This file describes SETools, developed by Tresys Technology. SETools is a collection of graphical tools, command-line tools, and libraries designed to facilitate SELinux policy analysis. Please consult the KNOWN-BUGS file prior to reporting bugs.
SETools uses the Python setuptools build system to build, and install. As such it contains a setup.py script that will install the tools.
To run SETools, the following packages are required:
- Python 2.7 or 3.3+
- NetworkX 1.8+
- PyQt5
- setuptools
- libselinux (Python bindings optional but recommended)
- libbz2
To build SETools, the following development packages are required, in addition to the development packages from the above list:
- gcc
- bison
- flex
- libsepol 2.4+
- SWIG 2.0.12+ or 3.0+
To run SETools unit tests, the following packages are required, in addition to the above dependencies:
- mock (on Python 2.7 only)
- tox (optional)
Unpack the official distribution or check out the git repository, and perform the following at the root:
$ python setup.py build
$ python setup.py install
This will put the applications in /usr/bin, data files in /usr/share/setools, and libraries in /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages/setools.
Please see python setup.py --help or python setup.py install --help
for up-to-date information on build and install options, respectively.
One goal for SETools is to provide confidence in the validity of the output for the tools. The unit tests for SETools can be run with the following command
$ python setup.py test
SETools encompasses a number of tools, both graphical and command line, and libraries. Many of the programs have help files accessible during runtime.
TBD
Some tools in the SETools suite may be run in a terminal environment.
| Tool Name | Use |
|---|---|
| sedta | Perform domain transition analyses |
| seinfo | List policy components. |
| seinfoflow | Perform information flow analyses. |
| sesearch | Search rules (allow, type_transition, etc.) |
The SETools libraries are available for use in third-party applications. Although this is not officially supported, we will do our best to maintain API stability.
