Threat findings are generated by\n[threat detectors](/security-command-center/docs/concepts-security-sources#threats) when they detect\na potential threat in your cloud resources. For a full list of available threat findings, see [Threat findings index](/security-command-center/docs/threat-findings-index).\n\nOverview\n\nA process started with stream redirection to a remote connected socket. Spawning\na network-connected shell can allow an attacker to perform arbitrary actions\nafter a limited initial compromise.\n\nHow to respond\n\nTo respond to this finding, do the following:\n\nStep 1: Review finding details\n\n1. Open a `Reverse Shell` finding as directed in [Reviewing\n findings](/security-command-center/docs/how-to-investigate-threats#reviewing_findings). The details panel for the\n finding opens to the **Summary** tab.\n\n2. On the **Summary** tab, review the information in the following sections:\n\n - **What was detected** , especially the following fields:\n - **Program binary**: the absolute path of the process started with stream redirection to a remote socket.\n - **Arguments**: the arguments provided when invoking the process binary.\n - **Affected resource** , especially the following fields:\n - **Resource full name** : the [full resource name](/apis/design/resource_names) of the cluster.\n - **Project full name**: the affected Google Cloud project.\n - **Related links** , especially the following fields:\n - **VirusTotal indicator**: link to the VirusTotal analysis page.\n3. In the detail view of the finding, click the **JSON** tab.\n\n4. In the JSON, note the following fields.\n\n - `resource`:\n - `project_display_name`: the name of the project that contains the asset.\n - `sourceProperties`:\n - `Pod_Namespace`: the name of the Pod's Kubernetes namespace.\n - `Pod_Name`: the name of the GKE Pod.\n - `Container_Name`: the name of the affected container.\n - `VM_Instance_Name`: the name of the GKE node where the Pod executed.\n - `Reverse_Shell_Stdin_Redirection_Dst_Ip`: the remote IP address of the connection\n - `Reverse_Shell_Stdin_Redirection_Dst_Port`: the remote port\n - `Reverse_Shell_Stdin_Redirection_Src_Ip`: the local IP address of the connection\n - `Reverse_Shell_Stdin_Redirection_Src_Port`: the local port\n - `Container_Image_Uri`: the name of the container image being executed.\n\nStep 2: Review cluster and node\n\n1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the **Kubernetes clusters** page.\n\n [Go to Kubernetes clusters](https://console.cloud.google.com/kubernetes/list)\n2. On the Google Cloud console toolbar, select the project listed in\n `resource.project_display_name`, if necessary.\n\n3. Select the cluster listed in `resource.name`. Note any metadata about\n the cluster and its owner.\n\n4. Click the **Nodes** tab. Select the node listed in `VM_Instance_Name`.\n\n5. Click the **Details** tab and note the\n `container.googleapis.com/instance_id` annotation.\n\nStep 3: Review Pod\n\n1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the **Kubernetes Workloads** page.\n\n [Go to Kubernetes Workloads](https://console.cloud.google.com/kubernetes/workload)\n2. On the Google Cloud console toolbar, select the project listed in\n `resource.project_display_name`, if necessary.\n\n3. Filter on the cluster listed in `resource.name` and the Pod namespace\n listed in `Pod_Namespace`, if necessary.\n\n4. Select the Pod listed in `Pod_Name`. Note any metadata about the Pod and\n its owner.\n\nStep 4: Check logs\n\n1. In the Google Cloud console, go to **Logs Explorer**.\n\n [Go to Logs Explorer](https://console.cloud.google.com/logs/query)\n2. On the Google Cloud console toolbar, select the project listed in\n `resource.project_display_name`, if necessary.\n\n3. Set **Select time range** to the period of interest.\n\n4. On the page that loads, do the following:\n\n 1. Find Pod logs for `Pod_Name` by using the following filter:\n - `resource.type=\"k8s_container\"`\n - `resource.labels.project_id=\"`\u003cvar class=\"edit\" translate=\"no\"\u003eresource.project_display_name\u003c/var\u003e`\"`\n - `resource.labels.location=\"`\u003cvar class=\"edit\" translate=\"no\"\u003elocation\u003c/var\u003e`\"`\n - `resource.labels.cluster_name=\"`\u003cvar class=\"edit\" translate=\"no\"\u003ecluster_name\u003c/var\u003e`\"`\n - `resource.labels.namespace_name=\"`\u003cvar class=\"edit\" translate=\"no\"\u003ePod_Namespace\u003c/var\u003e`\"`\n - `resource.labels.pod_name=\"`\u003cvar class=\"edit\" translate=\"no\"\u003ePod_Name\u003c/var\u003e`\"`\n 2. Find cluster audit logs by using the following filter:\n - `logName=\"projects/`\u003cvar class=\"edit\" translate=\"no\"\u003eresource.project_display_name\u003c/var\u003e`/logs/cloudaudit.googleapis.com%2Factivity\"`\n - `resource.type=\"k8s_cluster\"`\n - `resource.labels.project_id=\"`\u003cvar class=\"edit\" translate=\"no\"\u003eresource.project_display_name\u003c/var\u003e`\"`\n - `resource.labels.location=\"`\u003cvar class=\"edit\" translate=\"no\"\u003elocation\u003c/var\u003e`\"`\n - `resource.labels.cluster_name=\"`\u003cvar class=\"edit\" translate=\"no\"\u003ecluster_name\u003c/var\u003e`\"`\n - \u003cvar class=\"edit\" translate=\"no\"\u003ePod_Name\u003c/var\u003e\n 3. Find GKE node console logs by using the following filter:\n - `resource.type=\"gce_instance\"`\n - `resource.labels.instance_id=\"`\u003cvar class=\"edit\" translate=\"no\"\u003einstance_id\u003c/var\u003e`\"`\n\nStep 5: Investigate running container\n\nIf the container is still running, it might be possible to investigate the\ncontainer environment directly.\n\n1. Go to the Google Cloud console.\n\n [Open Google Cloud console](https://console.cloud.google.com/)\n2. On the Google Cloud console toolbar, select the project listed in\n `resource.project_display_name`, if necessary.\n\n3. Click **Activate Cloud Shell** .\n\n4. Obtain GKE credentials for your cluster by running the\n following commands.\n\n For zonal clusters: \n\n gcloud container clusters get-credentials \u003cvar class=\"edit\" translate=\"no\"\u003ecluster_name\u003c/var\u003e --zone \u003cvar class=\"edit\" translate=\"no\"\u003elocation\u003c/var\u003e --project \u003cvar class=\"edit\" translate=\"no\"\u003eresource.project_display_name\u003c/var\u003e\n\n For regional clusters: \n\n gcloud container clusters get-credentials \u003cvar class=\"edit\" translate=\"no\"\u003ecluster_name\u003c/var\u003e --region \u003cvar class=\"edit\" translate=\"no\"\u003elocation\u003c/var\u003e --project \u003cvar class=\"edit\" translate=\"no\"\u003eresource.project_display_name\u003c/var\u003e\n\n5. Launch a shell within the container environment by running:\n\n kubectl exec --namespace=\u003cvar class=\"edit\" translate=\"no\"\u003ePod_Namespace\u003c/var\u003e -ti \u003cvar class=\"edit\" translate=\"no\"\u003ePod_Name\u003c/var\u003e -c \u003cvar class=\"edit\" translate=\"no\"\u003eContainer_Name\u003c/var\u003e -- /bin/sh\n\n This command requires the container to have a shell installed at `/bin/sh`.\n\n To view all processes running in the container, run the following command\n in the container shell: \n\n ps axjf\n\n This command requires the container to have `/bin/ps` installed.\n\nStep 6: Research attack and response methods\n\n1. Review MITRE ATT\\&CK framework entries for this finding type: [Command and Scripting Interpreter](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1059/), [Ingress Tool Transfer](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1105/).\n2. Check the SHA-256 hash value for the binary flagged as malicious on [VirusTotal](https://www.virustotal.com) by clicking the link in **VirusTotal indicator**. VirusTotal is an Alphabet-owned service that provides context on potentially malicious files, URLs, domains, and IP addresses.\n3. To develop a response plan, combine your investigation results with the MITRE research and VirusTotal analysis.\n\nStep 7: Implement your response\n\n\nThe following response plan might be appropriate for this finding, but might also impact operations.\nCarefully evaluate the information you gather in your investigation to determine the best way to\nresolve findings.\n\n- Contact the owner of the project with the compromised container.\n- Stop or [delete](/container-registry/docs/managing#deleting_images) the compromised container and replace it with a [new container](/compute/docs/containers).\n\nWhat's next\n\n- Learn [how to work with threat\n findings in Security Command Center](/security-command-center/docs/how-to-investigate-threats).\n- Refer to the [Threat findings index](/security-command-center/docs/threat-findings-index).\n- Learn how to [review a\n finding](/security-command-center/docs/how-to-investigate-threats#reviewing_findings) through the Google Cloud console.\n- Learn about the [services that\n generate threat findings](/security-command-center/docs/concepts-security-sources#threats)."]]
