Intro to the CloudNative SecurityCon CTF


CEO Andrew Martin was interviewed by The New Stack (opens in a new tab) at CloudNative SecurityCon 2023, and demo'd the Capture-the-Flag (CTF) competition developed and run by ControlPlane.
Let loose on a realistic, production-like Kubernetes cluster, each player must navigate three fiendish scenarios and thwart ControlPlane's long-time adversary Captain Hashjack (opens in a new tab). Along the way, they will enumerate, exploit and escalate their way to buried treasure in the form of hidden flags scattered throughout the cluster.
Many of the tools, techniques and procedures required for victory over our notorious foe and the successful defence of our clusters can be found in Andrew Martin and Michael Hausenblas's book Hacking Kubernetes (free download behind the link).
