  1. Challenge

    Getting Started in the Lab Environment

    Here are the initial instructions and explanation of the lab environment. Read this while your environment is busy creating itself from nothing. Yes, this violates physics; we know. How fun!

  2. Challenge

    Perform Initial Security Tests

    Running Docker containers by default is not secure. In this challenge, you will understand how to demonstrate the lack of security and run a security audit.

  3. Challenge

    Implement Docker Container Security

    Docker by default is not secure. You will create a non root user, test access to files, and prevent privilege escalation.

  4. Challenge

    Secure Docker Container Deployments

    With multiple containers running on the same host, DoS attacks are a real problem. In this challenge, you will limit container resources to preserve Docker host resources.
