Web tool to generate scripts for enforcing privacy & security best-practices such as stopping data collection of Windows and different softwares on it.

|
> because privacy is sexy 🍑🍆

|
## Why privacy.sexy
|
|
|
|
- You don't need to run any compiled software on your system, just run the generated scripts.
|
|
- It's open source, both application & infrastructure is 100% transparent
|
|
- Fully automated C/CD pipeline to AWS for provisioning serverless infrastructure using GitHub actions.
|
|
- Have full visibility into what the tweaks do as you enable them.
|
|
- Easily extendable
|
|
|
|
## Extend scripts
|
|
|
|
Fork it & add more scripts in `src/application/application.yml` and send a pull request 👌
|
|
|
|
## Commands
|
|
|
|
- Setup and run
|
|
- For development:
|
|
- `npm install` to project setup.
|
|
- `npm run serve` to compile & hot-reload for development.
|
|
- Production (using Docker):
|
|
- Build `docker build -t undergroundwires/privacy.sexy .`
|
|
- Run `docker run -it -p 8080:8080 --rm --name privacy.sexy-1 undergroundwires/privacy.sexy`
|
|
- Prepare for production: `npm run build`
|
|
- Run tests: `npm run test:unit`
|
|
- Lint and fix files: `npm run lint`
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
### Application
|
|
|
|
- Powered by **TypeScript** + **Vue.js** 💪
|
|
- and driven by **Domain-driven design**, **Event-driven architecture**, **Data-driven programming** concepts.
|
|
- Application uses highly decoupled models & services in different DDD layers.
|
|
- **Domain layer** is where the application is modelled with validation logic.
|
|
- **Presentation Layer**
|
|
- Consists of Vue.js components & UI stuff.
|
|
- Event driven as in components simply listens to events from the state and act accordingly.
|
|
- **Application Layer**
|
|
- Keeps the application state
|
|
- The [state](src/application/State/ApplicationState.ts) is a mutable singleton & event producer.
|
|
- The application is defined & controlled in a [single YAML file](`\application\application.yaml`) (see [Data-driven programming](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-driven_programming))
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### AWS Infrastructure
|
|
|
|
- The application runs in AWS 100% serverless and automatically provisioned using [CloudFormation files](/aws) and GitHub Actions.
|
|
- Maximum security & automation and minimum AWS costs were the highest priorities of the design.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### GitOps: CI/CD to AWS
|
|
|
|
- Everything that's merged in the master goes directly to production.
|
|
- Deploy infrastructure ► Deploy web application ► Invalidate CloudFront Cache
|
|
- See more at [build-and-deploy.yaml](.GitHub/workflows/build-and-deploy.yaml)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
##### CloudFormation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- AWS infrastructure is defined as code with following files:
|
|
- `iam-stack`: Creates & updates the deployment user.
|
|
- Everything in IAM layer is fine-grained using least privileges principle.
|
|
- Each deployment step has its own temporary credentials with own permissions.
|
|
- `certificate-stack.yaml`
|
|
- It'll generate SSL certification for the root domain and www subdomain.
|
|
- ❗ It [must](https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/cloudfront-invalid-viewer-certificate/) be deployed in `us-east-1` to be able to be used by CloudFront by `web-stack`.
|
|
- It uses CustomResource and a lambda instead of native `AWS::CertificateManager::Certificate` because:
|
|
- Problem:
|
|
- AWS variant waits until a certificate is validated.
|
|
- There's no way to automate validation without workaround.
|
|
- Solution:
|
|
- Deploy a lambda that deploys the certificate (so we don't wait until certificate is validated)
|
|
- Get DNS records to be used in validation & export it to be used later.
|
|
- `web-stack.yaml`: It'll deploy S3 bucket and CloudFront in front of it.
|
|
- `dns-stack.yaml`: It'll deploy Route53 hosted zone
|
|
- Each time Route53 hosted zone is re-created it's required to update the DNS records in the domain registrar. See *Configure your domain registrar*.
|
|
- I use cross stacks instead of single stack or nested stacks because:
|
|
- Easier to test & maintain & smaller files and different lifecycles for different areas.
|
|
- It allows to deploy web bucket in different region than others as other stacks are global (`us-east-1`) resources.
|
|
|
|
##### Initial deployment
|
|
|
|
- ❗ Prerequisite: A registered domain name for website.
|
|
|
|
1. **Configure build agent (GitHub actions)**
|
|
- Deploy manually `iam-stack.yaml` with stack name `privacysexy-iam-stack` (to follow the convention)
|
|
- It'll give you deploy user. Go to console & generate secret id + key (Security credentials => Create access key) for the user [IAM users](https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home#/users).
|
|
- 🚶 Deploy secrets:
|
|
- Add secret id & key in GitHub Secrets.
|
|
- `AWS_DEPLOYMENT_USER_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `AWS_DEPLOYMENT_USER_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`
|
|
- Add more secrets given from Outputs section of the CloudFormation stack.
|
|
- Run GitHub actions to deploy rest of the application.
|
|
- It'll run `certificate-stack.yaml` and then `iam-stack.yaml`.
|
|
|
|
2. **Configure your domain registrar**
|
|
- ❗ **Web stack will fail** after DNS stack because you need to validate your domain.
|
|
- 🚶 Go to your domain registrar and change name servers to NS values
|
|
- `dns-stack.yaml` outputs those in CloudFormation stack.
|
|
- You can alternatively find those in [Route53](https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/home#hosted-zones)
|
|
- When nameservers of your domain updated, the certification will get validated automatically, you can then delete the failed stack in CloudFormation & re-run the GitHub actions.
