InGuardians is recognized as a leader in cloud and container security. The InGuardians team delivers talks and training on Kubernetes and container security at top industry conferences like RSA and the Black Hat Briefings.
InGuardians has served as members of the Kubernetes project Security Audit Working Group and includes a Kubernetes project contributor. The team has also developed Open Source projects for Kubernetes, including Peirates, a Kubernetes penetration testing tool, and Bustakube, an intentionally-vulnerable Kubernetes cluster built as a teaching tool.
LEARNING RESOURCES
Tools
Bust – A – Kube
Bust -A -Kube is an intentionally-vulnerable Kubernetes cluster, intended to help people self-train on attacking and defending Kubernetes clusters.
Peirates
Peirates is a penetration testing tool for Kubernetes, focused on privilege escalation and lateral movement. It has an interactive interface, wherein the penetration tester chooses actions from the techniques that Peirates encodes. Some of the techniques in Peirates will give you administrative access to the cluster in one-shot. Others are intended to get you tokens for an increasing number of service accounts that you can use to move laterally, steal secrets, and chain together to achieve the goals of your penetration test.

Hacking And Hardening Kubernetes
Jay Beale, CTO, InGuardians
This webinar was recorded on 3/28/19
With microservices’ rise, Kubernetes gain adopters every day. It’s time for information security specialists to learn how to attack and defend container orchestration systems. This webinar will demonstrate attacks on Kubernetes clusters, then defenses that break those attacks.
Kubernetes Practical Attack And Defense
Jay Beale, CTO, InGuardians
RSA Conference 2020
A rising tide of engineering teams are running Kubernetes clusters. As an infosec professional, you need to understand attacks on Kubernetes and container-based applications. In this talk, we’ll demo Kubernetes attacks on the open-source Bust-a-Kube cluster, both manually and via the open-source Peirates tool. We’ll teach you how to attack and how to break your attacks.
