# Docker Privilege Escalation Skill
Docker container escape and privilege escalation — Docker socket abuse, volume mount host takeover, docker group root-equivalence, and prior-privilege-escalation detection. Docker group membership = instant root on the host via 5 distinct techniques. Confirmed on fitness-chain (Docker containers extracted, 12 image layers, privileged mode) and gov-finance-portal (Dockerfile + docker-compose.prod.yml exposed in GitLab).
## When to Use
- You have shell access to a Docker container (via webshell, SSH, or API exploit).
- `id` shows you're in the `docker` group or have access to `/var/run/docker.sock`.
- `docker ps` or `docker info` works from within the container.
- After `api-noauth-hunt` or `wordpress-full-compromise` achieves RCE in a container.
- Docker socket is mounted at `/var/run/docker.sock` (check: `ls -la /var/run/docker.sock`).
