**lockc** is open source sofware for providing MAC (Mandatory Access Control)

type of security audit for container workloads.

The main reason why **lockc** exists is that **containers do not contain**.

Containers are not as secure and isolated as VMs. By default, they expose

a lot of information about host OS and provide ways to "break out" from the

container. **lockc** aims to provide more isolation to containers and make them

more secure.

The [Containers do not contain](https://lockc-project.github.io/book/containers-do-not-contain.html)

documentation section explains what we mean by that phrase and what kind of

behavior we want to restrict with **lockc**.

The main technology behind lockc is [eBPF](https://ebpf.io/) - to be more

precise, its ability to attach to [LSM hooks](https://docs.kernel.org/bpf/prog_lsm.html)

Please note that currently lockc is an experimental project, not meant for

production environment and without any official binaries or packages to use -

currently the only way to use it is building from sources.

See [the full documentation here](https://lockc-project.github.io/).

And [the code documentation here](https://docs.rs/lockc/).
