In an extended exploration of containerized environments, we executed a deep infosec snapshot with a 300-second time-to-live (TTL) limit for enhanced forensic data gathering. This allowed insights into CPU configurations, memory statistics, disk usage, network interfaces, process hierarchies, and security configurations within an LXC container.

Key findings include:

  • Detection of 32 CPUs with hyperthreading across multiple Xeon sockets
  • Extensive memory availability with minimal swap utilization
  • Security context confirming root privileges, AppArmor enforcement, and absence of SELinux
  • Network and process details with no direct evidence of nested containers
  • Standard system configurations for sudoers, cron, and firewall policies

    • This deeper analysis paves the way for more targeted security auditing, malware detection, and privilege escalation assessments in containerized Linux environments.

    Stay tuned for further detailed findings as the investigation progresses.
