title: kubernetes: Read a pod's secrets from within the pod
body: <p>Is there a way to read the secrets of a pod from <strong>within</strong> the pod?</p>
  
  <p>The pod is created with the <code>default</code> service account so even if I install <code>kubectl</code> I will not be able to perform <code>get secrets</code> unless I mess with the default SA (which I want to avoid).</p>
  
  <p>I know the secrets are available in plain text via the <code>env</code> command but so are a bunch of other environmental variables.</p>
  
  <p>How can I tell <strong>specifically</strong> which are the ones coming from <code>secrets</code>? </p>
  
  <p>(I am <strong>not</strong> using a volume to mount secrets and unfortunately for reasons way beyond the scope of this question, this cannot change)</p>
