Cilium Zero Trust Networking Protections Against CVE-2020-8554
You've probably heard about the new Man in the Middle (MITM) vulnerability in Kubernetes. If you're unfamiliar, a MITM vulnerability works by redirecting a victim's legitimate network traffic through a secret attacker on the network, where the attacker can eavesdrop or actively tamper with the victim's data before sending it to its intended destination. There have been several MITM vulnerabilities in Kubernetes, most of which take advantage of the default overly-permissive CAP_NET_RAW permissions in Kubernetes. However this vulnerability is unique in two ways:1. MITM attacks generally make use of common types of network vulnerabilities, whereas this vulnerability affects the API layer of Kubernetes itself. 2. Unlike most vulnerabilities that are assigned a Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE), there's no patch or hotfix you can deploy to protect your environment. This vulnerability is also unique in another way:if you're running Cilium without kube-proxy, you aren't vulnerable to it at all. Let's talk about how.

eBPF - The Future of Networking & Security
Today is an exciting day for the Cilium community: Isovalent, the company behind Cilium, is announcing its $29M Series A financing round backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Google, and Cisco. This is a perfect occasion to take a deeper look into where eBPF-based networking is coming from and to understand what the excitement is all about.

eBPF Summit Oct 28-29, 2020
The first ever eBPF Summit is just over one week out and we are already well past 1'000 registrations. We have been blown away by the number of talk and keynote proposals. This also meant that we had to turn down many fantastic talks and we hope that our selection provides an interesting and diverse set of talks. Some of the content that did not make the schedule will be posted as blog posts on ebpf.io over the coming weeks. In this post, we'll give a quick preview of what to be excited about and how to plan to attend the event.
