Checklist Summary:

This document provides prescriptive guidance for establishing a secure configuration posture for the Robot Operating System (ROS) Melodic running on Ubuntu Linux 18.04. Many lists are included including filesystem types, services, clients, and network protocols. Not all items in these lists are guaranteed to exist on all installations and additional similar items may exist which should be considered in addition to those explicitly mentioned. The guidance within broadly assumes that operations are being performed using sudo from a standard user account, and that ROS applications are running under a non-privileged user account. Operations performed using sudo instead of the root user may produce unexpected results, or fail to make the intended changes to the system, so all changes should be validated. The guidance in this document includes changes to the running system configuration. Failure to test system configuration changes in a test environment prior to implementation on a production system could lead to loss of services.
