Architecture

DongTai IAST has multiple basic services, including DongTai-webDongTai-webapiDongTai-openapiDongTai-engineagentDongTai-deployDongTai-Base-Image and DongTai-Plugin-IDEA:

  • DongTai-web is the product page of DongTai, which is used to handle the interaction between users and cave states.
  • DongTai-webapi is responsible for handling user-related operations.
  • DongTai-openapi is used to process the registration/heartbeat/call method/third-party component/error log data reported by agent, issue hook strategy, issue probe control commands, etc.
  • DongTai-engine analyzes whether there are vulnerabilities in HTTP/HTTPS/RPC requests according to the calling method data and taint tracking algorithm, and is also responsible for other related timing tasks.
  • agent is a probe module of DongTai, including data collection terminals in different programming languages, used to collect data during application runtime and report to the DongTai-OpenAPI service.
  • DongTai-deploy is used for the deployment of DongTai IAST, including docker-compose single-node deployment, Kubernetes cluster deployment, etc. If you want a deployment plan, you can add features or contribute to the deployment plan.
  • DongTai-Base-Image contains the basic services that DongTai depends on runtime, including MySql, Redis.
  • DongTai-Plugin-IDEA is the IDEA plug-in corresponding to the Java probe. You can run the Java probe directly through the plug-in and detect the vulnerabilities directly in IDEA.
