Techlens Agent®

Welcome to the scanning agent.

This tool safely and securely analyzes applications for benchmarking.

Requirements:

• Python3 - Test with python3 --version
• pip - Test with pip -V
• SSH access to code repositories - Test with git status
• Command line tool access to cloud hosting providers
• Admin privileges on the computer used to run the agent (not required but recommended)
• Outbound internet access (for posting results and fetching dependency metadata)
• Your dependency management tools (e.g. npm or yarn or maven)

To run the Agent:

• Download the techlens-agent binary from crosslake
• Run the agent techlens-agent --config=/path/to/config

Config Options

• If you want to check the output for yourself you can set should_upload: false, and use the flag --output=/path/to/dir. This will give you the chance to inspect what we collect before uploading. For large repositories, it is a lot of information, but we never upload your code or any credentials, just the summary data we collect.

Troubleshooting:

Python

• Run python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel

git

• Run which git, git --version
• Run ssh -vT [e-mail] to test access to GitHub

AWS

• Run which aws, aws --version

Azure

• Run az git, az --version
• Run az account subscription list to check subscription Id

Semgrep

• Run which semgrep, semgrep --version

pip

• Run which pip
• If no pip, run: curl -o get-pip.py https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py python get-pip.py OR python3 get-pip.py Run sudo apt update
