## What is Bane?

Bane is a custom AppArmor profile generator designed specifically for Docker containers. The tool automates the creation of AppArmor security profiles, which provide mandatory access control for applications running in containers.

Key features include:
- Automated generation of AppArmor profiles for Docker containers
- File globbing support for flexible path matching in security policies
- Direct integration with Docker containerization platform
- Simplified profile creation process that reduces manual configuration overhead
- Custom profile generation tailored to specific container requirements

The tool addresses the complexity of manually creating AppArmor profiles by providing an automated approach to generate security policies. It helps containerized applications run with appropriate access controls while maintaining the principle of least privilege through AppArmor's mandatory access control framework.
