Systrace for Mac OS X

Posted by pudge on from the monkeying-around dept.

Niels Provos writes in that he has added Mac OS X support for Systrace, a sandboxing/application confinement tool that can be used to increase application and service security. It installs a new kernel to support /dev/systrace and the Systrace application, and a Cocoa frontend.

  1. Proprietary by mnmn · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I dont think a big momentum will develop in the opensource community to develop for MacOSX. Its just too proprietary. Most developers aiming for MacOSX will use portable API like BSD sockets and QT GUI. The only testing done on MacOSX will be done by people actualy owning iMacs. Would be nice if darwin was released in a more open way to court more developers here. Hear that apple? Give us MacOSX sources and we'll give you the world :)

    Profit!
