offensive-k8s-attacks skillB

offensive-k8s-attacks is agent-read markdown (skill) from snailsploit/claude-red: Kubernetes cluster attack techniques covering the full attack lifecycle from initial foothold in a pod to cluster-wide compromise. Covers service account token theft and impersonation, RBAC misconfiguration exploitation including wildcard permissions and privilege escalation via role binding, direct etcd access for secret extraction, kubelet API abuse on port 10250 and read-only port 10255, pod escape via hostPID hostNetwork and hostPath volume mounts, Kubernetes secrets enumeration and decoding.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Kubernetes Cluster Attacks

You have access to a Kubernetes environment, either through a compromised pod, stolen kubeconfig, or exposed API server. Your objective is to escalate privileges, move laterally, and compromise the cluster or underlying cloud infrastructure. Kubernetes security depends on RBAC policies, network policies, admission controllers, pod security standards, and cloud IAM integration. Each misconfiguration opens a path to deeper access. This skill covers systematic enumeration, privilege escalation, secret extraction, and cluster-wide compromise techniques.

## Quick Workflow

1. Determine your initial position: pod shell, stolen token, exposed API, or kubeconfig file.
2. Enumerate service account permissions, cluster roles, and accessible resources.
3. Identify escalation vectors: RBAC gaps, kubelet exposure, hostPath mounts, cloud metadata access.
4. Escalate privileges by chaining misconfigurations or abusing overprivileged service accounts.
5. Extract secrets, pivot to other namespaces, and target the control plane.
6. Leverage cloud metadata or etcd access for infrastructure-wide compromise.
