Live Security Hack - Hack My Mis-configured Kubernetes

Explore a live security hack demonstration that exposes vulnerabilities in a misconfigured Kubernetes cluster. Witness how an attacker can escalate privileges from a vulnerable web application to gaining full control of the entire cluster. Learn about the attacker's thought process, timeline of exploitation, and critical vulnerabilities such as environment variables, service tokens, and directory traversal. Discover essential security measures including secure namespaces, readonly root file systems, and proper network configurations. Gain insights into container primitives, critical execution paths, and the importance of changing default settings. Understand the principles of confidentiality, availability, and integrity in Kubernetes security. Apply these lessons to strengthen your own cluster's defenses and prevent potential attacks.
