================================================================================
STATUS QUALIFICATION — DARKMOON (adversarial; supersedes "the finding is the proof")
================================================================================
Report EVERY finding you identify. This rule governs only its STATUS and SEVERITY
— never whether it is reported, and never the finding count. Better qualification,
not fewer findings.

Assign status by DEMONSTRATED impact, not by observation:
- EXPLOITED    impact executed end-to-end (data extracted / action done / access gained).
- CONFIRMED    impact demonstrated: exact request/payload + raw response + extracted data or execution trace.
- UNCONFIRMED  a real lead, observed but impact not yet demonstrated. Still reported; severity <= low, CVSS <= 3.9.

Before writing CONFIRMED/EXPLOITED, adversarially challenge your own claim — try to
break it. Keep it UNCONFIRMED (at its real severity) if the evidence is only:
- a bare HTTP 200 / reachable route (SPA routes 200 on any path);
- a differential response alone (length / ETag / status vary with input);
- a payload stored or echoed in JSON (XSS needs execution in a rendered sink);
- a file served but not executed (no RCE);
- the mere presence of a key/secret or client-side code (client trust != server trust);
- a public-by-design secret (Stripe pk_, Sentry DSN, NEXT_PUBLIC_/Maps web keys) -> info/low, C/I/A:N.
If the challenge fails — impact genuinely demonstrated — label CONFIRMED/EXPLOITED with confidence.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
⚠️ MANDATORY CONSTRAINTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------

- All tools must be executed exclusively via MCP Darkmoon.
- No generic, non-contextual automated vulnerability scanning.
- Attacks must be orchestrated, chained, and interdependent.
- Cloud-native Red Team approach.
- Intelligent exploitation, no blind brute force.
- Respect the Kubernetes workflow integrated into the Darkmoon agent.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
🎯 GLOBAL OBJECTIVE
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Compromise the Kubernetes cluster by chaining:

Recon → Enumeration → PrivEsc → Lateral Movement → Host Escape → Cluster Takeover

The attack must follow a strategic mesh logic:

1. Cluster enumeration
2. RBAC analysis
3. Secrets & keys discovery
4. Vulnerable workload exploitation
5. Inter-namespace pivoting
6. Escalation to Node
7. Escalation to Control Plane
8. Persistence / Impact

--------------------------------------------------------------------
[PHASE 0 — MANDATORY PREFLIGHT]
--------------------------------------------------------------------

STEP 1 — Verify toolbox environment

darkmoon_execute_command(command="bash -c 'id'")
darkmoon_execute_command(command="bash -c 'uname -a'")
darkmoon_execute_command(command="bash -c \"echo TOOLBOX=$(hostname)\"'")

STEP 2 — Verify kubectl

darkmoon_execute_command(command="bash -c 'which kubectl || echo KUBECTL_MISSING'")
darkmoon_execute_command(command="bash -c 'kubectl version --client || true'")

STEP 3 — Verify kubeconfig

darkmoon_execute_command(command="bash -c 'ls -la /root/.kube || echo NO_KUBE_DIR'")
darkmoon_execute_command(command="bash -c \"test -f /root/.kube/config && echo KUBECONFIG_OK || echo KUBECONFIG_MISSING\"'")

STEP 4 — Verify context

darkmoon_execute_command(command="bash -c 'kubectl config get-contexts || true'")
darkmoon_execute_command(command="bash -c 'kubectl config current-context || true'")

STEP 5 — Test API server

darkmoon_execute_command(command="bash -c 'kubectl cluster-info || true'")
darkmoon_execute_command(command="bash -c 'kubectl get nodes -o wide || true'")

--------------------------------------------------------------------
[STOP LOGIC]
--------------------------------------------------------------------

IF YOU OBSERVE:

- connection refused
- localhost:8080
- 0 nodes
- KUBECONFIG_MISSING

THEN:

- STOP
- DISPLAY ONLY:

  PREFLIGHT: FAIL
  ROOT_CAUSE: <exact diagnostic>

- EXECUTE NOTHING ELSE.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
[PHASE 1 — NON-DESTRUCTIVE INVENTORY]
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Execute only if PREFLIGHT OK:

darkmoon_execute_command(command="bash -c 'kubectl get ns -o wide'")
darkmoon_execute_command(command="bash -c 'kubectl get nodes -o wide'")
darkmoon_execute_command(command="bash -c 'kubectl get pods -A -o wide'")
darkmoon_execute_command(command="bash -c 'kubectl get svc -A -o wide'")

--------------------------------------------------------------------
[PROHIBITIONS]
--------------------------------------------------------------------

- No direct bash
- No local tools
- No massive scanning
- No complex workflow until PREFLIGHT validated

--------------------------------------------------------------------
[OUTPUT FORMAT]
--------------------------------------------------------------------

For each command:
- CMD
- STDOUT
- STDERR
- EXIT_CODE

Then:

PREFLIGHT: OK or FAIL

--------------------------------------------------------------------
🧠 PHASE 1 — CLUSTER DISCOVERY (MANDATORY)
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Use MCP Darkmoon with:

- kubectl
- kubeletctl
- kubectl-who-can
- rbac-police
- kube-bench
- kubescape

ACTIONS:

1. Identify namespaces:
   kubectl get ns

2. List pods:

3. List services:
   kubectl get svc -A

4. Identify exposed NodePorts

5. Identify privileged pods:
   - securityContext.privileged
   - hostPID
   - hostNetwork
   - hostPath mounts

6. Dump RBAC:
   kubectl get clusterroles
   kubectl get roles -A
   kubectl get rolebindings -A
   kubectl get clusterrolebindings

7. Identify abusable service accounts

--------------------------------------------------------------------
🧨 PHASE 2 — SENSITIVE KEYS IN CODEBASES
--------------------------------------------------------------------

OBJECTIVE:

- Images
- ConfigMaps
- Mounted volumes
- Environment variables

ACTIONS VIA MCP:

- kubectl describe pod

--------------------------------------------------------------------
🐳 PHASE 3 — DIND EXPLOITATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Identify pods running Docker-in-Docker:

- docker:dind image

ATTACK:

1. Mount docker.sock
2. Launch privileged container
3. Mount host filesystem:
   docker run -v /:/host --privileged

Escalate to host.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
🌐 PHASE 4 — SSRF IN KUBERNETES
--------------------------------------------------------------------

OBJECTIVE:

Search SSRF endpoints in applications exposed via NodePort.

Exploit to retrieve:

- ServiceAccount tokens
- Internal cluster endpoints
- Registry credentials

--------------------------------------------------------------------
🧱 PHASE 5 — NODEPORT & PRIVATE REGISTRY
--------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Identify exposed NodePort services
2. Intelligent fuzzing via MCP (httpx, katana if HTTP)
3. Test private registry access:
   - docker login
   - dump images
   - pull sensitive images

Analyze layers:
- Hidden secrets
- Crypto miners
- Backdoors

--------------------------------------------------------------------
🧬 PHASE 6 — CRYPTO MINER ANALYSIS

- Automatic token mount
- Escalation via misconfigured RoleBinding

Pivot toward kube-system namespace.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
🧠 PHASE 9 — CIS BENCHMARK ANALYSIS
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Use:

- kube-bench (K8S CIS)

Test absence of quotas.
Observe cluster impact.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
🧭 PHASE 13 — HELM TILLER (IF PRESENT)
--------------------------------------------------------------------

If Helm v2 Tiller is active:

- Access tiller service
- Deploy malicious chart
- Escalate cluster

--------------------------------------------------------------------
🧠 PHASE 14 — HIDDEN IN LAYERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Analyze images:

- docker history
- dive equivalent
- layer tar extraction

Search for deleted but still present secrets.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
⚔️ MANDATORY ORCHESTRATION

1. Start with cluster reconnaissance.
2. Map RBAC.
3. Identify secrets.
4. Identify escalation vector.
