Abstract As containerized environments become increasingly prevalent in cloud-native infrastructures, the need for effective monitoring and detection of malicious behaviors has become critical. Malicious containers pose significant risks by exploiting shared host resources, enabling privilege escalation, or launching large-scale attacks such as cryptomining and botnet activities. Therefore, developing accurate and efficient detection mechanisms is essential for ensuring the security and stability of containerized systems. To this end, we propose a hybrid detection framework that leverages the extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) to monitor container activities directly within the Linux kernel. The framework simultaneously collects flow-based network… More >
