KubeStalk

KubeStalk is a tool to discover Kubernetes and related infrastructure based attack surface from a black-box perspective. This tool is a community version of the tool used to probe for unsecured Kubernetes clusters around the internet during Project Resonance - Wave 9.

Usage

The GIF below demonstrates usage of the tool:

Installation

KubeStalk is written in Python and requires the requests library.

To install the tool, you can clone the repository to any directory:

git clone https://github.com/redhuntlabs/kubestalk

Once cloned, you need to install the requests library using python3 -m pip install requests or:

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Everything is setup and you can use the tool directly.

usage: ./kubestalk.py <url(s)>/<cidr>

Required Arguments:
  urls                  List of hosts to scan

Optional Arguments:
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        Output path to write the CSV file to
  -f SIG_FILE, --sig-dir SIG_FILE
                        Signature directory path to load
  -t TIMEOUT, --timeout TIMEOUT
                        HTTP timeout value in seconds
  -ua USER_AGENT, --user-agent USER_AGENT
                        User agent header to set in HTTP requests
  --concurrency CONCURRENCY
                        No. of hosts to process simultaneously
  --verify-ssl          Verify SSL certificates
  --version             Display the version of KubeStalk and exit.

Basic Usage

To use the tool, you can pass one or more hosts to the script. All targets passed to the tool must be RFC 3986 complaint, i.e. must contain a scheme and hostname (and port if required).

A basic usage is as below:

$ python3 kubestalk.py https://███.██.██.███:10250

[+] Loaded 10 signatures to scan.
[*] Processing host: https://███.██.██.██:10250
[!] Found potential issue on https://███.██.██.██:10250: Kubernetes Pod List Exposure
[*] Writing results to output file.
[+] Done.

HTTP Tuning

HTTP requests can be fine-tuned using the -t (to mention HTTP timeouts), -ua (to specify custom user agents) and the --verify-ssl (to validate SSL certificates while making requests).

Concurrency

You can control the number of hosts to scan simultanously using the --concurrency flag. The default value is set to 5.

Output

The output is written to a CSV filea and can be controlled by the --output flag.

A sample of the CSV output rendered in markdown is as belows:
