nsjail's Introduction

WHAT IS IT?

NsJail is a process isolation tool for Linux. It makes use of the the namespacing, resource control, and seccomp-bpf syscall filter subsystems of the Linux kernel.

It can help, among others, with:

  • Securing networking services (e.g. web, time, DNS), by isolating them from the rest of the OS
  • Hosting computer security challenges (so-called CTFs)
  • Containing invasive syscall-level OS fuzzers

This is NOT an official Google product.

WHAT KIND OF ISOLATION DOES THIS TOOL PROVIDE?

  1. Linux namespaces: UTS (hostname), MOUNT (chroot), PID (separate PID tree), IPC, NET (separate networking context), USER
  2. FS constraints: chroot(), pivot_root(), RO-remounting
  3. Resource limits (wall-time/CPU time limits, VM/mem address space limits, etc.)
  4. Programmable seccomp-bpf syscall filters
  5. Cloned and separated Ethernet interfaces

WHAT KIND OF USE-CASES ARE SUPPORTED?

Isolation of network services (inetd-style)

  • Server:
 $ ./nsjail -Ml --port 9000 --chroot /chroot/ --user 99999 --group 99999 -- /bin/sh -i
  • Client:
 $ nc 127.0.0.1 9000
 / $ ifconfig
 / $ ifconfig -a
 lo    Link encap:Local Loopback
       LOOPBACK  MTU:65536  Metric:1
       RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
       TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
       RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
 / $ ps wuax
 PID   USER     COMMAND
 1 99999    /bin/sh -i
 3 99999    {busybox} ps wuax
 / $

Isolation, with access to a private, cloned interface (requires euid==0)

$ sudo ./nsjail --user 9999 --group 9999 --iface eth0 --chroot /chroot/ -Mo --iface_vs_ip 192.168.0.44 --iface_vs_nm 255.255.255.0 --iface_vs_gw 192.168.0.1 -- /bin/sh -i

Isolation of local processes (and re-running them)

 $ ./nsjail -Mr --chroot /chroot/ --user 99999 --group 99999 -- /bin/sh -i
