  2. FreeBSD jail - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freebsd_jail

    With the introduction of VNET(virtual network stack), the jails are free to modify their Network Configuration (including interfaces, IP addresses, etc.), provided the vnet is enabled for the jail. Mounting and unmounting filesystems is prohibited. Jails cannot access files above their root directory (i.e. a jail is chroot'ed).

  3. chroot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot

    chroot is an operation on Unix and Unix-like operating systems that changes the apparent root directory for the current running process and its children. A program that is run in such a modified environment cannot name (and therefore normally cannot access) files outside the designated directory tree.

  4. sysctl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sysctl

    In BSD, these parameters are generally objects in a management information base (MIB) that describe tunable limits such as the size of a shared memory segment, the number of threads the operating system will use as an NFS client, or the maximum number of processes on the system; or describe, enable or disable behaviors such as IP forwarding, security restrictions on the superuser (the ...

    The LFS-Bootscripts package contains a set of scripts to start/stop the LFS system at bootup/shutdown. The configuration files and procedures needed to customize the boot process are described in the following sections. Creative Commons licenses and MIT License: Libcap An alternative to the superuser model of privilege under Linux. Libffi

  6. Restricted shell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restricted_shell

    The restricted shell is a Unix shell that restricts some of the capabilities available to an interactive user session, or to a shell script, running within it.It is intended to provide an additional layer of security, but is insufficient to allow execution of entirely untrusted software.

  7. Booting process of Linux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booting_process_of_Linux

    For example in a system with an i.MX7D processor and a bootable device which stores the OS (including U-Boot), the on-chip boot ROM sets up the DDR memory controller at first which allows the boot ROM's program to obtain the SoC configuration data from the external bootloader on the bootable device.

  8. Plan 9 from Bell Labs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_9_from_Bell_Labs

    Namespaces may be used to create an isolated environment similar to chroot, but in a more secure way. [ 43 ] Plan 9's union directory architecture inspired 4.4BSD and Linux union file system implementations, [ 45 ] although the developers of the BSD union mounting facility found the non-recursive merging of directories in Plan 9 "too ...

  9. BIOS interrupt call - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS_interrupt_call

    BIOS interrupt calls perform hardware control or I/O functions requested by a program, return system information to the program, or do both. A key element of the purpose of BIOS calls is abstraction - the BIOS calls perform generally defined functions, and the specific details of how those functions are executed on the particular hardware of the system are encapsulated in the BIOS and hidden ...
