### WHAT IS IT? NsJail is a Linux isolation tool making use of the namespacing and seccomp-bpf subsystems of the Linux kernel. ### WHAT KIND OF ISOLATION DOES IT PROVIDE? 1. Linux namespaces: UTS, MOUNT, PID, IPC, NET, USER (optional) 2. FS chroot-ing (chroot()/pivot_root()) 3. Seccomp-bpf syscall filters ### WHAT USE-CASES DOES IT COVER? 1. Isolating networking daemons (inetd-style) * Server: $ ./nsjail -Ml --port 9000 --chroot /chroot/ --user 99999 --group 99999 -- /bin/sh -i * Client: $ nc 127.0.0.1 9000 / $ ifconfig / $ ifconfig -a lo Link encap:Local Loopback LOOPBACK MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) 2. Isolating local processes (run it once, and exit) $ ./nsjail -Mo --chroot /chroot/ --user 99999 --group 99999 -- /bin/sh -i / $ ifconfig -a lo Link encap:Local Loopback LOOPBACK MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) / $ id uid=99999 gid=99999 / $exit $ 3. Isolating local processes (and re-running them) $ ./nsjail -Mr --chroot /chroot/ --user 99999 --group 99999 -- /bin/sh -i BusyBox v1.21.1 (Ubuntu 1:1.21.0-1ubuntu1) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. / $ exit BusyBox v1.21.1 (Ubuntu 1:1.21.0-1ubuntu1) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. / $ ### MORE INFO? Type: './nsjail --help' - cmd-line switches are well-documented
