Hakoniwa

Process isolation for Linux using namespaces, resource limits and seccomp. It works by creating a new, completely empty, mount namespace where the root is on a tmpfs that is invisible from the host, and will be automatically cleaned up when the last process exits. You can then use a policy configuration file or commandline options to construct the root filesystem and process environment and command to run in the namespace.

Installation

Cargo

  • Install libseccomp by following this guide.
  • Install the rust toolchain in order to have cargo installed by following this guide.
  • Run cargo install hakoniwa-cli.

Usage

CLI

When use commandline, hakoniwa-run will load a default policy configuration named KISS-policy.toml to ensure a minimal mount namespace created, use --policy-file to use your custom version.

$ hakoniwa run --verbose -- /bin/bash

Rust Library

The code below is almost eq to hakoniwa run --policy-file KISS-policy.toml -- /bin/bash:

use hakoniwa::{Error, Sandbox, SandboxPolicy, Stdio};

fn main() -> Result<(), Error> {
    let policy = SandboxPolicy::from_str(
        r#"
mounts = [
  { source = "/bin"        , target = "/bin"         },

  { source = "/lib64"      , target = "/lib64"       },
  { source = "/usr"        , target = "/usr"         },
  { source = "/dev/null"   , target = "/dev/null"     , rw = true },

    let mut sandbox = Sandbox::new();

    let prog = std::env::var("SHELL").unwrap_or_else(|_| String::from("/bin/sh"));
