.SH DESCRIPTION
Firejail is a SUID sandbox program that reduces the risk of security breaches by
restricting the running environment of untrusted applications using Linux
namespaces, seccomp-bpf and Linux capabilities.
It allows a process and all its descendants to have their own private view of the
globally shared kernel resources, such as the network stack, process table, mount table.
Firejail can work in a SELinux or AppArmor environment,
and it is integrated with Linux Control Groups.
.PP
Written in C with virtually no dependencies, the software runs on any Linux computer with a 3.x kernel version
or newer.
It can sandbox any type of processes: servers, graphical applications, and even user login sessions.
.PP
Firejail allows the user to manage application security using security profiles.
Each profile defines a set of permissions for a specific application or group
of applications. The software includes security profiles for a number of more common
Linux programs, such as Mozilla Firefox, Chromium, VLC, Transmission etc.

.SH USAGE
Without any options, the sandbox consists of a filesystem build in a new mount namespace,
and new PID and UTS namespaces. IPC, network and user namespaces can be added using the
command line options. The default Firejail filesystem is based on the host filesystem with the main
system directories mounted read-only. These directories are /etc, /var, /usr, /bin, /sbin, /lib, /lib32,
/libx32 and /lib64. Only /home and /tmp are writable.
.PP
As it starts up, Firejail tries to find a security profile based on the name of the application.
If an appropriate profile is not found, Firejail will use a default profile.
The default profile is quite restrictive. In case the application doesn't work, use --noprofile option
to disable it. For more information, please see \fBSECURITY PROFILES\fR section below.
.PP
If a program argument is not specified, Firejail starts /bin/bash shell.
Examples:
.PP
$ firejail [OPTIONS]                # starting a /bin/bash shell
.PP
$ firejail [OPTIONS] firefox        # starting Mozilla Firefox
.PP
# sudo firejail [OPTIONS] /etc/init.d/nginx start

.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\fB\-\-
Signal the end of options and disables further option processing.
.TP
\fB\-\-allow-debuggers
Allow tools such as strace and gdb inside the sandbox by whitelisting
system calls ptrace and process_vm_readv. This option is only
available when running on Linux kernels 4.8 or newer - a kernel bug in
ptrace system call allows a full bypass of the seccomp filter.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail  --allow-debuggers --profile=/etc/firejail/firefox.profile strace -f firefox
.TP
\fB\-\-allusers
All directories under /home are visible inside the sandbox. By default, only current user home directory is visible.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail --allusers
.TP
\fB\-\-apparmor
Enable AppArmor confinement. For more information, please see \fBAPPARMOR\fR section below.
.TP
\fB\-\-appimage
Sandbox an AppImage (https://appimage.org/) application.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail --appimage krita-3.0-x86_64.appimage
.br
$ firejail --appimage --private krita-3.0-x86_64.appimage
.br
$ firejail --appimage --net=none --x11 krita-3.0-x86_64.appimage

.TP
\fB\-\-apparmor.print=name|pid
Print the AppArmor confinement status for the sandbox identified by name or by PID.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-apparmor.print=browser
.br
5074:netblue:/usr/bin/firejail /usr/bin/firefox-esr
.br
  AppArmor: firejail-default enforce

.TP
\fB\-\-audit
Audit the sandbox, see \fBAUDIT\fR section for more details.
.TP
\fB\-\-audit=test-program
Audit the sandbox, see \fBAUDIT\fR section for more details.
.TP
\fB\-\-bandwidth=name|pid
Set bandwidth limits for the sandbox identified by name or PID, see \fBTRAFFIC SHAPING\fR section for more details.
.TP
\fB\-\-bind=filename1,filename2
Mount-bind filename1 on top of filename2. This option is only available when running as root.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
# firejail \-\-bind=/config/etc/passwd,/etc/passwd
.TP
\fB\-\-blacklist=dirname_or_filename
Blacklist directory or file. File globbing is supported, see \fBFILE GLOBBING\fR section for more details.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-blacklist=/sbin \-\-blacklist=/usr/sbin
.br
$ firejail \-\-blacklist=~/.mozilla
.br
$ firejail "\-\-blacklist=/home/username/My Virtual Machines"
.br
$ firejail \-\-blacklist=/home/username/My\\ Virtual\\ Machines
.TP
\fB\-\-build
The command builds a whitelisted profile. The profile is printed on the screen. If /usr/bin/strace is installed on the system, it also
builds a whitelisted seccomp profile. The program is run in a very relaxed sandbox,
with only --caps.drop=all and --nonewprivs. Programs that raise user privileges are not supported
in order to allow strace to run. Chromium and Chromium-based browsers will not work.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail --build=profile-file vlc ~/Videos/test.mp4
.TP
\fB\-\-build=profile-file
The command builds a whitelisted profile, and saves it in profile-file. If /usr/bin/strace is installed on the system, it also
builds a whitelisted seccomp profile. The program is run in a very relaxed sandbox,
with only --caps.drop=all and --nonewprivs. Programs that raise user privileges are not supported
in order to allow strace to run. Chromium and Chromium-based browsers will not work.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail --build=vlc.profile vlc ~/Videos/test.mp4
.TP
\fB\-c
Execute command and exit.
.TP
\fB\-\-caps
Linux capabilities is a kernel feature designed to split up the root privilege into a set of distinct privileges.
These privileges can be enabled or disabled independently, thus restricting what a process running
as root can do in the system.

By default root programs run with all capabilities enabled. \-\-caps option disables the following capabilities:
CAP_SYS_MODULE, CAP_SYS_RAWIO,
CAP_SYS_BOOT, CAP_SYS_NICE, CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG, CAP_SYSLOG, CAP_MKNOD, CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
The filter is applied to all processes started in the sandbox.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ sudo firejail \-\-caps /etc/init.d/nginx start

.TP
\fB\-\-caps.drop=all
Drop all capabilities for the processes running in the sandbox. This option is recommended for running GUI programs
or any other program that doesn't require root privileges. It is a must-have option for sandboxing untrusted programs
installed from unofficial sources - such as games, Java programs, etc.

\fB\-\-memory-deny-write-execute
Install a seccomp filter to block attempts to create memory mappings
that are both writable and executable, to change mappings to be
executable, or to create executable shared memory. The filter examines
the arguments of mmap, mmap2, mprotect, pkey_mprotect and shmat system
calls and kills the process if necessary.

.TP
\fB\-\-net=bridge_interface
Enable a new network namespace and connect it to this bridge interface.
Unless specified with option \-\-ip and \-\-defaultgw, an IP address and a default gateway will be assigned
automatically to the sandbox. The IP address is verified using ARP before assignment. The address
configured as default gateway is the bridge device IP address. Up to four \-\-net
bridge devices can be defined. Mixing bridge and macvlan devices is allowed.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ sudo brctl addbr br0
.br
$ sudo ifconfig br0 10.10.20.1/24
.br

\fB\-\-net=ethernet_interface
Enable a new network namespace and connect it
to this ethernet interface using the standard Linux macvlan
driver. Unless specified with option \-\-ip and \-\-defaultgw, an
IP address and a default gateway will be assigned automatically
to the sandbox. The IP address is verified using ARP before
assignment. The address configured as default gateway is the
default gateway of the host. Up to four \-\-net devices can
be defined. Mixing bridge and macvlan devices is allowed.
Note: wlan devices are not supported for this option.
.br

.br
Example:

available in the new namespace is a new loopback interface (lo).
Use this option to deny
network access to programs that don't really need network access.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-net=none vlc
.br

.br
Note: \-\-net=none can crash the application on some platforms.
In these cases, it can be replaced with \-\-protocol=unix.

.TP
\fB\-\-netns=name
Run the program in a named, persistent network namespace.  These can
be created and configured using "ip netns".

.TP
\fB\-\-netfilter
Enable a default firewall if a new network namespace is created inside the sandbox.

This is the template version of the previous command. $ARG1, $ARG2, $ARG3 ... in the firewall script
are replaced with arg1, arg2, arg3 ... passed on the command line. Up to 16 arguments are supported.
Example:
.br

.br
$ firejail --net=eth0 --ip=192.168.1.105 \\
.br
--netfilter=/etc/firejail/tcpserver.net,5001 server-program
.br



.TP
\fB\-\-netfilter.print=name|pid
Print the firewall installed in the sandbox specified by name or PID. Example:
.br

.br
$ firejail --name=browser --net=eth0 --netfilter firefox &
.br
$ firejail --netfilter.print=browser

.TP
\fB\-\-netfilter6=filename
Enable the IPv6 firewall specified by filename if a new network namespace is created inside the sandbox.
This option has no effect for sandboxes using the system network namespace.
Please use the regular iptables-save/iptables-restore format for the filter file.

.TP
\fB\-\-netfilter6.print=name|pid
Print the IPv6 firewall installed in the sandbox specified by name or PID. Example:
.br

.br
$ firejail --name=browser --net=eth0 --netfilter firefox &

.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-noexec=/tmp
.br

.br
/etc and /var are noexec by default if the sandbox was started as a regular user. If there are more than one mount operation
on the path of the file or directory, noexec should be applied to the last one. Always check if the change took effect inside the sandbox.

.TP
\fB\-\-nogroups
Disable supplementary groups. Without this option, supplementary groups are enabled for the user starting the
sandbox. For root user supplementary groups are always disabled.

Note: By default all regular user groups are removed with the exception of the current user. This can be changed
using \-\-allusers command option.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ id
.br
uid=1000(netblue) gid=1000(netblue) groups=1000(netblue),24(cdrom),25(floppy),27(sudo),29(audio)

.br
$

.TP
\fB\-\-nonewprivs
Sets the NO_NEW_PRIVS prctl.  This ensures that child processes
cannot acquire new privileges using execve(2);  in particular,
this means that calling a suid binary (or one with file capabilities)
does not result in an increase of privilege. This option
is enabled by default if seccomp filter is activated.

.TP
\fB\-\-nosound
Disable sound system.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-nosound firefox

stdout logging and log rotation. Copy stdout to logfile, and keep the size of the file under 500KB using log
rotation. Five files with prefixes .1 to .5 are used in rotation.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-output=sandboxlog /bin/bash
.br
[...]
.br
$ ls -l sandboxlog*
.br
-rw-r--r-- 1 netblue netblue 333890 Jun  2 07:48 sandboxlog

-rw-r--r-- 1 netblue netblue 511488 Jun  2 07:48 sandboxlog.5

.TP
\fB\-\-output-stderr=logfile
Similar to \-\-output, but stderr is also stored.

.TP
\fB\-\-overlay
Mount a filesystem overlay on top of the current filesystem.  Unlike the regular filesystem container,
the system directories are mounted read-write. All filesystem modifications go into the overlay.
The overlay is stored in $HOME/.firejail/<PID> directory.
.br

.br
OverlayFS support is required in Linux kernel for this option to work.
OverlayFS was officially introduced in Linux kernel version 3.18.
This option is not available on Grsecurity systems.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-overlay firefox

.TP
\fB\-\-overlay-named=name
Mount a filesystem overlay on top of the current filesystem.  Unlike the regular filesystem container,
the system directories are mounted read-write. All filesystem modifications go into the overlay.
The overlay is stored in $HOME/.firejail/<NAME> directory. The created overlay can be reused between multiple
sessions.
.br

.br
OverlayFS support is required in Linux kernel for this option to work.
OverlayFS was officially introduced in Linux kernel version 3.18.
This option is not available on Grsecurity systems.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-overlay-named=jail1 firefox

.TP
\fB\-\-overlay-tmpfs
Mount a filesystem overlay on top of the current filesystem. All filesystem modifications
are discarded when the sandbox is closed.
.br

.br
OverlayFS support is required in Linux kernel for this option to work.
OverlayFS was officially introduced in Linux kernel version 3.18.
This option is not available on Grsecurity systems.
.br

.TP
\fB\-\-private-bin=file,file
Build a new /bin in a temporary filesystem, and copy the programs in the list.
If no listed file is found, /bin directory will be empty.
The same directory is also bind-mounted over /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin and /usr/local/bin.
All modifications are discarded when the sandbox is closed. File globbing is supported,
see \fBFILE GLOBBING\fR section for more details.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-private-bin=bash,sed,ls,cat
.br
Parent pid 20841, child pid 20842
.br
Child process initialized
.br
$ ls /bin
.br
bash  cat  ls  sed

.TP
\fB\-\-private-lib=file,directory
This feature is currently under heavy development. Only amd64 platforms are supported at this moment.
The idea is to build a new /lib in a temporary filesystem,
with only the library files necessary to run the application.
It could be as simple as:
.br

.br
$ firejail --private-lib galculator
.br

.br
but it gets complicated really fast:
.br

.br
$ firejail --private-lib=x86_64-linux-gnu/xed,x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0,libenchant.so.1,librsvg-2.so.2 xed

.br
$ firejail --private-opt=firefox /opt/firefox/firefox

.TP
\fB\-\-private-srv=file,directory
Build a new /srv in a temporary
filesystem, and copy the files and directories in the list.
If no listed file is found, /srv directory will be empty.
All modifications are discarded when the sandbox is closed.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
# firejail --private-srv=www /etc/init.d/apache2 start

.TP
\fB\-\-private-tmp
Mount an empty temporary filesystem on top of /tmp directory whitelisting X11 and PulseAudio sockets.
.br

.br
Example:

.br


.TP
\fB\-\-profile=filename
Load a custom security profile from filename. For filename use an absolute path or a path relative to the current path.
For more information, see \fBSECURITY PROFILES\fR section below.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-profile=myprofile

.TP
\fB\-\-profile.print=name|pid
Print the name of the profile file for the sandbox identified by name or or PID.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-profile.print=browser
.br
/etc/firejail/firefox.profile
.br
.TP
\fB\-\-protocol=protocol,protocol,protocol
Enable protocol filter. The filter is based on seccomp and checks the first argument to socket system call.
Recognized values: unix, inet, inet6, netlink and packet. This option is not supported for i386 architecture.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-protocol=unix,inet,inet6 firefox
.TP
\fB\-\-protocol.print=name|pid
Print the protocol filter for the sandbox identified by name or PID.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-name=mybrowser firefox &
.br
$ firejail \-\-protocol.print=mybrowser
.br
unix,inet,inet6,netlink
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-list
.br
3272:netblue::firejail \-\-private firefox

$ firejail \-\-protocol.print=3272
.br
unix,inet,inet6,netlink
.TP
\fB\-\-put=name|pid src-filename dest-filename
Put a file in sandbox container, see \fBFILE TRANSFER\fR section for more details.
.TP
\fB\-\-quiet
Turn off Firejail's output.
.TP
\fB\-\-read-only=dirname_or_filename
Set directory or file read-only. File globbing is supported, see \fBFILE GLOBBING\fR section for more details.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-read-only=~/.mozilla firefox
.br

.br
A short note about mixing \-\-whitelist and \-\-read-only options. Whitelisted directories
should be made read-only independently. Making a parent directory read-only, will not
make the whitelist read-only. Example:
.br

.br
$ firejail --whitelist=~/work --read-only=~ --read-only=~/work

.TP
\fB\-\-read-write=dirname_or_filename
Set directory or file read-write. Only files or directories belonging to the current user are allowed for
this operation. File globbing is supported, see \fBFILE GLOBBING\fR section for more details.
Example:
.br

.br
$ mkdir ~/test
.br
$ touch ~/test/a
.br
$ firejail --read-only=~/test --read-write=~/test/a


.TP
\fB\-\-rlimit-as=number
Set the maximum size of the process's virtual memory (address space) in bytes.

.TP
\fB\-\-rlimit-cpu=number
Set the maximum limit, in seconds, for the amount of CPU time each
sandboxed process  can consume. When the limit is reached, the processes are killed.

The CPU limit is a limit on CPU seconds rather than elapsed time. CPU seconds is basically how many seconds
the CPU has been in use and does not necessarily directly relate to the elapsed time. Linux kernel keeps
track of CPU seconds for each process independently.

.TP
\fB\-\-rlimit-fsize=number
Set the maximum file size that can be created by a process.
.TP
\fB\-\-rlimit-nofile=number
Set the maximum number of files that can be opened by a process.
.TP
\fB\-\-rlimit-nproc=number
Set the maximum number of processes that can be created for the real user ID of the calling process.
.TP
\fB\-\-rlimit-sigpending=number
Set the maximum number of pending signals for a process.

.TP
\fB\-\-rmenv=name
Remove environment variable in the new sandbox.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-rmenv=DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS

.TP
\fB\-\-scan
ARP-scan all the networks from inside a network namespace.
This makes it possible to detect macvlan kernel device drivers running on the current host.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-net=eth0 \-\-scan
.TP
\fB\-\-seccomp
Enable seccomp filter and blacklist the syscalls in the default list (@default). The default list is as follows:
mount, umount2, ptrace, kexec_load, kexec_file_load, name_to_handle_at, open_by_handle_at, create_module, init_module, finit_module, delete_module,
iopl, ioperm, ioprio_set, swapon, swapoff, syslog, process_vm_readv, process_vm_writev,
sysfs,_sysctl, adjtimex, clock_adjtime, lookup_dcookie, perf_event_open, fanotify_init, kcmp,
add_key, request_key, keyctl, uselib, acct, modify_ldt, pivot_root, io_setup,
io_destroy, io_getevents, io_submit, io_cancel,
remap_file_pages, mbind, set_mempolicy,
migrate_pages, move_pages, vmsplice, chroot,
tuxcall, reboot, mfsservctl, get_kernel_syms,
bpf, clock_settime, personality, process_vm_writev, query_module,
settimeofday, stime, umount, userfaultfd, ustat, vm86, vm86old,
afs_syscall, bdflush, break, ftime, getpmsg, gtty, lock, mpx, pciconfig_iobase, pciconfig_read,
pciconfig_write, prof, profil, putpmsg, rtas, s390_runtime_instr, s390_mmio_read, s390_mmio_write,
security, setdomainname,  sethostname, sgetmask, ssetmask, stty, subpage_prot, switch_endian,
ulimit, vhangup and vserver.

.br
To help creating useful seccomp filters more easily, the following
system call groups are defined: @clock, @cpu-emulation, @debug,
@default, @default-nodebuggers, @default-keep, @module, @obsolete,
@privileged, @raw-io, @reboot, @resources and @swap. In addtion, a
system call can be specified by its number instead of name with prefix
$, so for example $165 would be equal to mount on i386.

.br
System architecture is strictly imposed only if flag
\-\-seccomp.block-secondary is used. The filter is applied at run time
only if the correct architecture was detected. For the case of I386
and AMD64 both 32-bit and 64-bit filters are installed.
.br

.br
Firejail will print seccomp violations to the audit log if the kernel was compiled with audit support (CONFIG_AUDIT flag).
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-seccomp
.TP
\fB\-\-seccomp=syscall,@group
Enable seccomp filter, blacklist the default list (@default) and the syscalls or syscall groups specified by the command.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-seccomp=utime,utimensat,utimes firefox
.br
$ firejail \-\-seccomp=@clock,mkdir,unlinkat transmission-gtk
.br

.br
Instead of dropping the syscall, a specific error number can be returned
using \fBsyscall:errorno\fR syntax.
.br

.br
Example:
$ firejail \-\-seccomp=unlinkat:ENOENT,utimensat,utimes
.br
Parent pid 10662, child pid 10663
.br
Child process initialized
.br
$ touch testfile
.br
$ rm testfile
.br
rm: cannot remove `testfile': Operation not permitted
.br

.br
If the blocked system calls would also block Firejail from operating,
they are handled by adding a preloaded library which performs seccomp
system calls later.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-noprofile \-\-shell=none \-\-seccomp=execve bash
.br
Parent pid 32751, child pid 32752
.br
Post-exec seccomp protector enabled
.br
list in: execve, check list: @default-keep prelist: (null), postlist: execve
.br
Child process initialized in 46.44 ms
.br
$ ls
.br
Bad system call
.br

.TP
\fB\-\-seccomp.block_secondary
Enable seccomp filter and filter system call architectures so that
only the native architecture is allowed. For example, on amd64, i386
and x32 system calls are blocked as well as changing the execution
domain with personality(2) system call.
.br

.TP
\fB\-\-seccomp.drop=syscall,@group
Enable seccomp filter, and blacklist the syscalls or the syscall groups specified by the command.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-seccomp.drop=utime,utimensat,utimes,@clock
.br

.br
Instead of dropping the syscall, a specific error number can be returned
using \fBsyscall:errorno\fR syntax.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-seccomp.drop=unlinkat:ENOENT,utimensat,utimes
.br
Parent pid 10662, child pid 10663
.br
Child process initialized
.br
$ touch testfile
.br
$ rm testfile
.br
rm: cannot remove `testfile': Operation not permitted
.br





.TP
\fB\-\-seccomp.keep=syscall,syscall,syscall
Enable seccomp filter, and whitelist the syscalls specified by the
command. The system calls needed by Firejail (group @default-keep:
prctl, execve) are handled with the preload library.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-shell=none \-\-seccomp.keep=poll,select,[...] transmission-gtk

.TP
\fB\-\-seccomp.print=name|PID
Print the seccomp filter for the sandbox identified by name or PID.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-name=browser firefox &
.br
$ firejail --seccomp.print=browser

.TP
\fB\-\-version
Print program version and exit.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-version
.br
firejail version 0.9.27

.TP
\fB\-\-veth-name=name
Use this name for the interface connected to the bridge for --net=bridge_interface commands,
instead of the default one.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-net=br0 --veth-name=if0

.TP
\fB\-\-whitelist=dirname_or_filename
Whitelist directory or file. A temporary file system is mounted on the top directory, and the
whitelisted files are mount-binded inside. Modifications to whitelisted files are persistent,
everything else is discarded when the sandbox is closed. The top directory could be
user home, /dev, /media, /mnt, /opt, /srv, /var, and /tmp.
.br

.br
Symbolic link handling: with the exception of user home, both the link and the real file should be in
the same top directory. For user home, both the link and the real file should be owned by the user.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-noprofile \-\-whitelist=~/.mozilla
.br
$ firejail \-\-whitelist=/tmp/.X11-unix --whitelist=/dev/null
.br
$ firejail "\-\-whitelist=/home/username/My Virtual Machines"

.TP
\fB\-\-writable-etc
Mount /etc directory read-write.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ sudo firejail --writable-etc

.TP
\fB\-\-writable-run-user
Disable the default blacklisting of /run/user/$UID/systemd and /run/user/$UID/gnupg.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ sudo firejail --writable-run-user

.TP
\fB\-\-writable-var
Mount /var directory read-write.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ sudo firejail --writable-var

.TP
\fB\-\-writable-var-log
Use the real /var/log directory, not a clone. By default, a tmpfs is mounted on top of /var/log
directory, and a skeleton filesystem is created based on the original /var/log.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ sudo firejail --writable-var-log


.TP
\fB\-\-x11
Sandbox the application using Xpra, Xephyr, Xvfb or Xorg security extension.
The sandbox will prevents screenshot and keylogger applications started inside the sandbox from accessing
clients running outside the sandbox.
Firejail will try first Xpra, and if Xpra is not installed on the system, it will try to find Xephyr.
If all fails, Firejail will not attempt to use Xvfb or X11 security extension.
.br

.br
Xpra, Xephyr and Xvfb modes require a network namespace to be instantiated in order to disable
X11 abstract Unix socket. If this is not possible, the user can disable the abstract socket
by adding "-nolisten local" on Xorg command line at system level.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-x11 --net=eth0 firefox

.TP
\fB\-\-x11=none
Blacklist /tmp/.X11-unix directory, ${HOME}/.Xauthority and the file specified in ${XAUTHORITY} environment variable.
Remove DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY environment variables.
Stop with error message if X11 abstract socket will be accessible in jail.

.TP
\fB\-\-x11=xephyr
Start Xephyr and attach the sandbox to this server.
Xephyr is a display server implementing the X11 display server protocol.
A network namespace needs to be instantiated in order to deny access to X11 abstract Unix domain socket.
.br

.br
Xephyr runs in a window just like any other X11 application. The default window size is 800x600.
This can be modified in /etc/firejail/firejail.config file.
.br

.br
The recommended way to use this feature is to run a window manager inside the sandbox.
A security profile for OpenBox is provided.
.br

.br
Xephyr is developed by Xorg project. On Debian platforms it is installed with the command \fBsudo apt-get install xserver-xephyr\fR.
This feature is not available when running as root.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-x11=xephyr --net=eth0 openbox

.TP
\fB\-\-x11=xorg
Sandbox the application using the untrusted mode implemented by X11 security extension.
The extension is available in Xorg package
and it is installed by default on most Linux distributions. It provides support for a simple trusted/untrusted
connection model. Untrusted clients are restricted in certain ways to prevent them from reading window
contents of other clients, stealing input events, etc.

The untrusted mode has several limitations. A lot of regular programs  assume they are a trusted X11 clients
and will crash or lock up when run in untrusted mode. Chromium browser and xterm are two examples.
Firefox and transmission-gtk seem to be working fine.
A network namespace is not required for this option.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-x11=xorg firefox

.TP
\fB\-\-x11=xpra
Start Xpra (https://xpra.org) and attach the sandbox to this server.
Xpra is a persistent remote display server and client for forwarding X11 applications and desktop screens.
A network namespace needs to be instantiated in order to deny access to X11 abstract Unix domain socket.
.br

.br
On Debian platforms Xpra is installed with the command \fBsudo apt-get install xpra\fR.
This feature is not available when running as root.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-x11=xpra --net=eth0 firefox


.TP
\fB\-\-x11=xvfb
Start Xvfb X11 server and attach the sandbox to this server.
Xvfb, short for X virtual framebuffer, performs all graphical operations in memory
without showing any screen output. Xvfb is mainly used for remote access and software
testing on headless servers.
.br

.br
On Debian platforms Xvfb is installed with the command \fBsudo apt-get install xvfb\fR.
This feature is not available when running as root.
.br

.br
Example: remote VNC access
.br

.br
On the server we start a sandbox using Xvfb and openbox
window manager. The default size of Xvfb screen is 800x600 - it can be changed
in /etc/firejail/firejail.config (xvfb-screen). Some sort of networking (--net) is required
in order to isolate the abstract sockets used by other X servers.
.br

.br
$ firejail --net=none --x11=xvfb openbox
.br

.br
*** Attaching to Xvfb display 792 ***
.br

.br
Reading profile /etc/firejail/openbox.profile
.br
Reading profile /etc/firejail/disable-common.inc
.br
Reading profile /etc/firejail/disable-common.local
.br
Parent pid 5400, child pid 5401
.br

.br
On the server we also start a VNC server and attach it to the display handled by our
Xvfb server (792).
.br

.br
$ x11vnc -display :792
.br

.br
On the client machine we start a VNC viewer and use it to connect to our server:
.br

.br
$ vncviewer
.br

.TP
\fB\-\-xephyr-screen=WIDTHxHEIGHT
Set screen size for --x11=xephyr. The setting will overwrite the default set in /etc/firejail/firejail.config
for the current sandbox. Run xrandr to get a list of supported resolutions on your computer.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail --net=eth0 --x11=xephyr --xephyr-screen=640x480 firefox
.br

.TP
\fB\-\-zsh
Use /usr/bin/zsh as default user shell.
.br

.br
Example:
.br
$ firejail \-\-zsh

.SH DESKTOP INTEGRATION
A symbolic link to /usr/bin/firejail under the name of a program, will start the program in Firejail sandbox.
The symbolic link should be placed in the first $PATH position. On most systems, a good place
is /usr/local/bin directory. Example:
.PP
.RS
.br

.br
Make a firefox symlink to /usr/bin/firejail:
.br

.br
$ ln -s /usr/bin/firejail /usr/local/bin/firefox
.br

.br
Verify $PATH
.br

.br
$ which -a firefox
.br
/usr/local/bin/firefox
.br
/usr/bin/firefox
.br

.br
Starting firefox in this moment, automatically invokes “firejail firefox”.
.RE
.br

.br
This works for clicking on desktop environment icons, menus etc. Use "firejail --tree"
to verify the program is sandboxed.
.PP
.RS
.br

.br
.br

We provide a tool that automates all this integration, please see \fBman 1 firecfg\fR for more details.

.SH FILE GLOBBING
.TP
Globbing is the operation that expands a wildcard pattern into the list of pathnames matching the pattern. Matching is defined by:
.br

.br
- '?' matches any character
.br
- '*' matches any string
.br
- '[' denotes a range of characters
.br
.TP
The gobing feature is implemented using glibc glob command. For more information on the wildcard syntax see man 7 glob.
.br

.br
.TP
The following command line options are supported: \-\-blacklist, \-\-private-bin, \-\-noexec, \-\-read-only, \-\-read-write, and \-\-tmpfs.
.br

.br
.TP
Examples:
.br

.br
$ firejail --private-bin=sh,bash,python*
.br
$ firejail --blacklist=~/dir[1234]
.br
$ firejail --read-only=~/dir[1-4]
.br

.SH APPARMOR
.TP
AppArmor support is disabled by default at compile time. Use --enable-apparmor configuration option to enable it:
.br

.br
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-apparmor
.TP
During software install, a generic AppArmor profile file, firejail-default, is placed in /etc/apparmor.d directory. The profile needs to be loaded into the kernel by running the following command as root:
.br

.br
# aa-enforce firejail-default
.TP
The installed profile tries to replicate some advanced security features inspired by kernel-based Grsecurity:
.br

.br
- Prevent information leakage in /proc and /sys directories. The resulting filesystem is barely enough for running
commands such as "top" and "ps aux".
.br

.br
- Allow running programs only from well-known system paths, such as /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin etc. Running
programs and scripts from user home or other directories writable by the user is not allowed.
.br

.br
- Allow access to files only in the following standard directories: /bin, /dev, /etc, /home, /lib*, /media, /mnt, /opt,
/proc, /root, /run, /sbin, /srv, /sys, /tmp, /usr, and /var
.br

.br
- Disable D-Bus. D-Bus has long been a huge security hole, and most programs don't use it anyway.
You should have no problems running Chromium or Firefox. This feature is available only on Ubuntu kernels.

.TP
To enable AppArmor confinement on top of your current Firejail security features, pass \fB\-\-apparmor\fR flag to Firejail command line. You can also include \fBapparmor\fR command in a Firejail profile file. Example:
.br

.br
$ firejail --apparmor firefox

.SH FILE TRANSFER
These features allow the user to inspect the filesystem container of an existing sandbox
and transfer files from the container to the host filesystem.

.TP
\fB\-\-get=name|pid filename
Retrieve the container file and store it on the host in the current working directory.
The container is specified by name or PID.

.TP
\fB\-\-ls=name|pid dir_or_filename
List container files. The container is specified by name or PID.

.TP
\fB\-\-put=name|pid src-filename dest-filename
Put src-filename in sandbox container.
The container is specified by name or PID.

.TP
Examples:
.br

.br
$ firejail \-\-name=mybrowser --private firefox
.br

.br
$ firejail \-\-ls=mybrowser ~/Downloads
.br
drwxr-xr-x netblue  netblue         4096 .
.br

.SH TRAFFIC SHAPING
Network bandwidth is an expensive resource shared among all sandboxes running on a system.
Traffic shaping allows the user to increase network performance by controlling
the amount of data that flows into and out of the sandboxes.

Firejail implements a simple rate-limiting shaper based on Linux command tc.
The shaper works at sandbox level, and can be used only for sandboxes configured with new network namespaces.

Set rate-limits:

	$ firejail --bandwidth=name|pid set network download upload

Clear rate-limits:

	$ firejail --bandwidth=name|pid clear network

Status:

	$ firejail --bandwidth=name|pid status

where:
.br
	name - sandbox name
.br
	pid - sandbox pid
.br
	network - network interface as used by \-\-net option
.br
	download - download speed in KB/s (kilobyte per second)
.br
	upload - upload speed in KB/s (kilobyte per second)

Example:
.br
	$ firejail \-\-name=mybrowser \-\-net=eth0 firefox &
.br
	$ firejail \-\-bandwidth=mybrowser set eth0 80 20
.br
	$ firejail \-\-bandwidth=mybrowser status
.br
	$ firejail \-\-bandwidth=mybrowser clear eth0

.SH AUDIT
Audit feature allows the user to point out gaps in security profiles. The
implementation replaces the program to be sandboxed with a test program. By
default, we use faudit program distributed with Firejail. A custom test program
can also be supplied by the user. Examples:

Running the default audit program:
.br
	$ firejail --audit transmission-gtk

Running a custom audit program:
.br
	$ firejail --audit=~/sandbox-test transmission-gtk

In the examples above, the sandbox configures transmission-gtk profile and
starts the test program. The real program, transmission-gtk, will not be
started.

Limitations: audit feature is not implemented for --x11 commands.

.SH MONITORING
Option \-\-list prints a list of all sandboxes. The format
for each process entry is as follows:

	PID:USER:Sandbox Name:Command

Option \-\-tree prints the tree of processes running in the sandbox. The format
for each process entry is as follows:

	PID:USER:Sandbox Name:Command

Option \-\-top is similar to the UNIX top command, however it applies only to
sandboxes.

Option \-\-netstats prints network statistics for active sandboxes installing new network namespaces.


Listed below are the available fields (columns) in alphabetical
order for \-\-top and \-\-netstat options:

.TP
Command
Command used to start the sandbox.
.TP
CPU%
CPU usage, the sandbox share of the elapsed CPU time since the
last screen update
.TP
PID
Unique process ID for the task controlling the sandbox.
.TP
Prcs
Number of processes running in sandbox, including the controlling process.
.TP
RES
Resident Memory Size (KiB), sandbox non-swapped physical memory.
It is a sum of the RES values for all processes running in the sandbox.
.TP
RX(KB/s)
Network receive speed.
.TP
Sandbox Name
The name of the sandbox, if any.
.TP
SHR
Shared Memory Size (KiB), it reflects memory shared with other
processes. It is a sum of the SHR values for all processes running
in the sandbox, including the controlling process.
.TP
TX(KB/s)
Network transmit speed.
.TP
Uptime
Sandbox running time in hours:minutes:seconds format.
.TP
USER
The owner of the sandbox.

.SH SECURITY PROFILES
Several command line options can be passed to the program using
profile files. Firejail chooses the profile file as follows:

1. If a profile file is provided by the user with --profile option, the profile file is loaded.
Example:
.PP
.RS
$ firejail --profile=/home/netblue/icecat.profile icecat
.br
Reading profile /home/netblue/icecat.profile
.br
[...]
.RE

2. If a profile file with the same name as the application is present in ~/.config/firejail directory or
in /etc/firejail, the profile is loaded. ~/.config/firejail takes precedence over /etc/firejail. Example:
.PP
.RS
$ firejail icecat
.br
Command name #icecat#
.br
Found icecat profile in /home/netblue/.config/firejail directory
.br
Reading profile /home/netblue/.config/firejail/icecat.profile
.br
[...]
.RE

3. Use default.profile file if the sandbox
is started by a regular user, or server.profile file if the sandbox
is started by root. Firejail looks for these files in ~/.config/firejail directory, followed by /etc/firejail directory.
To disable default profile loading, use --noprofile command option. Example:
.PP
.RS
$ firejail
.br
Reading profile /etc/firejail/default.profile
.br
Parent pid 8553, child pid 8554
.br
Child process initialized
.br
[...]
.br

.br
$ firejail \-\-noprofile
.br
Parent pid 8553, child pid 8554
.br
Child process initialized
.br
[...]
.RE

See man 5 firejail-profile for profile file syntax information.

.SH RESTRICTED SHELL
To configure a restricted shell, replace /bin/bash with /usr/bin/firejail in
/etc/passwd file for each user that needs to be restricted. Alternatively,
you can specify /usr/bin/firejail  in adduser command:

adduser \-\-shell /usr/bin/firejail username

Additional arguments passed to firejail executable upon login are declared in /etc/firejail/login.users file.

.SH EXAMPLES
.TP
\f\firejail
Sandbox a regular /bin/bash session.
.TP
\f\firejail firefox
Start Mozilla Firefox.
.TP
\f\firejail \-\-debug firefox
Debug Firefox sandbox.
.TP
\f\firejail \-\-private firefox
Start Firefox with a new, empty home directory.
.TP
\f\firejail --net=none vlc
Start VLC in an unconnected network namespace.
.TP
\f\firejail \-\-net=eth0 firefox
