CDK - Zero Dependency Container Penetration Toolkit

English | 简体中文

Legal Disclaimer

Usage of CDK for attacking targets without prior mutual consent is illegal. CDK is for security testing purposes only.

Overview

CDK is an open-sourced container penetration toolkit, designed for offering stable exploitation in different slimmed containers without any OS dependency. It comes with useful net-tools and many powerful PoCs/EXPs helps you to escape container and takeover K8s cluster easily.

Currently still under development, submit issues or mail [email protected] if you need any help.

Installation

Download latest release in: https://github.com/cdk-team/CDK/releases/

Drop executable files into target container and start testing.

Usage

Usage:
  cdk evaluate [--full]
  cdk run (--list | <exploit> [<args>...])
  cdk auto-escape <cmd>
  cdk <tool> [<args>...]

Evaluate:
  cdk evaluate                              Gather information to find weakness inside container.
  cdk evaluate --full                       Enable file scan during information gathering.

Exploit:
  cdk run --list                            List all available exploits.
  cdk run <exploit> [<args>...]             Run single exploit, docs in https://github.com/cdk-team/CDK/wiki

Auto Escape:
  cdk auto-escape <cmd>                     Escape container in different ways then let target execute <cmd>.

Tool:
  vi <file>                                 Edit files in container like "vi" command.
  ps                                        Show process information like "ps -ef" command.
  nc [options]                              Create TCP tunnel.
  ifconfig                                  Show network information.
  kcurl <path> (get|post) <uri> <data>      Make request to K8s api-server.
  ucurl (get|post) <socket> <uri> <data>    Make request to docker unix socket.
  probe <ip> <port> <parallel> <timeout-ms> TCP port scan, example: cdk probe 10.0.1.0-255 80,8080-9443 50 1000

Options:
  -h --help     Show this help msg.
  -v --version  Show version.

Features

CDK have three modules:

1. Evaluate: gather information inside container to find potential weakness.
2. Exploit: for container escaping, persistance and lateral movement
3. Tool: network-tools and APIs for TCP/HTTP requests, tunnels and K8s cluster management.

Evaluate Module

Usage

cdk evaluate [--full]

This command will run the scripts below without local file scanning, using --full to enable all.
