The developers behind Illarion, the cute indie F2P sandbox MMO we first covered last spring, are ready for you to serenade everyone in the game world, albeit with your clunky and not-terribly-accurate rendition of “Freebird.” One player’s serenade is another player’s audio torment. #Sandbox gamesense.co/game/sandbox/news

When you read text written for the general public, it often says that apps from the #MicrosoftStore run "in a #sandbox". But is this just simplified terminology and the actual technical concepts have different names?

Because, I don't see any column in Task Manager or the much more nerdy #ProcessExplorer that would say "sandbox".

(Compare to macOS where Activity Monitor has a column in the CPU view that simply says "Sandbox".)

And was it so that Microsoft now has backtracked on this sandboxing anyway, and more and more apps in the store just run like any old Win32 executable, without any restrictions?

Sandbox Your Program Using FreeBSD's Capsicum By Jake Freeland

youtu.be/Ne4l5U_ETAw

With security vulnerabilities rapidly rising each year, program security is more important than ever. One solution to keeping your program from being the victim of the next big CVE is FreeBSD's Capsicum.

Originally developed at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, Capsicum is a lightweight capability and sandbox framework built into the FreeBSD base system. It is designed around the principle of least privilege - where programs only have access to resources that are required for operation.

This talk will follow my blog post, which outlines the process of Capsicumization, or sandboxing your program using Capsicum. I will cover capability violation detection, restructuring existing programs for Capsicum, and filesystem/networking access inside of the capability sandbox.

Recent Capsicumization efforts in the FreeBSD base system and the future of Capsicum will also be discussed.
