security-monitor

What This Skill Does

The security-monitor skill is a robust auditing suite designed to fortify OpenClaw agent deployments. It operates as a comprehensive security diagnostic tool that evaluates the security posture of your infrastructure across five critical vectors: OpenClaw application settings, Docker container configuration, SSH accessibility, network services, and file system permissions. By executing a series of internal scripts, the agent performs a deep scan of your environment, identifying misconfigurations such as world-readable sensitive files, insecure network port bindings, or improper root authentication settings. Upon completion, the tool synthesizes these findings into a normalized security score out of 100, accompanied by a prioritized list of actionable recommendations for immediate hardening.

Installation

To integrate the security-monitor skill into your OpenClaw environment, ensure you have the OpenClaw CLI properly initialized. Use the following installation command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/aiwithabidi/security-monitor-deploy

Once installed, you can trigger the audit by invoking the agent skill directly or running the bash scripts located in your {baseDir}/scripts/ directory. For automated DevOps pipelines, use the --json flag to capture results in a machine-readable format for downstream security dashboards.

Use Cases

• Production Readiness Checks: Verify that your public-facing deployment adheres to industry-standard hardening guidelines before going live.
• Continuous Compliance: Schedule recurring security audits to ensure that no configuration drift has introduced vulnerabilities over time.
• Post-Incident Forensics: Run a targeted audit after any suspicious activity to confirm that services remain locked down according to security policy.
• Onboarding Security: Use this tool to instantly evaluate the configuration of a newly acquired or provisioned OpenClaw node.

Example Prompts

1. "Run a full security audit on this server and list the top three critical vulnerabilities I should fix immediately."
2. "Perform a security scan specifically focused on my Docker port configurations to ensure nothing is exposed to the public internet."
3. "Check the file system permissions and SSH settings, then provide a JSON report of the findings for my log aggregator."

Tips & Limitations

• Tip: Run the script with sudo privileges if you suspect permissions issues with system-level configuration files like /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
• Tip: Use the --check flag to isolate specific areas of your infrastructure if you are performing incremental maintenance.
• Limitation: The skill performs static configuration analysis. It does not replace active intrusion detection systems (IDS) or real-time traffic monitoring tools.
• Limitation: Always review the recommended changes manually before applying automated fixes to avoid accidental service disruption in production environments.
