Time to level up your K8s security. I won't oversell the class - I'll just let 4 people I respect tell you what they got out of it.
Hack some #Kubernetes with me this August at @BlackHatEvents in Las Vegas!

's kubernetes training is probably the best way to learn kubernetes security right now. I took it about a year ago and learned a ton even though I've been leading Kubernetes offensive security efforts for ~2 years." - Graham Helton
"FWIW Really enjoying opening day of the class diving into containers from first principles before going into attack and defense. Honestly BEST deep introduction to container fundamentals I’ve encountered, and I’ve heard many (and teach it myself at work.)" - Kerry Bonin

ALT Quotes about Jay Beale's Kubernetes class from previous students. "I took this at BlackHat last year from @jaybeale and it was fantastic. Can't recommend it enough." - by Jake Williams "I've said this before and I'll say it again,[@jaybeale](https://x.com/jaybeale)'s kubernetes training is probably the best way to learn kubernetes security right now.

🚨Do you understand the irony of what just happened..
the FBI spent two years investigating Hillary Clinton for using a personal email for government work.. it dominated every news cycle.. it decided an election.. "lock her up.."
the man they put in charge of the FBI.. just got his personal email hacked by Iran..
the DOJ confirmed it.. Iran-linked group "Handala" breached FBI Director Kash Patel's personal email and got his data..
think about the timing..
America has fired 850 Tomahawk missiles at Iran this month.. spent billions.. and Iran didn't fire back with a missile..
they walked through the front door of the FBI..
and here's what nobody wants to say out loud.. the FBI Director was using a personal email in the first place.. the same thing the FBI called a national security threat when Hillary did it..
the agency that decides what's a crime.. doesn't follow its own rules..
The rules only apply until you're the one making them.

Garcia: While you were being assaulted, you told the agents that you had filmed this on your phone?
Bazan: Yes.
Garcia: And that’s when they took your phone away. These agents didn’t just take your phone. They sold it. They pawned it at a kiosk for $250. Is that correct?
Bazan: Yes.

I’m old enough to remember when celebrating a conservative white man’s death could get you fired, censured by Congress or kicked off late night television

Folks, we need to talk about Steve Marshall. Alabama’s AG keeps trying to execute people who didn’t kill anyone. And now he’s running for the U.S. Senate.

I resigned from OpenAI. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn’t an easy call. AI has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I’m proud of what we built together.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

168 schools girls are dead because he had a “feeling”?
There’s war in the Middle East because of his “vibes”?
There was no credible intelligence that Iran was about to strike.
Where is Congress?
Stop this war before more people die.

Neglect in the ICE camps is so severe that immigrants are dying of tooth infections
It’s cruel & unusual punishment
It’s a violation of basic human rights
They denied this man dignity & compassion
The richest country in the world let a man die of a tooth infection
