Challenge is from https://traefik.io/careers/platform-engineer/ It says:
docker run -it traefik/jobs
It spits out:
Helmsman, where are you? 🤔
And with -h added:
Usage of /start:
-debug string
debug
-local string
local
But nothing more from adding those params yet.
I guess this runs differently when deployed in a K8S cluster, mostly from the product being a K8S proxy, but also the message.
Running it as a deployment in kind spits out:
It seems I do need more permissions... May I be promoted cluster-admin? 🙏 Hmmmm, it seems Helmsman deployment has an issue 😒
And the with cluster-admin role:
Look at me by the 8888 ingress 🚪
But then pod crashes right after. The image is 4 years old, so perhaps it is a compatibility issue, I try to run it with and older version.
After downgrading adn adding an ingress:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
</head>
<body>
<center>
I have to tell you something...</br>
Something that nobody should know.</br>
However, everyone could see it.</br>
It's even part of my public image.</br>
Come back when you know more.</br>
But remember, it's a secret 🤫</br>
</center>
</body>
</html>
After hours digging into the binary for some hours I didn't find anything. Then I went to look at the image details on docker hub and found a peculiar LABEL there, I added that as a K8S secret and the out put changed to an Iframe leading to a Google form!
