| contents | There are many sandboxing mechanisms provided by operating systems to limit what resources applications can access, however, sometimes the use of these mechanisms requires developers to refactor their code to fit the sandboxing model. In this work, we investigate what makes existing sandboxing mechanisms challenging to apply to certain types of applications, and propose Threadbox, a sandboxing mechanism that enables having modular and independent sandboxes, and can be applied to threads and sandbox specific functions. We present case studies to illustrate the applicability of the idea and discuss its limitations. |
