    "kind": "raw",
    "payload": {

Usage

First of all, make sure you have setup the core system: https://github.com/CERT-Polska/karton

In order to unpack all available formats you'll also need a few native dependencies that sflock relies on, the installation method recommended by sflock is:

RUN sed -i 's/ main/ main non-free/' /etc/apt/sources.list \
    && apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    p7zip-full \
    rar \
    unace \
    cabextract \
    lzip

Then install karton-archive-extractor from PyPi:

$ pip install karton-archive-extractor

$ karton-archive-extractor

Configuration

There are several configuration options you can tweak up to your liking.

[archive-extractor]
# Maximum levels of nested extraction
max_depth = 5
# Maximum unpacked child filesize, larger files are not reported
max_size = 26214400
# Maximum number of children files for further analysis
max_children = 1000

To learn more about configuring your karton services, take a look at karton configuration docs

Running in Docker

Sflock uses ZipJail as a usermode syscall filtering mechanism. As a result, in our experience, container running the karton service has to have the SYS_PTRACE capability in order for the ptrace to execute correctly. Make sure it's enabled if you run into problems extracting certain archive types.

PE files debloating

Some malicious PE files contain intentionally added junk to make them too big for processing. Starting from v1.4.0, archive extractor supports optional debloating of these files, using debloat tool made by Squiblydoo.

certpl/karton-archive-extractor Docker image debloats PE files by default. To enable debloating in karton-archive-extractor installed from PyPI, you need to install additional extra dependencies:

pip install karton-archive-extractor[debloat]
