Privado CLI

What is Privado CLI?

Privado is an open source static code analysis tool to discover data flows in the code.

Privado CLI (previously, Privado-Inc/privado-datasafety) is the user-facing open-source interface responsible for interacting with the final bundle generated from privado powered by the scan engine privado-core, which not only discovers data-elements, PIIs, and third-parties but help discover in-depth dataflows from code to external sinks such as Databases, Third Parties, APIs, and help find data leakages such as logs.

To read more about Privado and how it works, refer this repository.

Prerequisite - Docker

To start off, make sure docker is installed. To install docker, you can follow the steps stated in the official documentation. Linux users should also follow docker post installation steps in order to run Privado CLI without root (sudo) privileges.

Installation

You can install Privado CLI in multiple manners:

Install using curl:

The installation script will download and setup the latest stable release for you as per your OS and arch. Run:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Privado-Inc/privado-cli/main/install.sh | bash

To uninstall, simply delete ~/.privado/bin.

Install using Go

If you are a GoLang fan, you can use the go install command to install the Privado CLI:

go install github.com/Privado-Inc/privado-cli@latest

This will place the privado binary in your GOPATH's bin directory. This directory must be added to the $PATH environment variable. You can learn more here.

Install Release Manually

We use GitHub Releases to ship versioned privado releases for supported platforms. You can download a executable of Privado CLI for your platform.

To know your architecture, you can run:

$ uname -m

For detailed platform-specific instructions to setup privado, refer below:

MacOSX
ARM64 (M1 Chip)

To setup privado for macOS (arm64) i.e. Macbook with M1 chip, download privado-darwin-arm64.tar.gz from the latest release.

Navigate to the download directory and run:

$ tar -xf ~/.privado/privado-darwin-arm64.tar.gz
$ chmod +x privado
$ mv privado /usr/local/bin/
AMD64 (Intel Chip)

To setup privado for macOS (amd64), download privado-darwin-amd64.tar.gz from the latest release.

Navigate to the download directory and run:

$ tar -xf ~/.privado/privado-darwin-amd64.tar.gz
$ chmod +x privado
$ mv privado /usr/local/bin/
Linux

To setup privado on your linux system, download the respective zip from latest release for your platform. Navigate to the download directory and run the following commands:

ARM64
$ tar -xf ~/.privado/privado-linux-arm64.tar.gz
$ chmod +x privado
$ mv privado /usr/bin/privado
AMD64
$ tar -xf ~/.privado/privado-linux-amd64.tar.gz
$ chmod +x privado
$ mv privado /usr/bin/privado
Windows

To setup privado on your windows system, download privado-windows-amd64.zip from latest release. Navigate to the download directory and run the following bash commands:

$ mkdir -p $HOME/.privado/bin
$ unzip -o privado-windows-amd64.zip -d $HOME/.privado/bin
$ chmod +x $HOME/.privado/bin/privado
$ echo "export PATH=\$PATH:$HOME/.privado/bin" >> $HOME/.bashrc

Open a new session or source profile for effects to take place in the same session:

$ source $HOME/.bashrc

When using WSL, we recommend moving the binary to /usr/bin instead for optimal experience across users. Refer to steps for Linux for more information.

Build Privado CLI Locally

If you do not wish to use the pre-built binaries shipped in releases, you can choose to build Privado CLI locally. To do this, make sure that GoLang is installed and follow the following steps:

  1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/Privado-Inc/privado-cli.git
  2. Change directory: cd privado
  3. Skip this step if you intend to build the main branch.
    To build a particular release, checkout the intended tag: git checkout <tag>
  4. Build with Go: go build -o privado
  5. You can now run ./privado.

For convenience, we recommend moving privado to a $PATH directory. You can refer to manual installation steps for more details.

Running a Scan

Privado CLI works on the client-end and does not share any code files, or snippets during the scan process.

To scan a repository, simply run:

privado scan <path/to/repository>

Depending on repository size and system configuration, time to scan can vary. Post completion, you can choose to visualize the results on Privado Cloud.

Results are saved to the <repository>/.privado directory. We suggest keeping .privado folder a part of your repository to encourage privacy discovery & transparency.
