Strengthening Docker Security: Best Practices for Resilient Containers

Docker's proliferation has led to some serious vulnerabilities, but you can improve security in Docker containers by following a set of best practices.

Hackers Exploit OpenMetadata Flaws to Mine Crypto on Kubernetes

Threat actors are actively exploiting critical vulnerabilities in OpenMetadata to gain unauthorized access to Kubernetes workloads and leverage them for cryptocurrency mining activity. That's according to the Microsoft Threat Intelligence team, which said the flaws have been weaponized since the start of April 2024. OpenMetadata is an open-source platform that operates as a

Rrgen - A Header Only C++ Library For Storing Safe, Randomly Generated Data Into Modern Containers

This library was developed to combat insecure methods of storing random data into modern C++ containers. For example, old and clunky PRNGs. Thus, rrgen uses STL's distribution engines in order to efficiently and safely store a random number distribution into a given C++ container.

Installation

1) git clone https://github.com/josh0xA/rrgen.git
2) cd rrgen
3) make
4) Add include/rrgen.hpp to your project tree for access to the library classes and functions.

Official Documentation

rrgen/docs/index.rst

Supported Containers

1) std::vector<>
2) std::list<>
3) std::array<>
4) std::stack<>

Example Usages

#include "../include/rrgen.hpp"
#include <iostream>

int main(void)
{
    // Example usage for rrgen vector
    rrgen::rrand<float, std::vector, 10> rrvec;
    rrvec.gen_rrvector(false, true, 0, 10);
    for (auto &i : rrvec.contents())
    {
        std::cout << i << " ";
    } // ^ the same as rrvec.show_contents()

    // Example usage for rrgen list (frontside insertion)
    rrgen::rrand<int, std::list, 10> rrlist;
    rrlist.gen_rrlist(false, true, "fside", 5, 25);
    std::cout << '\n'; rrlist.show_contents();
    std::cout << "Size: " << rrlist.contents().size() << '\n';

    // Example usage for rrgen array
    rrgen::rrand_array<int, 5> rrarr;
    rrarr.gen_rrarray(false, true, 5, 35);
    for (auto &i : rrarr.contents())
    {
        std::cout << i << " ";
    } // ^ the same as rrarr.   show_contents()

    // Example usage for rrgen stack 
    rrgen::rrand_stack<float, 10> rrstack;
    rrstack.gen_rrstack(false, true, 200, 1000);
    for (auto m = rrstack.xsize(); m > 0; m--)
    {
        std::cout << rrstack.grab_top() << " ";
        rrstack.pop_off();
        if (m == 1) { std::cout << '\n'; }
    } 
}

Researchers Detail Kubernetes Vulnerability That Enables Windows Node Takeover

Details have been made public about a now-patched high-severity flaw in Kubernetes that could allow a malicious attacker to achieve remote code execution with elevated privileges under specific circumstances. “The vulnerability allows remote code execution with SYSTEM privileges on all Windows endpoints within a Kubernetes cluster,” Akamai security researcher Tomer Peled said. “To exploit
