Day 347: Privileged processes bypass all kernel permission checks

Hier ein ganz toller Link, den ich gerade brauche, um Docker-Instanzen zu zähmen. Nerds: merken, alle anderen: weitergehen

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/capabilities.7.html

For the purpose of performing permission checks, traditional UNIX implementations distinguish two categories of processes: privileged processes (whose effective user ID is 0, referred to as superuser or root), and unprivileged processes (whose effective UID is nonzero).
Privileged processes bypass all kernel permission checks, while
unprivileged processes are subject to full permission checking based on the process’s credentials (usually: effective UID, effective GID, and supplementary group list).

Starting with kernel 2.2, Linux divides the privileges traditionally associated with superuser into distinct units, known as capabilities, which can be independently enabled and disabled. Capabilities are a per-thread attribute.
