Analyzing Compromised Containers
Until this chapter, we looked at some standard methods and techniques to acquire and analyze forensic images of virtual machines (VMs) and cloud services. However, developing and analyzing a containerized environment introduces an entirely new challenge.
In today’s technology landscape, containerization and Kubernetes orchestration have become fundamental to modern application deployment; therefore, ensuring these containers’ security is paramount. Containers offer tremendous benefits in terms of efficiency and scalability, but they also present new challenges, with security being a top concern.
This chapter aims to understand containers’ architecture and how containers are managed and orchestrated via Kubernetes.
In this chapter, we will be looking at the following topics:
- What are containers?
- Detecting and analyzing compromised containers
