go-pillage-registries

go-pillage-registries logo

This project takes a Docker registry and pillages the manifest and configuration for each image in its catalog.

It uses Google's crane command's package, which should follow docker's keychain semantics. If you would like to override this, just change authn.DefaultKeychain as described in the https://github.com/google/go-containerregistry/tree/master/pkg/authn/k8schain

Install:

root@kitploit:~
git clone https://github.com/nccgroup/go-pillage-registries.git

cd go-pillage-registries
go install ./...

Usage:

root@kitploit:~
$ pilreg

  pilreg <registry> [flags]

  -h, --help             help for pilreg
  -i, --insecure         Fetch Data over plaintext
  -r, --repos strings    list of repositories to scan on the registry. If blank, pilreg will attempt to enumerate them using the catalog API
  -o, --results string   Path to directory for storing results. If blank, outputs configs and manifests as json object to Stdout.(must be used if 'store-images` is enabled)
  -k, --skip-tls         Disables TLS certificate verification
  -s, --store-images     Downloads filesystem for discovered images and stores an archive in the output directory (Disabled by default, requires --results to be set)
