Overview

dlfile

dlfile is a very simple, straightforward CLI to download a file, except it...

  1. Only downloads over HTTPS
  2. Requires TLS 1.2 or higher
  3. Executes in a seccomp sandbox (linux only - no sandboxing provided on other platforms, PRs welcome)
  4. Uses trust-dns, supporting DNS over TLS

Install

cargo install dlfile

Example

dlfile --min-tls=v1.3 \
       --from="https://sh.rustup.rs" \ 
       --to="./rustup.sh

Usage

dlfile 0.2.0

USAGE:
    dlfile [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] --from 
   
     --to 
    
     

FLAGS:
    -h, --help          Prints help information
        --no-sandbox    [UNSAFE] Indicates that you want to run without the default sandbox
    -V, --version       Prints version information

OPTIONS:
    -f, --from 
     
                  The fully qualified URL with an https scheme to download from [env: FROM=]
        --max-size

  • Update dependencies and move to clap4

    Update dependencies and move to clap4

    Updates dependencies such that cargo audit does not warn of any issues (previously there was an unmaintained crate).

    Updates the clap code accordingly.

  • Embed SBOM into binary

    Embed SBOM into binary

    To make it easier to determine if you're running a suitable version of dlfile we could embed the build information via cargo-auditable.

    https://github.com/rust-secure-code/cargo-auditable

    This is likely best implemented once there's Github Actions on this project to automate builds.

  • Support hash verification

    Support hash verification

    Lots of guides will pin a download to a hash that's provided out of band. It seems reasonable to perform the hashing as we download, which would save having to do a second pass.

    A CLI argument like: --hash="sha256:13550350a8681c84c861aac2e5b440161c2b33a3e4f302ac680ca5b686de48de" Or --hahes="./file_with_hashes" would be straightforward to implement.

  • Detect root

    Detect root

    There are two reasons one might run dlfile as root.

    1. By mistake. Happens all the time with curl and other cli tools.
    2. On purpose so that dlfile can write out to a privileged file.

    I think in an ideal world (2) wouldn't happen. Instead dlfile would pipe the data to /dev/stdout and then another tool would handle the writing of the file. That said, it's probably worth supporting it.

    Further, given root, we can perform more sandboxing. I don't want dlfile to be a setuid or something like that, but if we do run as root we can access namespaces, chroot, etc. This would significantly improve the sandbox.

  • Improve seccomp sandboxing

    Improve seccomp sandboxing

    Right now a lot of system calls are allowed and there's very little we can do to restrict their arguments (because they are strings).

    That said, if we split out the HTTP and DNS stages we can perform DNS upfront, drop privileges, and then perform the HTTP work.

    Further, if we use hyper instead of reqwest we may be able to pre-allocate the socket, which would mean I can remove all of the open system calls.
