Qubes-like isolation using FreeBSD tools |
|
Many people are fans of the Qubes OS project, a system which strives to improve security by strictly isolating various processes and data. The FreeBSD operating system also supplies a lot of tools to isolate processes, though they require more manual work. One project, called quBSD aims to improve the situation by automating a lot of the steps required to make FreeBSD isolate its processes and components the way Qubes OS does. The quBSD project accomplishes this using shell scripts, the bhyve virtual machine technology and FreeBSD jails. "quBSD is wrapper for a jails/bhyve implementation of a Qubes-inspired containerization schema. Written in shell, based on ZFS, and uses the underlying FreeBSD tools. The goal is to run all workloads inside of jails, and make host merely a coordinator. quBSD comes with an installer script, which creates and configures a series of jails, and even a couple VMs for PCI device isolation. There are a set of scripts which facilitate management of the entire setup." |
