# image will halt

# get container ID
docker ps
docker exec -it 3cb2d14fc11a /bin/bash -c "cd /home/arch/docker-eyeos/xnu-qemu-arm64-tools/gdb; gdb-multiarch -q"

# run 
source load.py
target remote localhost:1234

Export PATH

# once you have SSH'ed in, export PATH and look busy!
export PATH=/iosbinpack64/usr/bin:/iosbinpack64/bin:/iosbinpack64/usr/sbin:/iosbinpack64/sbin:$PATH

How do I mount the disk and put stuff in there?

sudo losetup -f 
sudo losetup /dev/loop0 ./hfs.main

# mount in a file manager

# unmount and delete loop device when done
sudo losetup -d /dev/loop0

Run outside the container

# Ubuntu, Debian, Pop!_OS
sudo apt install gdb-multiarch
# Arch, Majaro
sudo pacman -S gdb-multiarch

Supported

KVM

Requires a device that supports armv8-A

See https://alephsecurity.com/2020/07/19/xnu-qemu-kvm/

# proposed docker env command line args when KVM 
    -e KVM=true
    -e KVM=false

What does it do?

Docker-eyeOS is an exploration platform for researchers and anyone who is interested in the XNU kernel.

Images

• Create your own using Docker-OSX
• And then run osx-build-xnu-disks.sh shell script.

Image build script for Docker-OSX

# compress images for any reason
zstd -k hfs.main
zstd -k hfs.sec

# decompress images
zstd -d hfs.main.zst
zstd -d hfs.sec.zst

# after you decompress HFS Plus images, you must fsck them until they are OK using hfsprogs.

fsck.hfsplus -fp ./hfs.sec
fsck.hfsplus -fp ./hfs.sec
fsck.hfsplus -fp ./hfs.main
fsck.hfsplus -fp ./hfs.main

Optional Flags

Download pre-patched image -

• WARNING 1.8GB of disks are downloaded
• Expands to 12GB of disks uncompressed

-e GDB_PORT=1234

Default is already set to 1234, feel free to change it

-e GDB=true

Enables GDB (QEMU will be interrupted until GDB starts)

Unpatched Version

• Alternatively, you can create your own disks as abov

• If you do not wish to patch dyld then you should include all 4 files in your images folder:

./hfs.main

./hfs.sec

./static_tc

./tchashes

To Do (Help Wanted)

Ad hoc images

-e STORAGE=host

Store the images in ./images on the host folder

-e STORAGE=guest

Store the images in a local folder inside the container (Watch out for disk space usage if doing this)

How to build your own hfs.main and hfs.sec disk on GNU/Linux for Docker-eyeOS

Note: this process can take around 1-4 hours depending on your specs.

• Use OSX or create a quick OSX-KVM using Docker-OSX

# this is Docker-OSX btw
docker run --device /dev/kvm \
--device /dev/snd \
-e RAM=12 \
-p 50922:10022 \
-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
sickcodes/docker-osx:latest

• Complete the graphical installation, guide here: https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX#additional-boot-instructions

• Turn on SSH in Sharing Settings

• Write down your docker container ID with docker ps, e.g. f771bff2192d -- You can start the docker later using docker run f771bff2192d -- You don't need to login to SSH into the Docker-OSX

• SSH into your Docker-OSX and add yourself as a NOPASSWD root user (extremely insecure, only do if you will tear-down later).

# OPTIONAL SPEED UP
ssh fullname@localhost -p 50922

sudo tee "/private/etc/sudoers.d/sudoers_$USER" <<EOF
${USER} ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
EOF

• Complete the script on OSX that is inside this repo

https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-eyeOS/blob/master/osx-build-xnu-disks.sh

• Pull the images out when you're done:

scp -P 50922 fullname@localhost:~/static_tc .
scp -P 50922 fullname@localhost:~/tchashes .
scp -P 50922 fullname@localhost:~/hfs.main .
scp -P 50922 fullname@localhost:~/hfs.sec .

Enjoy!
