Kubernetes Threat Hunting: Container Escape, Lateral Movement, and Cluster Defense
A technical walkthrough of the Kubernetes attack path from misconfigured pod to control plane compromise — with audit log queries, Falco rules, and the defensive controls that break each stage.
AWS IAM Privilege Escalation: Attack Paths, Detection, and Least Privilege Enforcement
A technical breakdown of how IAM misconfigurations enable privilege escalation in AWS — covering iam:PassRole abuse, CloudTrail evasion techniques, GuardDuty detection, and the controls that actually prevent account compromise.
Zero Trust in Practice: Service Mesh Security, mTLS Limitations, and SASE Architecture
A technical examination of Zero Trust network architectures — how Istio service meshes enforce mTLS, where the actual attack surface sits, detection strategies with Tetragon and OPA, and why identity becomes the new perimeter in SASE deployments.
eBPF: Kernel-Level Security Monitoring and the Attack Surface It Creates
A technical deep dive into eBPF for security engineers: syscall tracing with kprobes and tracepoints, XDP packet filtering, how Falco and Tetragon use eBPF, and how to detect and defend against malicious eBPF programs like BPFdoor.
BGP Hijacking: How Internet Routing Gets Manipulated and What's Being Done About It
A technical breakdown of BGP route hijacking — how the protocol works, how prefix and path attacks operate, real incidents from Pakistan Telecom to Rostelecom, and the state of RPKI, MANRS, and ASPA as defenses.
