Subject: Anyone working on packaging Firejail?
Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2018 06:50:44 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0e147b49-4a5a-c269-5973-8709e6c37ba6@riseup.net> (raw)

https://firejail.wordpress.com/

Firejail is a SUID program that reduces the risk of security breaches by 
restricting the running environment of untrusted applications using 
Linux namespaces and seccomp-bpf. It allows a process and all its 
descendants to have their own private view of the globally shared kernel 
resources, such as the network stack, process table, mount table.

Written in C with virtually no dependencies, the software runs on any 
Linux computer with a 3.x kernel version or newer. The sandbox is 
lightweight, the overhead is low. There are no complicated configuration 
files to edit, no socket connections open, no daemons running in the 
background. All security features are implemented directly in Linux 
kernel and available on any Linux computer. The program is released 
under GPL v2 license.

Firejail can sandbox any type of processes: servers, graphical 
applications, and even user login sessions. The software includes 
security profiles for a large number of Linux programs: Mozilla Firefox, 
Chromium, VLC, Transmission etc. To start the sandbox, prefix your 
command with “firejail”:

     $ firejail firefox                       # starting Mozilla Firefox
     $ firejail transmission-gtk              # starting Transmission 
BitTorrent
     $ firejail vlc                           # starting VideoLAN Client
     $ sudo firejail /etc/init.d/nginx start  # starting nginx web server
