## Knowledge

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions).

What happens when data is corrupted and you try to pull it when trust is enabled? In this section, you go into the sandboxregistry and tamper with some data. Then, you try and pull it.

Leave the trustsandbox shell and container running.

Open a new interactive terminal from your host, and obtain a shell into the sandboxregistry container.

Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```console
   $ docker container exec -it sandboxregistry bash
   root@65084fc6f047:/#
```

List the layers for the test/trusttest image you pushed

Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```console
    root@65084fc6f047:/# ls -l /var/lib/registry/docker/registry/v2/repositories/test/trusttest/_layers/sha256
    total 12
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 10 17:26 a3ed95caeb02ffe68cdd9fd84406680ae93d633cb16422d00e8a7c22955b46d4
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 10 17:26 aac0c133338db2b18ff054943cee3267fe50c75cdee969aed88b1992539ed042
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 10 17:26 cc7629d1331a7362b5e5126beb5bf15ca0bf67eb41eab994c719a45de53255cd
```

Change into the registry storage for one of those layers (this is in a different directory)

Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```console
   root@65084fc6f047:/# cd /var/lib/registry/docker/registry/v2/blobs/sha256/aa/aac0c133338db2b18ff054943cee3267fe50c75cdee969aed88b1992539ed042
```

Add malicious data to one of the trusttest layers

Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```console
   root@65084fc6f047:/# echo "Malicious data" &gt; data
```

Go back to your trustsandbox terminal.

List the trusttest image.

Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```console
   / # docker image ls | grep trusttest
   REPOSITORY                            TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE
   docker/trusttest                      latest              cc7629d1331a        11 months ago       5.025 MB
   sandboxregistry:5000/test/trusttest   latest              cc7629d1331a        11 months ago       5.025 MB
   sandboxregistry:5000/test/trusttest   &lt;none&gt;              cc7629d1331a        11 months ago       5.025 MB
```

Remove the trusttest:latest image from your local cache. …
