+## Kubernetes ATT&CK Matrix
+
+kube-hunter now supports the new format of the Kubernetes ATT&CK matrix.
+While kube-hunter's vulnerabilities are a collection of creative techniques designed to mimic an attacker in the cluster (or outside it)
+The Mitre's ATT&CK defines a more general standardised categories of techniques to do so.
+
+You can think of kube-hunter vulnerabilities as small steps for an attacker, which follows the track of a more general technique he would aim for.
+Most of kube-hunter's hunters and vulnerabilities can closly fall under those techniques, That's why we moved to follow the Matrix standard.  
+ 
+_Some kube-hunter vulnerabities which we could not map to Mitre technique, are prefixed with the `General` keyword_

-### Advanced Usage  
-#### Azure Quick Scanning 
+
+## Advanced Usage
+### Azure Quick Scanning 
 When running **as a Pod in an Azure or AWS environment**, kube-hunter will fetch subnets from the Instance Metadata Service. Naturally this makes the discovery process take longer.
 To hardlimit subnet scanning to a `/24` CIDR, use the `--quick` option. 
 
+### Custom Hunting
+Custom hunting enables advanced users to have control over what hunters gets registered at the start of a hunt. 
+**If you know what you are doing**, this can help if you want to adjust kube-hunter's hunting and discovery process for your needs.
+
+Example: 
+```
+kube-hunter --custom <HunterName1> <HunterName2>
+``` 
+Enabling Custom hunting removes all hunters from the hunting process, except the given whitelisted hunters.
+
+The `--custom` flag reads a list of hunters class names, in order to view all of kube-hunter's class names, you can combine the flag `--raw-hunter-names` with the `--list` flag.  
+
+Example: 
+```
+kube-hunter --active --list --raw-hunter-names
+```
+
+**Notice**: Due to kube-huner's architectural design, the following "Core Hunters/Classes" will always register (even when using custom hunting):
+* HostDiscovery 
+  * _Generates ip addresses for the hunt by given configurations_
+  * _Automatically discovers subnets using cloud Metadata APIs_
+* FromPodHostDiscovery
+  * _Auto discover attack surface ip addresses for the hunt by using Pod based environment techniques_
+  * _Automatically discovers subnets using cloud Metadata APIs_
+* PortDiscovery
+  * _Port scanning given ip addresses for known kubernetes services ports_
+* Collector
+  * _Collects discovered vulnerabilities and open services for future report_
+* StartedInfo 
+  * _Prints the start message_
+* SendFullReport 
+  * _Dispatching the report based on given configurations_
+
+
