history, expiration, lockout for unused accounts). Review in Gaia settings.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6) Cluster / HA (if applicable)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[CMD] ClusterXL status
cphaprob stat
----- OUTPUT BEGIN -----

HA module not started.

This gateway not configured as cluster
----- OUTPUT END -------

[CMD] Cluster sync status
cphaprob syncstat
----- OUTPUT BEGIN -----

HA module not configured.

----- OUTPUT END -------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7) Kernel & Connections Snapshot (fw ctl pstat)

[INFO] Validate Threat Prevention profiles/policy, updates, and HTTPS Inspection according to Check Point Threat Prevention best practices & admin guidance.
[INFO] Docs to consult (see citations in chat response): R81 Threat Prevention Best Practices + R81.20 Threat Prevention Admin Guide.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10) Optional: CPInfo Collection (heavy) - Use --cpinfo

Report saved to: /var/log/cp_bestpractice_audit_20260120_081212.txt
[INFO] This script is read-only. Use SmartConsole/Gaia UI to implement changes.

Quick best-practice reminders:
- Keep software up to date and follow vendor hardening guidance.
- Restrict management access (allowed clients / admin-plane ACLs).
- Enable NTP with reliable sources.
- Prefer SSH keys; disable root login and password auth if feasible.
- Review password policy (complexity/history/expiration/lockout).
- Review Threat Prevention profiles/policy, updates, and HTTPS inspection where appropriate.
