Firejail is a containment tool for Linux applications that allows applications to be isolated and run in a secure environment. This limits security risks and protects the user from potential attacks.
Firejail uses containment techniques such as Linux namespaces, mandatory access control (MAC), and Linux capabilities to limit application privileges and restrict access to sensitive system resources such as files and network ports.
Using Firejail is easy. Simply prefix the application's run command with "firejail" to run it in a confined environment. For example, "firejail firefox" would launch the Firefox browser in a confined environment.
In addition to protecting applications from attacks, Firejail can also protect users from malicious websites and dangerous scripts by disabling plugins such as Flash and Java by default.
Firejail is open-source and regularly updated to support the latest Linux security features. It is also available in the repositories of major Linux distributions, making it easy to install and use for Linux users.
In summary, if you're looking to strengthen the security of your Linux system, Firejail is a great tool to consider. It uses advanced containment techniques to protect applications from attack, is easy to use and is regularly updated to support the latest Linux security features.
