In this video, we dive into Day 22 of the Kubernetes DFIR (Digital Forensics and Incident Response) challenge: "It's because I'm kubed, isn't it?" Follow along as we uncover how Mayor Malware exploited Kubernetes vulnerabilities to deploy a malicious web shell and gain persistence in the cluster.
We’ll explore:
✅ What Kubernetes is and why it’s critical in modern microservices architecture.
✅ The challenges of DFIR in ephemeral Kubernetes environments.
✅ How log analysis revealed the attack path.
✅ The importance of separating push and pull credentials in Docker registries.
Learn how Mayor Malware leveraged pods/exec permissions, exploited misconfigured service accounts, and accessed secret credentials to compromise the cluster.
🔑 Key Takeaway: Always follow Kubernetes security best practices to prevent privilege escalation and unauthorized access.
🛡️ Stay tuned for more insights into Kubernetes security and digital forensics!
