Usage

Prerequisites

  • Docker service installed

You can use the docker image by the next two options:

  • Option 1 – Use the github repository

git clone –depth 1 https://github.com/aaaguirrep/pentest.git
cd pentest
docker build -t pentest .
docker run –rm -it –name my-pentest pentest /bin/zsh

  • Option 2 – Use the image from docker hub

Use image from docker hub: aaaguirrep/pentest

docker pull aaaguirrep/pentest
docker run –rm -it –name my-pentest pentest /bin/zsh

Considerations to run the container

There are differents use cases for use the image and you should know how to run the container properly.

  1. Use the container to access HTB (Hack the Box) machines by HTB vpn. docker run --rm -it --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --device=/dev/net/tun --sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=0 --name my-pentest aaaguirrep/pentest /bin/zsh
  2. Share information from your local directory to container directory and save information on your local directory. You should save information under /pentest directory. docker run --rm -it -v /path/to/local/directory:/pentest --name my-pentest aaaguirrep/pentest /bin/zsh
  3. Expose internal container services (apache, squid) for your local environment. docker run --rm -it --name my-pentest -p 80:80 -p 3128:3128 aaaguirrep/pentest /bin/zsh Inside the container start apache2 and squid services by the aliases. apacheUp squidUp
  4. Mount directories by umount command. docker run --rm -it --privileged --name my-pentest aaaguirrep/pentest /bin/zsh
  5. Tools are downloaded in /tools directory.

Nice Configurations

You can set up the docker image with nice configurations like as:

1. Alias to connect to HTB (Hack the Box) VPN

To use both options you should use -v option to map local directoty with /pentest container directory.

Option 1 – HTB VPN using github repository

Add the next line in step “Create shorcuts” in Dockerfile, build a new image and run a new container with the -v option.

RUN echo “alias vpnhtb=\”openvpn /pentest/path/to/ovpn/file\”” >> /root/.zshrc

Option 2 – HTB VPN using docker hub image

Create a new Dockerfile with the next steps, build a new image and run a new container with -v option.

FROM aaaguirrep/pentest

# Create a shortcut and load the ovpn file from workstation RUN echo “alias vpnhtb=\”openvpn /pentest/path/to/ovpn/file\”” >> /root/.zshrc

2. Save and load command history in your local environment

When you delete a container all information is deleted incluide command history. The next configuration provides you an option for save the command history in your local environment and load it when you run a new container. So, you wont lose your command history when run a new container.

To use both options you should use -v option to map local directoty with /pentest container directory.

Option 1 – Command history using github repository

Add the next line in step “Create shorcuts” in Dockerfile, build a new image and run a new container.

# Save and load command history in your local environment
RUN sed -i ‘1i export HISTFILE=”/pentest/.zsh_history”‘ /root/.zshrc

Option 2 – Command history using docker hub image

Create a new Dockerfile with the next steps, build a new image and run a new container.

FROM aaaguirrep/pentest

# Save and load command history in your local environment RUN sed -i ‘1i export HISTFILE=”/pentest/.zsh_history”‘ /root/.zshrc

Environment Tested

The image was tested in the following environments:

  • Docker service for Mac: Docker version 19.03.5, build 633a0ea
  • Docker service for Linux instance on Google Cloud Platform: Docker version 19.03.6, build 369ce74a3c

Warning

  • Do not save information on container directories because it will be lost after delete the container, you should save information in your local environment using the parameter -v when you run the container. For instance: docker run --rm -it -v /path/to/local/directory:/pentest --name my-pentest aaaguirrep/pentest /bin/zsh The above command specify a path local directory mapped with /pentest container directory. You should save all information under /pentest directory.
  • Use hashcat and john the ripper on controlled environments as CTF. You can experiment issues.
