Overview

The Containerized Security Toolkit (CST) provides a comprehensive suite of Docker images tailored for various security operations. Each variant is designed for specific use cases while maintaining consistency in basic functionality:

• General (tanq16/cst-general:*): Core security tools and utilities for general security operations
• Cloud (tanq16/cst-cloud:*): Specialized for cloud security assessments and operations
• Dev (tanq16/cst-dev:*): Development environment with security tools (Python, Go, Node.js) - WIP
• Netsec (tanq16/cst-netsec:*): Network security assessment and monitoring tools - WIP
• Rice (tanq16/cst-rice:*): Enhanced version of General with CLI Productivity Suite

Each variant is available for both x86_64 and ARM64 architectures:

tanq16/cst-<variant>:amd  # For x86_64 systems
tanq16/cst-<variant>:arm  # For ARM64 systems (Apple Silicon, etc.)
