offensive-container-escape skillA

offensive-container-escape is agent-read markdown (skill) from snailsploit/claude-red: Container escape and breakout techniques targeting Docker, containerd, and Podman runtimes. Covers privileged container breakout via host filesystem mount and nsenter, Docker socket abuse through /var/run/docker.sock, Linux capability exploitation including CAP_SYS_ADMIN, CAP_SYS_PTRACE, and CAP_NET_ADMIN, cgroup v1 notify_on_release escape, runc CVEs such as CVE-2019-5736 and CVE-2024-21626 Leaky Vessels, kernel exploits from within containers, and Dockerfile misconfigurations like --privileged.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Container Escape and Breakout

You have a shell inside a container. Your objective is to break out to the underlying host operating system. Container isolation relies on Linux namespaces, cgroups, seccomp profiles, AppArmor/SELinux, and dropped capabilities. Every misconfiguration in these layers is an escape vector. This skill walks you through systematic enumeration, exploitation of common misconfigurations, abuse of exposed runtime sockets, capability-based escapes, cgroup breakouts, and known CVEs against container runtimes.

## Quick Workflow

1. Confirm you are inside a container (check for `.dockerenv`, cgroup entries, PID 1 process).
2. Enumerate capabilities, mounts, namespaces, and sockets with automated tools.
3. Identify the escape vector: privileged mode, socket exposure, dangerous capabilities, cgroup misconfiguration, or vulnerable runtime.
4. Execute the breakout technique matching the vector.
5. Validate host access by reading `/etc/hostname`, checking PID namespace, or writing to host filesystem.
6. Pivot from host access to lateral movement across the cluster or infrastructure.
