Tabulae: A Universal Registry for Template Metadata

Tabulae is a centralized repository designed to catalog and manage metadata for web templates. While this repository is adaptable for a variety of use cases, it has a particular focus on supporting research into phishing techniques and countermeasures. By providing metadata for templates used in controlled environments, Tabulae aims to assist researchers, developers, and security professionals in better understanding and combating phishing.

Key Features

• Template Metadata Registry: Includes detailed metadata for each template, such as:
  • Name, version, and author details
  • Description and supported architectures
  • Download links for template files
  • Hashes for integrity verification
  • Dependencies for seamless integration
• Scalable Design: Focused on metadata only, allowing external hosting of template files while maintaining centralized access and organization.
• Phishing Research Support: Provides researchers and penetration testers with metadata to quickly identify and use templates for controlled studies and ethical testing.
• Universal Application: Adaptable for various projects, workflows, and systems requiring dynamic web templates.

Metadata Structure

Templates are described using a structured JSON format. Below is an example:

{
  "name": "New Template",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "author": "Author Name",
  "description": "A new website template with dependencies and multiple architectures.",
  "download_links": [
    "https://example.com/new_template1.zip",
    "https://example.com/new_template2.zip"
  ],
  "hash": "sha256-hash-of-the-template-file",
  "dependencies": {
    "php": ">=7.4",
    "python": ">=3.8"
  },
  "architectures": [
    "x86_64",
    "arm64"
  ]
}

A central templates.json file acts as an index to reference these metadata entries:

[
  {
    "name": "New Template",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "author": "Author Name",
    "description": "A new template with dependencies and multiple architectures.",
    "template_url": "https://github.com/yourusername/yourrepository/templates/new_template/template.json"
  },
  {
    "name": "Another Template",
    "version": "2.1.0",
    "author": "Another Author",
    "description": "Another template example.",
    "template_url": "https://github.com/yourusername/yourrepository/templates/another_template/template.json"
  }
]
