Abstract

Linux containers showed great superiority when compared to virtual machines and hypervisors in terms of networking, disk and memory management, start-up and compilation speed, and overall processing performance. In this research, we are questioning whether it is more secure to run services inside Linux containers than running them directly on a host base operating system or not. We used Docker v1.10 to conduct a series of experiments to assess the attack surface of hosts running services inside Docker containers compared to hosts running the same services on the base operating system represented in our paper as Debian Jessie. Our vulnerability assessment shows that using Docker containers increase the attack surface of a given host, not the other way around.
docker试验:Linux容器和基础操作系统攻击面
与虚拟机和管理程序相比,Linux容器在网络、磁盘和内存管理、启动和编译速度以及总体处理性能方面表现出极大的优势。在这项研究中,我们质疑在Linux容器中运行服务是否比直接在主机操作系统上运行服务更安全。我们使用Docker v1.10进行了一系列实验,以评估在Docker容器内运行服务的主机与在本文所代表的基础操作系统(如Debian Jessie)上运行相同服务的主机的攻击面。我们的漏洞评估表明,使用Docker容器会增加给定主机的攻击面,而不是相反。
