Think containers are inherently secure? Think again. From bloated base images to secret leaks in layers, let's explore how 'dockerized' applications actually fall apart and how to fix them.
Is the Ship Sinking? Lost Security Between Container Layers and Lessons from the Field
Let’s debunk the myth that containers are inherently secure. From root user illusions to supply chain risks, I’m diving into why your 'isolated' environments might be more vulnerable than you think.
The Illusion of Container Isolation: Owning the Host via docker.sock
Think your containers are securely isolated? Think again. From exposed Docker sockets to unnecessary privileges, let's talk about how misconfigurations turn your secure containers into host-level backdoors.
Is Container Isolation a Lie? That Thin Line Between Docker Socket and Host
If you think your containers are bulletproof shells, think again. From Docker socket abuse to risky capabilities, let's talk about how that 'sandbox' can vanish in seconds and how to actually secure it.
Small Box, Big Trouble: Let’s Stop Romanticizing Alpine Linux
Think a 5MB container image makes you unhackable? Think again. We're diving into the myths of Alpine Linux and why your container's 'diet' might be making life easier for Red Teams.
Armored Vehicle or Glass Jar? The Illusion of Container Isolation
Think your containers are bulletproof? Think again. Let’s dive into why shared kernels and privileged flags are a Red Teamer’s dream and how you can actually lock things down.
The "Root" Illusion in Container Land: How Not to Score an Own Goal
