Blackhat 2022 recap – Trends and highlights
The new exploitation method presented by Zhenpeng Lin is called DirtyCred and is based on swapping Linux Kernel credentials. It’s simple, effective and generic. This allows it to perform container escape and still be an actual threat.

Blackhat 2022 recap – Trends and highlights
The demo is performed exploiting using Phantom-attack, presented at DefCon 29. The mitigation was using the new version of Falco (>0.32), and it is also recommended to use other methods to block the system call such as seccomp. This would affect its performance.
