Redox is a POSIX-compliant, microkernel-based operating system written entirely in Rust. By utilizing a memory-safe language for the kernel and all system components, the project eliminates common vulnerabilities such as buffer overflows and use-after-free errors. Its architecture relies on a minimal kernel that manages only essential hardware and process isolation, delegating all other system services to unprivileged user-space processes. The system distinguishes itself through a modular design where hardware drivers and system services run as independent user-space daemons, allowing them to
This project is a secure container runtime that provides strong isolation for application workloads by implementing a userspace kernel. By intercepting system calls and executing them within a memory-safe, restricted environment, it minimizes the attack surface exposed to the host kernel. It functions as a drop-in engine for standard container orchestration platforms, ensuring compatibility with industry-standard runtime specifications while maintaining a hardened execution boundary. The runtime distinguishes itself through its ability to virtualize core system resources, including an indepen
Sandboxie is an operating system-level virtualization tool designed to run Windows applications in isolated, secure environments. By intercepting system calls and redirecting file system and registry modifications to a separate, discardable storage area, it prevents untrusted software from making permanent changes to the host system. This containment ensures that browser history, temporary files, and potential malware remain trapped within the sandbox, protecting the integrity and privacy of the underlying host. The software distinguishes itself through granular control over the isolation env
LXC is an OS-level virtualization framework and Linux container manager used to run multiple isolated Linux systems on a single host. It functions as a kernel namespace orchestrator and unprivileged container runtime, allowing for the creation and management of system containers without the overhead of a hypervisor. The project provides unprivileged container execution by mapping container root users to unprivileged host users to prevent host system access. It ensures security through system call filtering and root user isolation, enabling containers to run without requiring host root privile
This project is an OS-level process sandbox and cross-platform security wrapper for Linux and macOS. It is designed to isolate arbitrary processes from the host machine by restricting filesystem and network access without the use of full containerization.
The main features of anthropic-experimental/sandbox-runtime are: Process Isolation, Filesystem Access Filtering, Filesystem Access Controls, System Call Interceptors, System-Call Interception, Filesystem Permissions, Allowlist-Based Access Controls, System-Call Access Controllers.
