# Kubernetes Security - Complete Dataset

A comprehensive bilingual (FR/EN) dataset covering misconfigurations, attack paths, and Q&A about Kubernetes security.

## 📊 Dataset Content

### 1. **Kubernetes Misconfigurations** (60+ entries)
- **Categories**: RBAC, PodSecurity, NetworkPolicy, Secrets, ImageSecurity, RuntimeSecurity, Admission, Logging, APIServer, etcd
- **Fields**: ID, name, category, descriptions FR/EN, risk level (Critical/High/Medium/Low)
- **Additional Details**: remediation FR/EN, kubectl command for detection, CIS Benchmark reference, MITRE ATT&CK mapping
- **Affected Resources**: Pod, Deployment, ServiceAccount, ClusterRole, etc.

**Examples Covered**:
- Privileged containers and hostPID/hostNetwork
- Missing network policies
- Default service account with cluster-admin
- Secrets in environment variables
- Missing resource limits
- Missing Pod Security Standards
- Unrestricted NodePort
- Exposed Kubernetes Dashboard
- Unencrypted etcd
- Missing audit logging

### 2. **Kubernetes Attack Paths** (30 scenarios)
- **Categories**: ContainerEscape, PrivilegeEscalation, LateralMovement, DataExfiltration, Persistence, InitialAccess
- **Detailed Steps**: step number, actions FR/EN, tools used, MITRE technique
- **Prerequisites**: conditions necessary for attack
- **Detection**: how to identify and prevent
- **Difficulty**: Easy, Medium, Hard, Expert

**Examples Covered**:
- Privilege escalation via default service account
- Container escape via privileged containers
- NetworkPolicy bypass via hostNetwork
- Secrets extraction from ConfigMap
- RBAC misconfiguration exploitation
- Kubelet API exploitation
- Direct etcd extraction
- Container image supply chain attacks
- Pod escape via runtime
- And 20+ more...
