Kubernetes Security Scanner

Krishna Priya

Cloud Village @ DEF CON 33 · Day 1 · Cloud Village

In this Cloud Village talk, Krishna Priya introduces and demonstrates a custom-built, open-source **Kubernetes security scanner**. The presentation provides a step-by-step guide on deploying this tool to identify and remediate common vulnerabilities within Kubernetes clusters. This scanner is designed to help organizations secure their containerized environments by proactively detecting misconfigurations, insecure practices, and potential attack vectors.

A well-intentioned tool demo that amounts to a wrapper script around kube-bench, Trivy, Grype, and Falco — tools every Kubernetes security practitioner already knows. There's no novel research here, no new attack surface uncovered, and no architectural insight that couldn't be absorbed in twenty minutes of reading the upstream docs for those tools.
