What problem does it solve?

In Kubernetes environments, containers within a Pod share a network namespace, enabling an attacker to sniff traffic from sidecar proxies such as Istio Envoy. This Skill guides detection, packet capture, and analysis of leaked data from sidecar-enabled Pods.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detect presence of sidecars in a Pod (Istio/Linkerd) and confirm shared network namespaces.
  • Perform traffic capture and analysis to reveal sensitive data in plain HTTP between services.
  • Provide actionable steps to identify traffic patterns and potential data exfiltration risks in a cluster.

Quick Start

Identify sidecar-enabled Pods and responsibly capture observable traffic for assessment.
