DockerENT by Rohit Sehgal

An Open Source Tool & Framework

Analyze Security issues with running Containers

DockerENT is activE ruNtime application security scanning Tool (RAST tool). It is a pluggable framework written in Python. It comes with a CLI application and a clean Web Interface written using StreamLit.

DockerENT has been designed to detect weak security misconfigurations in production deployments which can lead to severe consequences. This application connects with running containers in the system and fetches the list of weak and vulnerable runtime configurations and generates a report. If invoked through web interface, it can display the scan and audit report in the UI itself.

How to Run

TL;DR

In hurry to test this? Download the latest stable REL from PyPi and run the Web App, everything else is intuitive.

pip install DockerENT

Then run the application like:

DockerENT -w

Thats it.

Run the latest master

DockerENT has been designed to keep simplicity and usability in mind. Currently you just have to clone the repository and download dependencies or build the Dockerfile. Once the dependencies are installed in local system we are good to run the tool and analyse the runtime configurations for running containers.

# Download and setup
git clone https://github.com/r0hi7/DockerENT.git
cd DockerENT
make venv
source venv/bin/activate

# Run
python -m DockerENT --help 
usage: Find the vulnerabilities hidden in your running container(s).
       [-h] [-d [DOCKER_CONTAINER]] [-p [DOCKER_PLUGINS]]
       [-d-nw [DOCKER_NETWORK]] [-p-nw [DOCKER_NW_PLUGINS]] [-w]
       [-n [PROCESS_COUNT]] [-a] [-o [OUTPUT]]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -w, --web-app         Run DockerENT in WebApp mode. If this parameter is
                        enabled, other command line flags will be ignored.
  -n [PROCESS_COUNT], --process [PROCESS_COUNT]
                        Run scans in parallel (Process pool count).
  -a, --audit           Flag to check weather to audit results or not.

  -d [DOCKER_CONTAINER], --docker [DOCKER_CONTAINER]
                        Run scan against the running container.
  -p [DOCKER_PLUGINS], --plugins [DOCKER_PLUGINS]
                        Run scan with only specified plugins.
  -p-nw [DOCKER_NW_PLUGINS], --nw-plugins [DOCKER_NW_PLUGINS]
                        Run scan with only specified plugins.

  -d-nw [DOCKER_NETWORK], --docker-network [DOCKER_NETWORK]
                        Run scan against running docker-network.

  -o [OUTPUT], --output [OUTPUT]
                        Output plugin to write data to.

# or via the container
docker build . -t dockerent
docker run -d -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -p 8501:8501 --name dockerent dockerent
# Then just open your browser to http://localhost:8051

How to Create your own Plugin.

        }
    }

    res[container.short_id] = {
        _plugin_name_: result
    }
    
    # Do something magical.
