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
