KDT

KDT is a command line client for Kondukto written in Go. It interacts with Kondukto engine through public API.

With KDT, you can list projects and their scans in Kondukto, and restart a scan with a specific application security tool. KDT is also easy to use in CI/CD pipelines to trigger scans and break releases if a scan fails or scan results don't met specified release criteria.

What is Kondukto?

Kondukto is an Application Security Testing Orchestration platform that helps you centralize and automate your entire AppSec related vulnerability management process. Providing an interface where security health of applications can be continuously monitored, and a command line interface where your AppSec operations can be easily integrated into DevOps pipelines, Kondukto lets you manage your AppSec processes automatically with ease.

Installation

If you just wish to download and run a portable binary, you can get one of pre-compiled binaries for your system from Github releases page.

You can also simply run the following if you have an existing Go environment:

go install github.com/kondukto-io/kdt

If you want to build it yourself, clone the source files using Github, change into the kdt directory and run:

git clone https://github.com/kondukto-io/kdt.git
cd kdt
go install

Configuration

KDT needs Kondukto host and an API token for authentication. API tokens can be created under Integrations/API Tokens menu.

You can provide configuration by:

1) Setting environment variables:

(example is for BASH shell)

$ export KONDUKTO_HOST=http://localhost:8080
$ export KONDUKTO_TOKEN=WmQ2eHFDRzE3elplN0ZRbUVsRDd3VnpUSHk0TmF6Uko5OGlyQ1JvR2JOOXhoWEFtY2ZrcDJZUGtrb2tV

It is always better to set environment variables in shell profile files(~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, ~/profile etc.)

2) Providing a configuration file.

Default path for config file is $HOME/.kdt.yaml. Another file can be provided with --config command line flag.

// $HOME/.kdt.yaml 
host: http://localhost:8088
token: WmQ2eHFDRzE3elplN0ZRbUVsRDd3VnpUSHk0TmF6Uko5OGlyQ1JvR2JOOXhoWEFtY2ZrcDJZUGtrb2tV

3) Using command line flags

kdt list projects --host http://localhost:8088 --token WmQ2eHFDRzE3elplN0ZRbUVsRDd3VnpUSHk0TmF6Uko5OGlyQ1JvR2JOOXhoWEFtY2ZrcDJZUGtrb2tV

Running

Most KDT commands are straightforward.

To list projects: kdt list project

To list scans of a project: kdt list scans -p ExampleProject

To restart a scan, you can use one of the following:

• id of the scan: kdt scan -s 5da6cafa5ab6e436faf643dc

• project and tool names: kdt scan -p ExampleProject -t ExampleTool

Command Line Flags

KDT has several helpful flags to manage scans.

Global flags

Following flags are valid for all commands of KDT.

--host: HTTP address of Kondukto server with port

--token: API token generated by Kondukto

--config: Configuration file to use instead of default one($HOME/.kdt.yaml)

--async: Starts an asynchronous scan that won't block process to wait for scan to finish. KDT will exit gracefully when scan gets started successfully.

--insecure: If provided, client skips verification of server's certificates and host name. In this mode, TLS is susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks. Not recommended unless you really know what you are doing!

-v or --verbose: Prints more and detailed logs. Useful for debugging.

Scan Commands Flags

Following flags are only valid for scan commands.

-p or --project for providing project name or id

-t or --tool for providing tool name

-s or --scan-id for providing scan id

Threshold flags

These flags represent maximum number of vulnerabilities with specified severity to ignore. If these threshold are crossed, KDT will exit with non-zero status code.

--threshold-crit

--threshold-high

--threshold-med

--threshold-low

Threshold flags don't work with --async flag since KDT will exit when scan gets started, and won't be able to check scan results

Example Usage:

kdt scan -p SampleProject -t SampleTool --threshold-crit 3 --threshold-high 10
