Meanwhile I think I’ve felt in love with Androguard. I love its Pythonic way handling things and its visualizations features. As many of you have noticed, you can run Androguard inside a Docker container. I’ve never used Docker before so it was about time. You can find some general information about the installation process on Arch Linux at this address.
Extensions
# Install extensions
# <!-- collapse=True -->
%install_ext https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dorneanu/ipython/master/extensions/diagmagic.py
# Then load extensions
%load_ext diagmagic
Installed diagmagic.py. To use it, type:
%load_ext diagmagic
The diagmagic extension is already loaded. To reload it, use:
%reload_ext diagmagic
On my main pentest machine (kudoz to @blackarch) I’ve installed docker and followed these instructions. Here is my service file:
!cat /etc/systemd/system/docker.service
.include /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service
[Service]
# assume 192.168.1.1 is your proxy server, don't use 127.0.0.1
#Environment="http_proxy=192.168.1.1:3128"
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker -d -g /home/cyneox/work/docker
I’ve added myself to the docker group in order to be able to start docker as a regular user:
# sudo gpasswd -a cyneox docker
Afterwards make sure you enable the service:
# sudo systemctl enable docker
Now make sure you do a reboot (Windows style :D).
%%bash
# Check if docker is running
sudo systemctl start docker
ps -ax | grep docker

Install Androguard
I could find 3 maintained dockerized Android images:
- https://github.com/adepasquale/docker-androguard
- https://github.com/dweinstein/dockerfile-androguard
- https://github.com/aikinci/androguard
The 2nd one started automatically androguard so you couldn’t tweak the underlying system. So I’ve decided to look at @aikinci’s androguard docker container.
!docker run -it -v ~/samples/:/root/samples/ honeynet/androguard

It must say that was pretty fast. And easy to do! In the end you’ll get a root bash prompt. Since the image does not provide all the tools I need, you’ll have to install them manually. After you have exited from the container you can attach it again. But first lets see which container are currently active:
!docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
de3fbe90bdde honeynet/androguard:latest "/bin/bash" 5 minutes ago Up 5 minutes sleepy_lalande
Now you can re-attach to a specific container by using docker attach:
# docker attach de3fbe90bdde
[email protected]:~#
Now I’ve installed some additional packages:
[email protected]:~# apt-get install openssh-server ipython ipython-notebook vim
...
Now change the root password:
[email protected]:~# passwd
...
Start SSH server:
[email protected]:~# /etc/init.d/sshd start
...
Now most important: You’ll have to commit your change to the image otherwise all changes will be lost on next start. On the maching running docker run:
# docker commit de3fbe90bdde
Network with docker
When started docker creates a new virtual interface on the host machine called docker0 (more):
!ifconfig docker0
docker0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 172.17.42.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 0.0.0.0

RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
As you can see docker choosed a subnet and assigned an IP address to that interface. What about the guest machine?
[email protected]:~# ifconfig -a

Can I reach the container within the host machine?

Looks good! Well before I go to the next steps let me show my current pentest setup.
Pentest setup

// <!-- collapse=True -->

group first_group {

group docker {
// Set group-label

}
On my physical machine (Arch Linux Host) I run several QEMU instances:
- Kali Linux (Pentest)
- Windows (Pentest)
- BlackArch (Pentest)
A little bit of networking
Inside BlackArch I run docker which manages several containers. Regarding the networking part this is what I want to achieve:
- Be able to access
AndroguardfromArch Linux Host - Be able to access
AndroguardfromBlackArch Host - Be able to access the Internet from
Androguard
The first one is the most important to me, since I want to access the Androguard container directly - preferably through SSH. Since the Àndroguard machine gets a private IP address, it’s obvious I can’t access it - yet. The packets must be routed though BlackArch Host. Let’s check IPv4 forwarding:
!sysctl net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding
net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding = 1
Ok for now. The Docker documentation states:
By default Docker containers can make connections to the outside world, but the outside world cannot connect to containers. Each outgoing connection will appear to originate from one of the host machine’s own IP addresses thanks to an iptables masquerading rule on the host machine that the Docker server creates when it starts
After starting the Androguard container, let’s check the firewall rules:
!sudo iptables -t nat -L
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
DOCKER all -- anywhere anywhere ADDRTYPE match dst-type LOCAL
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
DOCKER all -- anywhere !127.0.0.0/8 ADDRTYPE match dst-type LOCAL
Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
MASQUERADE all -- localhost/16 anywhere
Chain DOCKER (2 references)
target prot opt source destination
Having a futher look at the documentaton, I’ve found this:
More convenient is the -p SPEC or –publish=SPEC option which lets you be explicit about exactly which external port on the Docker server — which can be any port at all, not just those in the 49000–49900 block — you want mapped to which port in the container.
Now, let’s stop the container and restart it again with the -p paramater:
!docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
534dc09cc451 honeynet/androguard:latest "/bin/bash" 14 seconds ago Exited (0) 8 seconds ago sleepy_mcclintock
%%bash
docker stop 534dc09cc451
docker rm 534dc09cc451
534dc09cc451
534dc09cc451
!docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
!docker run -t -i -p 22 honeynet/androguard
]0;[email protected]: ~[email protected]:~# ^C
]0;[email protected]: ~[email protected]:~#
]0;[email protected]: ~[email protected]:~#
Now let’s check iptables again:
!sudo iptables -t nat -L
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
DOCKER all -- anywhere anywhere ADDRTYPE match dst-type LOCAL
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
DOCKER all -- anywhere !127.0.0.0/8 ADDRTYPE match dst-type LOCAL
Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
MASQUERADE all -- localhost/16 anywhere
Chain DOCKER (2 references)
target prot opt source destination
DNAT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:49154 to:172.17.0.4:22
As you can see in the last line all packets sent to localhost:49154 (which is BlackArch Host) will be forwarded to 172.17.0.4:22. Bingo! On Arch Linux Host I try to reach Androguard:
# telnet blackarch.local 49154
Trying 10.0.1.92...
Connected to blackarch.local.
Escape character is '^]'.
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_6.6.1p1 Ubuntu-2ubuntu2
^C^C
Connection closed by foreign host.
Perfect!
Accessing IPython on Androguard
Now you could use port forwarding to access services on Androguard through the SSH tunnel. On the Androguard machine I usually start ipython-notebook to take notes etc. I usually run it as:
[email protected]:~/ipython# ipython notebook --no-browser --port 7000
2014-09-11 16:48:11.330 [NotebookApp] Created profile dir: u'/root/.ipython/profile_default'
2014-09-11 16:48:11.336 [NotebookApp] Using system MathJax
2014-09-11 16:48:11.350 [NotebookApp] Serving notebooks from local directory: /root/ipython
2014-09-11 16:48:11.350 [NotebookApp] The IPython Notebook is running at: http://127.0.0.1:7000/
2014-09-11 16:48:11.350 [NotebookApp] Use Control-C to stop this server and shut down all kernels (twice to skip confirmation).
...
On ArchLinux Host I run:
# ssh -L localhost:7777:localhost:7000 [email protected] -p 49154

As you can see I’ve successfully logged in into the Androguard machine through BlackArch Host using DNAT. On ArchLinux Host I can open the browser and point to http://localhost:7777 which connects to IPython on the Androguard machine.
