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.
