Control: IP Forwarding on your virtual machine should be disabled

Description

Enabling IP forwarding on a virtual machine's NIC allows the machine to receive traffic addressed to other destinations. IP forwarding is rarely required (e.g., when using the VM as a network virtual appliance), and therefore, this should be reviewed by the network security team.

Usage

Run the control in your terminal:

powerpipe control run azure_compliance.control.network_interface_ip_forwarding_disabled

Snapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:

powerpipe login
powerpipe control run azure_compliance.control.network_interface_ip_forwarding_disabled --share

SQL

This control uses a named query:

network_interface_ip_forwarding_disabled
