Docker escape paths abuse container misconfiguration, mounted host resources, default credentials, reused passwords, or excessive container privileges. The objective is to move from the container context to host-level access. ## Methodology * Identify whether the shell is inside a container and inspect mounts, capabilities, and exposed sockets. * Check for mounted host paths, SSH keys, reused credentials, and writable SUID binaries. * Use the least intrusive escape path that proves host access. ## Quick Checks ```bash id cat /proc/1/cgroup mount ls -la /var/run/docker.sock 2>/dev/null ```

--- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://hacking-notes.jord4n.pro/privesc/docker-escape.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
