Udemy — Hacking Kubernetes: Ethical Hacking & Penetration Testing 2026-7

Description

Examine Kubernetes security through a scoped assessment process carried out in controlled lab environments. The course begins with permission, rules of engagement and test boundaries, then studies the cluster's workloads, identities, permissions, network communication and container isolation. It connects Kubernetes configuration with Linux and cloud security concerns to explain where an assessment should gather evidence.

The lab topics include privilege escalation, container escape, lateral movement, service networking and runtime controls. The emphasis is on distinguishing confirmed vulnerabilities from blocked or inconclusive tests, recording evidence and writing remediation-oriented reports. Learners work toward understanding both possible attack paths and the defensive controls used to interrupt them.

Intended audience: Security testers, cloud-security engineers and Kubernetes administrators. SOC analysts and infrastructure professionals studying container security.

What you will learn

• Define the scope and engagement rules for an authorized Kubernetes assessment.
• Inspect workloads, identities, permissions and network behaviour in a lab cluster.
• Evaluate container and cluster security boundaries through controlled exercises.
• Document findings with evidence, test limitations and remediation recommendations.
