aa-genprof(8)


NAME

   aa-genprof - profile generation utility for AppArmor

SYNOPSIS

   aa-genprof <executable> [-d /path/to/profiles] [-f /path/to/logfile]

OPTIONS

   -d --dir  /path/to/profiles

      Specifies where to look for the AppArmor security profile set.
      Defaults to /etc/apparmor.d.

   -f --file  /path/to/logfile

           Specifies the location of logfile.
           Default locations are read from F</etc/apparmor/logprof.conf>.
           Typical defaults are:
                    /var/log/audit/audit.log
                    /var/log/syslog
                    /var/log/messages

DESCRIPTION

   When running aa-genprof, you must specify a program to profile.  If the
   specified program is not a fully-qualified path, aa-genprof will search
   $PATH in order to find the program.

   If a profile does not exist for the program, aa-genprof will create one
   using aa-autodep(1).

   Genprof will then:

      - set the profile to complain mode

      - write a mark to the system log

      - instruct the user to start the application to
        be profiled in another window and exercise its functionality

   It then presents the user with two options, (S)can system log for
   entries to add to profile and (F)inish.

   If the user selects (S)can or hits return, aa-genprof will parse the
   complain mode logs and iterate through generated violations using
   aa-logprof(1).

   After the user finishes selecting profile entries based on violations
   that were detected during the program execution, aa-genprof will reload
   the updated profiles in complain mode and again prompt the user for
   (S)can and (F)inish. This cycle can then be repeated as necessary until
   all application functionality has been exercised without generating
   access violations.

   When the user eventually hits (F)inish, aa-genprof will set the main
   profile, and any other profiles that were generated, into enforce mode
   and exit.
