You work in IT for a popular local store that sells a variety of goods, from pillows to bicycles. They're about to launch their first online store, but before launch they've asked a security expert to pen test the site before it goes public. Unfortunately, the security expert found a problem! The online store is vulnerable to SQL injection. The security expert was able to expoit the site to obtain sensitive information from your database, including user names and passwords!
Your team has come to you - the Kubernetes engineer - to save the day. Luckily, you know that SQL injection - as well as other vulnerabilities - can be mitigated using Kubernetes traffic management tools. You already deployed an Ingress controller to expose the app, and in a single configuration you're able to ensure this vulnerability can't be exploited. Now the online store can launch on time. Well done!
In this lab you will:
◆ Exploit an application vulnerable to SQL injection
◆ Use an NGINX sidecar container to block certain requests
◆ Configure NGINX Ingress Controller to filter requests
Technologies Used:
◆ NGINX Ingress Controller: bit.ly/3vpPkRw
◆ NGINX Open Source: nginx.org
◆ Helm: https://helm.sh
