Landdown is a new Linux utility that provides simple sandboxing for shell scripts using Landlock security features. It allows developers to explicitly define file and network access rules through a shebang interface, restricting scripts to only permitted operations. This addresses security concerns around unexpected or malicious script behavior while maintaining ease of use.
Background
Shell scripts often require security isolation to prevent unintended system access or malicious behavior. Landlock is a Linux security module that provides application sandboxing capabilities at the filesystem level.
