Trivy. A Simple and Comprehensive Vulnerability Scanner for Containers.

Using Trivy:

Trivy is a mature and comprehensive open source tool from Aqua Security that supports scanning multiple sources, from file systems to containers and VMs. Trivy also looks beyond vulnerabilities, to scan licenses, secrets, infrastructure as code misconfiguration, and more.

I would suggest to think about the thread model that you are facing so you can have a better mental model of the weak points of your environment. The very very big majority of these attacks will be automated probing for publicly known vulnerabilities or default credentials. That means the maintainers of the software you are running and the channels on which their updates are shipped to you and deployed are very important factors. For software that is not installed from a trusted and well maintained source (e.g. Ubuntus main repository), you want to make extra sure that vulnerabilities are updated. E.g. your deployed docker containers might contain security issues, you can run checks on these with tools like trivy. The same is also true for appliances, in case your router or firewall contains a software vulnerability, how will you be notified and how will the required updates be deployed?

There're many other tools: https://github.com/aquasecurity/tracee from AquaSecurity for example

You can also use tracee, or auditd

If you're interested specifically in bash, you can look into bcc's bashreadline to output user commands. If you're interested in applying security policies to potential user commands, you can also take a look at Tracee although other open source solutions exist here as well.

Falco is a cloud native Kubernetes threat detection tool. It can detect unexpected behavior, intrusions, and data theft in real time. In the backend, it uses Linux eBPF technology to trace your system and applications at runtime. For example, it can detect if someone tries to read a secret file inside a container, access a pod as a root user, etc, and trigger a webhook or send logs to the monitoring system. There are similar tools like Tetragon, KubeArmor, and Tracee which also provide Kubernetes runtime security.

I will also be looking for an Engineering Manager to join the team soon. Responsibilities include people management, product direction, cross-team collaboration enablement. Need to understand the cloud native and opens source landscape. If you're interested please DM me on Twitter since the job posting isn't up yet.

Besides opensnitch to monitor outbound connections you can use https://github.com/aquasecurity/tracee/tree/main/tracee-ebpf or the bpfcc-tools (apt install bpfcc-tools, opensnoop-bpfcc, execsnoop-bpfcc, tcpconnect-bpfcc, etc) to monitor the system, just in case there's something still running.

Aqua Security provides the next generation of Cloud Native security solutions, and open source has been a core part to our DNA and strategy. Our Open Source team is fully remote worldwide. We are looking to expand with:

- Golang / Kubernetes engineer for https://github.com/aquasecurity/starboard

- Golang engineer for https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy

- eBPF/kernel developer for https://github.com/aquasecurity/tracee
