Syd: A Robust Rust-Based Linux Sandbox Kernel
2025-02-12
Syd is a GPL-3 licensed, rock-solid application kernel written in Rust for sandboxing applications on Linux systems (5.19 and above). Evolving from a tool for detecting package build errors in Exherbo Linux, Syd now provides a robust security boundary. Leveraging modern Linux APIs, it eliminates TOCTTOU vulnerabilities. Unlike other sandboxing tools, Syd operates without extra privileges, offering a simple interface to complex sandboxing mechanisms. Features include path sandboxing, execution control, network sandboxing, and advanced features like lock and proxy sandboxing. It's designed for strong application isolation and security.
