Inspektor Gadget

Bret and Nirmal are joined by Chris Kühl and Jose Blanquicet, the maintainers of Inspektor Gadget, the new eBPF-focused multitool, to see what it's all about.

😇 My new GitHub Security workshop has launched! A free 2-hour workshop with hands-on labs to harden your repos and your workflows from common supply chain attacks. I'll cover how attackers are getting in, and then we'll lock down a sample repo so you know what needs to be done to protect your code. You'll leave with a deep understanding of risks and mitigations as well as a list of helpful tools to keep your repos safe, including my new "gasa" tool for scanning your repos and orgs.

Inspektor Gadget, aims to solve some serious problems with managing Linux kernel-level tools via Kubernetes. Each security, troubleshooting, or observability utility is packaged in an OCI image and deployed to Kubernetes (and now Linux directly) via the Inspektor Gadget CLI and framework.
