Description

Adversaries who land credentials in a cluster or abuse an over-privileged token, often map the environment before exfiltration or privilege escalation. Rapid get/list traffic across distinct API resource kinds that answer those questions (namespaces, workloads, roles, cluster-wide roles) is a common setup and orientation pattern for both interactive attackers and automated recon scripts. This rule detects cross-resource bursts from a single client fingerprint within a one-minute bucket which may represent reconnaissance.

Detection logic

Its licence does not clear it for publishing here

Sunturai publishes a detection's own text where the licence it arrived under has been reviewed and permits it, and Elastic License 2.0 has not. The query as its source wrote it, its canonical form and the hash that pins this revision are in the workspace record.

Containers

The rule states no platform. This is derived from the ATT&CK technique it maps to.

Detections can measure how the public catalogue is used — which detections people look for, and which pages bring them here. It sets a cookie that recognises this browser for 180 days. It is never linked to an account and never follows you to other sites. Privacy notice
