Searching for containers (and security)

In this section, you're mostly going to need access to a browser of some sort, though in a pinch, you might get away with calling up a friend and asking them to do an internet search for you (if you're a really good friend and they have literally nothing better to do).

We're also going to use our VM a bit to practice what we discover.

We're going to search for containers on Docker Hub, and we're going to touch upon the security implications of downloading and using public images.

This section is not designed to scare you, in the same way you're not supposed to be scared to run any piece of free (as in open source) software that you find – it's about doing due diligence.
