A Blazing fast Security Auditing tool for Kubernetes

Last update: Jan 04, 2023

Overview

A Blazing fast Security Auditing tool for kubernetes!!

Basic Overview

Kubestriker performs numerous in depth checks on kubernetes infra to identify the security misconfigurations and challenges that devops engineers/developers are likely to encounter when using Kubernetes, especially in production and at scale.

kubestriker is Platform agnostic and works equally well across more than one platform such as self hosted kubernetes, Amazon EKS, Azure AKS, Google GKE etc.

$ git clone https://github.com/vchinnipilli/kubestriker.git

# Go into the repository
$ cd kubestriker

# Install dependencies
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

# Incase of prompt toolkit or selectmenu errors
$ pip install prompt-toolkit==1.0.15 
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

# Gearing up Kubestriker
$ python -m kubestriker

# Result will be generated in the current working directory with the name of the target

Install using pip

To install and run this application, you'll need pip installed on your computer. From your command line:

How to spin up kubestriker container

Use this link to view the Kubestriker container latest releases

# Spinning up the kubestriker Container
$ docker run -it --rm -v /Users/vasantchinnipilli/.kube/config:/root/.kube/config -v "$(pwd)":/kubestriker --name kubestriker cloudsecguy/kubestriker:v1.0.0

# Replace the user vasantchinnipilli above with your username or absolute path of kube config file

# Gearing up Kubestriker
$ python -m kubestriker

# Result will be generated in the current working directory with the name of the target

Types of Scans

Authenticated scans

Authenticated scan expects the user to have atleast read-only privileges and provide a token during the scan. please use the below provided links to create read-only users

Create read-only user for Amazon eks
Create read-only user for Azure aks
Create read-only user for Google gke
Create a subject using Role based access control

# To grab a token from eks cluster
$ aws eks get-token --cluster-name cluster-name --region ap-southeast-2

# To grab a token from aks cluster
$ az aks get-credentials --resource-group myResourceGroup --name myAKSCluster

# To grab a token from gke cluster
$ gcloud container clusters get-credentials CLUSTER_NAME --zone=COMPUTE_ZONE

# To grab a token from service account
$ kubectl -n namespace get secret serviceaccount-token -o jsonpath='{.data.token}'

# To grab a token from a pod directly or via command execution bug
$ cat /run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token

Unauthenticated scans

Unauthenticated scan will be successful incase of anonymous access is permitted on the target cluster

Identifying an open Insecure port on kubernetes master node

Identifying a worker Node with kubelet readwrite and readonly ports open

Current Capabilities

Scans Self Managed and cloud provider managed kubernetes infra
Reconnaissance phase checks for various services or open ports
Performs automated scans incase of insecure, readwrite or readonly services are enabled
Performs both authenticated scans and unauthenticated scans
Scans for wide range of IAM Misconfigurations in the cluster
Scans for wide range of Misconfigured containers
Scans for wide range of Misconfigured Pod Security Policies
Scans for wide range of Misconfigured Network policies
Scans the privileges of a subject in the cluster
Run commands on the containers and streams back the output
Provides the endpoints of the misconfigured services
Provides possible privilege escalation details
Elaborative report with detailed explanation

Future improvements

Automated exploitation based on the issues identified
api and cicd automation friendly
A Decent FrontEnd to make the lives easier

Reports duplicates and IPs in default config

Choose one of the below url: (Use arrow keys)

https://kubernetes.docker.internal:6443 https://10.213.11.210 https://10.213.11.226 https://10.213.13.210 https://10.213.15.146 https://10.213.13.146 https://192.168.13.210 https://192.168.15.210 https://192.168.17.210 https://192.168.13.210 https://192.168.11.210 https://192.168.13.210 https://192.168.15.210 https://192.168.17.210 https://192.168.15.210 https://192.168.11.210 https://10.214.7.226 https://10.214.7.210 https://10.214.33.146 https://10.212.22.18 https://192.168.11.146 https://192.168.11.146 https://10.212.221.242

Looks like there are duplicates above? And also should be cluster names instead of IPs?

Docker "Provide token : " input

Hello!

I am trying to run an authenticated scan using the docker image v1.0.0. It discovers ok based on the kubeconfig but when I get to the prompt that reads Provide token : I can't enter anything. I am trying to paste in a token. Can't type anything either. It does say choose one of the below options (use arrow keys) but it falls right through to the prompt. Am I doing it wrong?

Thank you

Release pinning

In the requirements.txt file are the dependencies pinned to specific releases. This is in issue for package maintainers as distributions usually ship later releases or at least different releases.

Any change that you could soften the version constrains?

Unable to access the web-ui

Hello @vasantchinnipilli!

I've installed the kubestriker in EKS using the yaml files as documented here: https://www.kubestriker.io/-deploying-kubestriker

I have edited the ingress resource within the web-app.yaml to have a host path so that I can have a domain name to access the UI.

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: kubestriker-ui-ingress
  namespace: kubestriker
  annotations:
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/enable-cors: "true"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-methods: "GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, PATCH, OPTIONS"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-origin: "*"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-credentials: "true"

  rules:
  - host: kubestriker.eks.sandbox.ap2.<company domain>

      - path: /
        backend:
          serviceName: python-svc
          servicePort: 8080

I have a Route53 endpoint for *.eks.sandbox.ap2.. I have other deployments like Falco, Kiali etc which I have been accessing in the similar manner.

I have edited the API_URL environment variable in the web-app.yaml with the endpoint of the ELB and also the hostname of kubestriker.eks.sandbox.ap2. but I get the following error.

and the logs in the kubestriker-python pod is this:

Specify port for KubeServer
Right now, it looks like it's simply scanning 3 ports:

ports = [443, 6443, 8443]

In my case, I have the API on a random higher level IP (microk8s default install chooses a port at random). There doesn't appear to be anyway I can have it ignore the 443 it finds (Which is simply an nginx server), and use the one I specify.

Misconfiguration in curl query strings
Hi, Firstly, awesome project!

I can't seem to find FE and BE endpoint codes. Are they open sourced too? I am currently pulling from the docker container.

As you can see the image, there is no token= appended. Thus, token is not working. I've manually sent a curl with = and its working.

Basically this happens when you are adding a Generic k8s cluster from FE ^. Should be an easy fix.

prompt_toolkit why stuck on very old version

prompt toolkit is now in version 3.X branch and this project still forces installation of a older 1.X version. Unless people use venv this breaks other tools. Why stick with older version of dependecy and not move to new one.

https://python-prompt-toolkit.readthedocs.io/en/master/pages/upgrading/2.0.html

Any specific reason why sticking to older version here.
