Sandbox 沙盒

In computer security, a sandbox is a security mechanism for separating running programs, usually in an effort to mitigate system failures or software vulnerabilities from spreading.

目的：在程序超出预期时，降低破坏范围。

A sandbox typically provides a tightly controlled set of resources for guest programs to run in, such as scratch space on disk and memory. Network access, the ability to inspect the host system or read from input devices are usually disallowed or heavily restricted.

手段：限制它的运行和访问范围。

让程序在受限的环境中运行：

A sandbox is implemented by executing the software in a restricted operating system environment, thus controlling the resources (for example, file descriptors, memory, file system space, etc.) that a process may use.[3]

Examples of sandbox implementations include the following:

A jail: network-access restrictions, and a restricted filesystem namespace. Jails are most commonly used in virtual hosting.[4]

Rule-based execution gives users full control over what processes are started, spawned (by other applications), or allowed to inject code into other applications and have access to the net, by having the system assign access levels for users or programs according to a set of determined rules.[5] It also can control file/registry security (what programs can read and write to the file system/registry). In such an environment, viruses and trojans have fewer opportunities of infecting a computer. The SELinux and Apparmor security frameworks are two such implementations for Linux.

Virtual machines emulate a complete host computer, on which a conventional operating system may boot and run as on actual hardware. The guest operating system runs sandboxed in the sense that it does not function natively on the host and can only access host resources through the emulator.

Sandboxing on native hosts: Security researchers rely heavily on sandboxing technologies to analyse malware behaviour. By creating an environment that mimics or replicates the targeted desktops, researchers can evaluate how malware infects and compromises a target host. Numerous malware analysis services are based on the sandboxing technology.[6]

Capability systems can be thought of as a fine-grained sandboxing mechanism, in which programs are given opaque tokens when spawned and have the ability to do specific things based on what tokens they hold. Capability-based implementations can work at various levels, from kernel to user-space. An example of capability-based user-level sandboxing involves HTML rendering in a Web browser.

Secure Computing Mode (seccomp) is a sandbox built in the Linux kernel. When activated, seccomp only allows the <code>write()</code>, <code>read()</code>, <code>exit()</code>, and <code>sigreturn()</code> system calls.

HTML5 has a "sandbox" attribute for use with iframes.[7]

Java virtual machines include a sandbox to restrict the actions of untrusted code, such as a Java applet.

The .NET Common Language Runtime provides Code Access Security to enforce restrictions on untrusted code.

Software Fault Isolation (SFI),[8] allows running untrusted native code by sandboxing all store, read and jump assembly instructions to isolated segments of memory.

Some of the use cases for sandboxes include the following:

Online judge systems to test programs in programming contests.

New-generation pastebins allowing users to execute pasted code snippets on the pastebin's server.

------------------越是喧嚣的世界，越需要宁静的思考------------------

合抱之木，生于毫末；九层之台，起于垒土；千里之行，始于足下。

积土成山，风雨兴焉；积水成渊，蛟龙生焉；积善成德，而神明自得，圣心备焉。故不积跬步，无以至千里；不积小流，无以成江海。骐骥一跃，不能十步；驽马十驾，功在不舍。锲而舍之，朽木不折；锲而不舍，金石可镂。蚓无爪牙之利，筋骨之强，上食埃土，下饮黄泉，用心一也。蟹六跪而二螯，非蛇鳝之穴无可寄托者，用心躁也。
