Businesses adopt new and sophisticated technology every day. All that tech, however, comes with the risk of crime or financial fraud. That’s what forensic investigators help with — they solve these crimes by identifying the criminals and recovering the assets.

This is the second episode of the CSI Container series, published and presented at CloudNativeSecurityCon 2024. In this episode, we focus on Kubernetes CSI, how to conduct DFIR activities on K8s and containers, and how to perform static and dynamic analysis. As we covered in the first episode, DFIR refers to the union of Digital Forensics (DF) and Incident Response (IR). We also highlighted how conducting DFIR activities in a container environment differs from the usual DFIR in a host environment.

Carrying out a pentest correctly is important for finding and fixing security holes in a company. Including useful external IP addresses is an important part of pentesting.
