emp binary doesn't run on Alpine Linux based containers

[seeder]

Alpine Linux is the preferred base image for docker containers, and a lot of projects are migrating. Alpine always supported golang binaries.

However, looks like you are doing something strange and incompatible.

Tested : ( alpine image with wget and openssl installed )

wget https://github.com/remind101/empire/releases/download/v0.12.0/emp-Linux-x86_64
chmod +x emp-Linux-x86_64
./emp-Linux-x86_64 
bash: ./emp-Linux-x86_64: No such file or directory

After some investigation, looks like your binary is not statically linked and strings are showing this:

strings emp-Linux-x86_64 | grep -e '^/' | grep lib
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

ls /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
ls: /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2: No such file or directory

When symlinking that path to a ld-mucl, it starts acting normally

mkdir /lib64 ; ln -s /lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
./emp-Linux-x86_64 
Usage: emp <command> [-a <app or remote>] [options] [arguments]


Commands:

    create             create an app
    apps         ...

Thanks for reporting!

We don't do anything weird when building a release binary, so I'll have to dig into why we're not getting a statically linked binary.
