Prowler for Linode scans your Linode infrastructure for security misconfigurations, including compute settings, networking rules, user account security, and more.
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
Linode support in Prowler is community-maintained. For commercial support or to request additional service coverage, [contact us](https://prowler.com/contact).
|
|
</Note>
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Set up authentication for Linode with the [Linode Authentication](/user-guide/providers/linode/authentication) guide before starting:
|
|
|
|
- Create a Linode Personal Access Token with read-only permissions
|
|
- The token requires at minimum: `account:read_only`, `linodes:read_only`, and `firewall:read_only` scopes
|
|
|
|
## Prowler CLI
|
|
|
|
### Run Prowler for Linode
|
|
|
|
Once authenticated with a Personal Access Token, set the `LINODE_TOKEN` environment variable and run Prowler for Linode. Prowler reads the token exclusively from the environment variable, so the secret is never exposed in shell history or process listings:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export LINODE_TOKEN="your-personal-access-token"
|
|
prowler linode
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Run Specific Checks
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
prowler linode --checks compute_instance_backups_enabled compute_instance_watchdog_enabled
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Run a Specific Service
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
prowler linode --services networking
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Scan Specific Regions
|
|
|
|
Use `--region` (alias `--filter-region` / `-f`) to limit the scan to one or more Linode regions. Region-less resources (account administration and Cloud Firewalls) are always scanned; only regional resources such as instances are filtered. When the flag is omitted, all regions are scanned.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
prowler linode --region eu-central us-east
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
