+# Contributing to Docker Bench for Security
+
+Want to hack on Docker Bench? Awesome! Here are instructions to get you
+started.
+
+The Docker Bench for Security is a part of the [Docker](https://www.docker.com) project, and follows
+the same rules and principles. If you're already familiar with the way
+Docker does things, you'll feel right at home.
+
+Otherwise, go read
+[Docker's contributions guidelines](https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md).
+
+### Development Environment Setup
+
+The only thing you need to hack on Docker Bench for Security is a POSIX 2004 compliant shell. We try to keep the project compliant for maximum portability
+
+#### Start hacking
+
+You can build the container that wraps the docker-bench for security:
+```sh
+✗ git clone git@github.com:docker/docker-bench-security.git
+✗ docker build -t diogomonica/docker-bench-security .
+```
+
+Or you can simply run the shell script locally:
+
+```sh
+✗ sh docker-bench-security.sh
+```
+
+The Docker Bench has the main script called `docker-bench-security.sh`. This is the main script that checks for all the dependencies, deals with command line arguments and loads all the tests.
+
+The tests are split in 6 different files:
+
+```sh
+✗  docker-bench-security git:(master) ✗ tree tests
+tests
+├── 1_host_configuration.sh
+├── 2_docker_daemon_configuration.sh
+├── 3_docker_daemon_configuration_files.sh
+├── 4_container_images.sh
+├── 5_container_runtime.sh
+└── 6_docker_security_operations.sh
+```
+
+To modify the Docker Bench for Security you should first clone the repository, make your changes, and then sign off on your commits. After that feel free to send us a pull-request with the changes.
+
+While this tool is inspired in the CIS Docker 1.6 Benchmark, feel free to add new tests. We will try to turn dockerbench.com into a list of good community benchmarks for both security and performance, and we would love community contributions.
