alyptik/lind repository overview

⁠Lind

Lind is a single process sandbox that provides an option to safely execute programs and control its resource (network, file, memory, cpu, etc.) usage at the process granularity. Lind executes applications in an isolated environment from the rest of the applications in the system, and thus limits the damage of bugs or security flaws in the application.

⁠NOTE: This is a WIP and some features are not yet completely implemented.

Base and pre-built docker images for the SDK toolchain can be fetched from the Docker Hub Lind repository at alyptik/lind⁠ with docker pull alyptik/lind:base and docker pull alyptik/lind:prebuiltsdk respectively.

⁠Dependencies

• python 2
• virtualenv2 and virtualenvwrapper - install using pip2 install --user virtualenvwrapper virtualenv2
• gcc
• clang

The following dependencies can be compiled from the source distributions found in docker/pkgs.tar.xz

• make 3.82
• texinfo 4.13

⁠Usage

Clone this repository to /usr/lind_project install the python dependencies using pip2 install --user virtualenvwrapper virtualenv, and finally run make or ./mklind -e to start the build script using the default environment.

./mklind [-ehv] [targets]

⁠Options

    -e    Use default environment.
    -h    Display this help.
    -v    Display script version.

⁠Custom Environment

The default environment of ./mklind -e consists of

export LIND_BASE="/usr/lind_project"
export LIND_SRC="/usr/lind_project/lind"
export LIND_MONITOR="/usr/lind_project/lind/reference_monitor"
export NACL_SDK_ROOT="/usr/lind_project/lind/repy/sdk"
export REPY_PATH="/usr/lind_project/lind/repy"
export PYTHON="python2"
export PNACLPYTHON="python2"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/lib/glibc"

as the default set of sane paths for the build.

You can also export these environment variables yourself and use ./mklind without the -e flag to use custom paths for the build.

⁠n.b. LD_LIBRARY_PATH needs to be set to /lib/glibc unless you are modifying the target installation directory for Repy's modified glibc toolchain.
