    We can configure seccomp by the libseccomp (https://github.com/seccomp/libseccomp), the prctl(https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/prctl.2.html) system call and/or the seccomp syscall (https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/seccomp.2.html) and/or other CLI tools (like https://github.com/david942j/seccomp-tools) .
  • Show HN: Porting OpenBSD Pledge() to Linux

    Very nice! I'm a fan of OpenBSD and pledge(). I've had some success on Linux with libseccomp[0] which means you don't have to deal with BPF directly, but pledge() is obviously much much easier.

    Yeah the idea of wrangling raw BPF is a bit daunting. Just FYI, libseccomp (https://github.com/seccomp/libseccomp) exists to abstract away all the BPF stuff. It even comes prepackaged by the major distros (ex https://packages.debian.org/sid/libseccomp2) so you don't even have to compile it yourself.
