Kubesploit

Kubesploit is a cross-platform post-exploitation HTTP/2 Command & Control server and agent specifically designed for containerized environments. Built in Golang on top of the Merlin project, it provides offensive security capabilities for Docker and Kubernetes environments. The tool addresses the gap in complex attack vector coverage for container orchestration platforms, moving beyond passive vulnerability scanning to active exploitation. It enables security professionals to simulate real-world attacks against containerized infrastructure to test organizational resilience and incident response capabilities. Kubesploit operates as a C2 framework that allows penetration testers and red team operators to establish command and control channels within container environments. The tool supports post-exploitation activities in Kubernetes clusters and Docker deployments, providing a platform for testing detection systems and security controls. The framework is designed to help organizations practice cyber event management through realistic attack simulations rather than just identifying potential vulnerabilities through scanning. It complements existing Kubernetes security tools like KubiScan and kubeletctl by providing active exploitation capabilities.
