WinJail
-
Version
1.0
WinJail is paravirtualization and security
related software. It provides separate disk sandboxes
for any kind of applications like Unix chroot / jail
commands.
WinJail provides transparent redirections of file
operations from common places like Windows folders to
private copies of them. Itl also enables unique
possibility to separate programs by users who launched
it, and every user is able to use his private sandbox
even for the same application.
WinJail can be widely used for different purposes as:
- Background for Anti-SpyWare, Firewall and so on. In
this way all possibly unsafe processes like ICQ, MSN,
MS Outlook and Internet Explorer are put in jail so
that in case of destructive behavior no harm is done
to the system. All files and folders that can be used
by the process are copied from the real system and
used by the process privately and transparently.
-To safely test new software. Thanks to the limited
scope of a jail every vulnerability or either bug in
software will not jeopardize system integrity.
-Important piece of servers security. By moving
internet-aware web servers, ftp servers, application
servers, database servers to jail, you decrease
possible risk of attacks, damage, and increase system
stability in general.
-For ease of administration reasons.When a computer is
used by many users it is needed to establish a clean
cut between their services, mainly for security. For
example, it can be used in Internet Cafe. WinJail
allows each user work in his or her own environment
safely and easily backup and delete all users files
after his/her work is finished.
