Docker and Kubernetes Security Workshop

Do you want to learn how to attack and exploit containers on a Kubernetes cluster? This three-day workshop will teach you how to break out of containers and become a Kubernetes cluster admin by abusing and exploiting common misconfigurations.

During this workshop, the participants will perform various container escape scenarios in our dedicated lab environment. In addition, a vulnerable Kubernetes cluster will be available to the participants which will be attacked. Get insights in how an attacker can abuse your workloads and how to prevent configuration pitfalls when setting up your environment. This is a very interactive workshop with exercises, demonstrations and hands-on material.

Why should you attend?

• Get to know the basics of Docker and Kubernetes security
• Gain an insight in the attack surface of Docker and Kubernetes
• Learn about common security misconfigurations
• Learn to attack and exploit misconfigured containers in our lab
• Learn to attack and exploit a misconfigured Kubernetes cluster in our lab

Intended Audience

This training is suitable for:

• Pentesters
• Developers
  
• Students
• Security testers
• Security enthusiasts
• General security practitioners
• Anyone with an interest in Docker/Kubernetes and technical affinity
  

This training is devised for technical personnel. Participants may vary in skill level from no experience to novice in pentesting and working with containers or Kubernetes. A basic understanding of Linux and command line is needed. Experience with Docker or Kubernetes is not required. All basic concepts will be addressed. during the workshop as a refresher.
