Description

Firejail is a security sandbox that utilizes Linux namespaces, seccomp-bpf, and Linux capabilities to create a sandbox environment for applications. It is designed to protect users from unwanted access by isolating them from the rest of the system. Firejail can be used to secure applications like web browsers, email clients, download managers, and other applications that are vulnerable to malicious access. Firejail provides a virtual environment for applications to run in, isolating them from other processes and system calls. This means that any malicious activity taking place in the sandbox is isolated from the rest of the system, making it much harder for malicious actors to access system resources or data. Firejail also provides users with the ability to customize the sandbox environment, allowing them to control the level of security and privacy they need. Firejail is a great way to secure applications and keep your data safe.
