Docker images are built by layers, yet the current implementation has major inefficiencies that makes rebuilding of an image unnecessarily slow when changes in bottom layers are required. In this paper, we propose a code injection method that overcomes these efficiencies by targeting only the changed layer and then bypassing Docker's layer checksum process.
