qssb.h (quite simple sandbox) # qssb.h (quite simple sandbox)
============================= `qssb.h` is a simple header-only library that provides an interface to sandbox processes on Linux. Using Seccomp and Linux Namespaces for that purpose requires some knowledge of annoying details which this library aims to abstract away as much as possible, when reasonable. Hence, the goal is to provide a convenient way for processes to restrict themselves in order to mitigate the effect of exploits. Currently, it utilizes technologies like Seccomp, Namespaces and Landlock to this end.
