script security

In today's interconnected world, maintaining data security and containment within controlled environments is critical. Linux users can achieve an added layer of security using a sandboxing tool called Firejail. This blog article will explore how Firejail can help in restricting filesystem access for scripts and provide examples to demonstrate this practical application. Q1: What is Firejail? A1: Firejail is a sandboxing program that uses Linux namespaces and seccomp-bpf in order to isolate a program's running environment, effectively limiting what parts of the host system the process can see and interact with. It's particularly useful for running potentially unsafe or untrusted programs without risking the rest of the host system.
