+This rule monitors for the usage of Docker runtime sockets to escalate privileges on Linux systems. Docker sockets by 
+default are only be writable by the root user and docker group. Attackers that have permissions to write to these 
+sockets may be able to create and run a container that allows them to escalate privileges and gain further access onto 
+the host file system.
