Attack exposed Kubernetes: API server, kubelet, etcd, dashboards, and RBAC. Load on k8s signals — ports 6443/10250/2379/8443, /api/v1, kube-dns, a pod foothold, or "kubernetes/k8s". Signals: kubectl, service-account tokens, exposed dashboard, container in a cluster.

# Kubernetes attacks
## When it applies
A Kubernetes control-plane or node component is reachable (externally or from a pod foothold),
or you landed in a container inside a cluster and want to escalate to cluster admin / other tenants.
## Why it works
k8s exposes powerful HTTP APIs that are frequently unauthenticated or over-permissioned:
anonymous API access, kubelet read/exec on 10250, unauth etcd (all secrets), and mounted
[Credential-related source omitted]
## Method
1. **From outside**: `kube-hunter`; probe API server 6443 (`/api/v1` anonymous), kubelet 10250
(`/pods`, `/run` exec), etcd 2379 (keys→secrets), and exposed dashboards (8443/anonymous).
