Description:
boxrun creates isolated execution environments, i.e. a sandbox, using FreeBSD's native security primitives: jails for filesystem and network isolation, nullfs mounts for selective directory exposure, RCTL for resource accounting and control, and procctl for process security features. It provides fine-grained control over filesystem visibility, network access, resource limits, and security hardening. All security features are enabled by default (ASLR, W^X, no-new-privs, ptrace denied, securelevel 3). Optional NAT networking with PF integration allows isolated sandboxes to have outbound connectivity and port forwarding.
