Plash - a Linux Sandbox
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
DETAILS
Plash is a sandbox for running GNU/Linux programs with minimum privileges.
It is suitable for running both command line and GUI programs. It can
dynamically grant Gtk-based GUI applications access rights to individual
files that you want to open or edit. This happens transparently through
the Open/Save file chooser dialog box, by replacing GtkFileChooserDialog.
Plash virtualizes the file namespace and provides per-process/per-sandbox
namespaces. It can grant processes read-only or read-write access to
specific files and directories, mapped at any point in the filesystem
namespace. It does not require modifications to the Linux kernel.
