What Hacker News says
2 sourcesCDK is an open-sourced container penetration toolkit, designed for offering stable exploitation in different slimmed containers without any OS dependency. It comes with useful net-tools and many powerful PoCs/EXPs helps you to escape container and takeover K8s cluster easily.
CDK is a CLI tool which allows you to:
1. Evaluate weakness in containers or K8s pods.
2. Exploit multiple container vulnerabilities.
3. Perform common container post-exploitation actions.
4. Provide capability when host-based tools or binaries are not available in the container.
5. Perform the above in a manual or automated approach.
Features of current open-sourced pre-release v0.1.7:
1. Evaluate target container to find potential weakness (including 11 items).
2. Exploitation for container escaping, persistence and lateral movement (13 exploits).
3. Tools for netw
