ilyaglow/beef repository overview

⁠Docker for BeEF

⁠Usage

⁠Build

docker build -t beef https://github.com/security-dockerfiles/beef.git

You can try to build beef from the latest commit:

docker build -t beef --build-args COMMIT=master https://github.com/security-dockerfiles/beef.git

⁠Run

Run pre-built image from the docker hub:

docker run -itd \
           --name=beef \
           -p 3000:3000 \
           -p 6789:6789 \
           -p 61985:61985 \
           -p 61986:61986 \
           ilyaglow/beef

BeEF will be available at http://localhost:3000/ui/panel. By default the user is beef and the password is randomly generated. You can see the actual credentials when container starts and with docker logs beef.

The beef user and password pair could be easily overridden by using the following environment variables:

• BEEF_USER
• BEEF_PASSWORD

Start container with customized credentials:

docker run -itd \
           --name=beef \
           -p 3000:3000 \
           -p 6789:6789 \
           -p 61985:61985 \
           -p 61986:61986 \
           -e BEEF_USER=customuser \
           -e BEEF_PASSWORD=custompassphrase \
           ilyaglow/beef

⁠Why another docker

I couldn't find any suitable Dockerfile out there for the recent version of BeEF⁠ that is actually working.

Moreover I have a personal priority to run app in the container without root privileges. Most developers seem to ignore this somehow.

⁠Why not based on Alpine

BeEF's Gemfile has gem therubyracer which depends on libv8 gem precompiled for glibc (Alpine uses muslc). One option is to build libv8 from sources and another is to wait for a solution. I stick with the latter for now.
