SIMULATION
Context
For testing purposes, the kubeadm provisioned cluster 's API server
was configured to allow unauthenticated and unauthorized access.
Task
First, secure the cluster 's API server configuring it as follows:
. Forbid anonymous authentication
. Use authorization mode Node,RBAC
. Use admission controller NodeRestriction
The cluster uses the Docker Engine as its container runtime . If needed, use the docker command to troubleshoot running containers.
kubectl is configured to use unauthenticated and unauthorized access. You do not have to change it, but be aware that kubectl will stop working once you have secured the cluster .
You can use the cluster 's original kubectl configuration file located at etc/kubernetes/admin.conf to access the secured cluster.
Next, to clean up, remove the ClusterRoleBinding
system:anonymous.
1) SSH to control-plane node
ssh cks000002
sudo -i
2) Edit API Server static pod manifest
API server in kubeadm runs as a static pod.
vi /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml
3) Apply required API Server security settings
3.1 Forbid anonymous authentication
Find command: section and ensure this line exists:
- --anonymous-auth=false
3.2 Use authorization mode Node,RBAC
Ensure exactly this line exists (and no AlwaysAllow):
- --authorization-mode=Node,RBAC
Remove if present:
- --authorization-mode=AlwaysAllow
3.3 Enable admission controller NodeRestriction
Find --enable-admission-plugins and ensure NodeRestriction is included.
Correct example:
- --enable-admission-plugins=NodeRestriction
If other plugins already exist, append NodeRestriction, e.g.:
- --enable-admission-plugins=NamespaceLifecycle,ServiceAccount,NodeRestriction
4) Save file and let kubelet restart API server
Just save and exit (:wq)
Kubelet will automatically restart the API server pod.
5) Switch kubectl to secured config
Current kubectl will stop working after API server hardening.
export KUBECONFIG=/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf
Verify access:
kubectl get nodes
6) Remove insecure ClusterRoleBinding
Delete system:anonymous binding:
kubectl delete clusterrolebinding system:anonymous
Verify removal:
kubectl get clusterrolebinding | grep anonymous
(no output = correct)
7) Quick validation (optional but fast)
API server flags check:
grep -n 'anonymous-auth' /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml
grep -n 'authorization-mode' /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml
grep -n 'NodeRestriction' /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml

Using the runtime detection tool Falco, Analyse the container behavior for at least 20 seconds, using filters that detect newly spawning and executing processes in a single container of Nginx.
store the incident file art /opt/falco-incident.txt, containing the detected incidents. one per line, in the format

SIMULATION
Cluster: dev
Master node:master1
Worker node:worker1
You can switch the cluster/configuration context using the following command:
[desk@cli] $kubectl config use-context dev
Task:
Retrieve the content of the existing secret namedadamin thesafenamespace.
Store the username field in a file names/home/cert-masters/username.txt, and the password field in a file named/home/cert-masters/password.txt.
1. You must create both files; they don't exist yet.
2. Do not use/modify the created files in the following steps, create new temporary files if needed.
Create a new secret namesnewsecretin thesafenamespace, with the following content:
Username:dbadmin
Password:moresecurepas
Finally, create a new Pod that has access to the secretnewsecretvia a volume:
Namespace: safe
Pod name: mysecret-pod
Container name: db-container
Image: redis
Volume name: secret-vol
Mount path: /etc/mysecret




SIMULATION
use the Trivy to scan the following images,
1. amazonlinux:1
2. k8s.gcr.io/kube-controller-manager:v1.18.6
Look for images with HIGH or CRITICAL severity vulnerabilities and store the output of the same in /opt/trivy-vulnerable.txt
SIMULATION
Context:
Cluster:gvisor
Master node:master1
Worker node:worker1
You can switch the cluster/configuration context using the following command:
[desk@cli] $kubectl config use-context gvisor
