Hi,

Looking for some advice.

Basically with-in lacework kubernetes , looking to see which pods & nodes are accessible from internet ( inbound from internet). What i found so far is we can use 

Resources → Kubernetes → Pod Network → External connections . You can select all columns and download a CSV. 

There is a similar view for actual nodes as well. Node→ Kubernetes → Node Network → Node External Connections 

I am not 100% sure if this is accurate. Also this does not tell what ports are open for inbound connections ( some of the ports listed are >65k which seems to be odd as well)

Wondering if anyone had figured out the correct way to “Identify Internet accessible nodes and container pods ( inbound from internet)?”.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi!

We have a new feature called “Attack Path Analysis”, part of which does exactly this - identifying Internet exposed instances based on your cloud configuration. It’s currently in Public Preview for GCP - reach out to your account team if you’d like it enabled on your account!

Please see our announcement in Release Notes here:

and the general documentation here:
