Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Process confinement is a key requirement for workloads in the cloud and in other contexts. Existing process confinement mechanisms on Linux, however, are complex and inflexible because they are implemented using a combination of primitive abstractions (e.g., namespaces, cgroups) and complex security mechanisms (e.g., SELinux, AppArmor) that were designed for purposes beyond basic process confinement. We argue that simple, efficient, and flexible confinement can be better implemented today using eBPF, an emerging technology for safely extending the Linux kernel. We present a proof-of-concept confinement application, bpfbox, that uses less than 2000 lines of kernelspace code and allows for confinement at the userspace function, system call, LSM hook, and kernelspace function boundaries---something that no existing process confinement mechanism can do. Further, it does so using a policy language simple enough to use for ad-hoc confinement purposes. This paper presents the motivation, design, implementation, and benchmarks of bpfbox, including a sample web server confinement policy.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
