performing-cloud-native-forensics-with-falco
Uses Falco YAML rules for runtime threat detection in containers and Kubernetes, monitoring syscalls for shell spawns, file tampering, network anomalies, and privilege escalation. Manages Falco rules via the Falco gRPC API and parses Falco alert output. Use when building container runtime security or investigating k8s cluster compromises.

# Performing Cloud Native Forensics with Falco
## When to Use
- When conducting security assessments that involve performing cloud native forensics with falco
- When following incident response procedures for related security events
- When performing scheduled security testing or auditing activities
- When validating security controls through hands-on testing
## Detection Gaps & Validation
- **Rule exceptions are an evasion surface:** the `not proc.pname in (docker-entrypo, supervisord)` exclusion in the shell rule means an attacker who renames or reparents under those names evades it. Audit every `not ...` clause and anchor conditions on `proc.exepath`/`container.image` rather than `proc.pname`.
- **No driver = no events:** Falco needs a working kernel module or eBPF probe. If the driver fails to load, Falco runs but sees zero syscalls. Verify the driver loaded with `falco --version` and confirm events flow by triggering a known action.
