NAME         top

       jailcheck - Simple utility program to test running sandboxes

SYNOPSIS         top

       sudo jailcheck [OPTIONS] [directory]

DESCRIPTION         top

       jailcheck attaches itself to all sandboxes started by the user
       and performs some basic tests on the sandbox filesystem:

       1. Virtual directories
              jailcheck extracts a list with the main virtual
              directories installed by the sandbox.  These directories
              are build by firejail at startup using --private* and
              --whitelist commands.

       2. Noexec test
              jailcheck inserts executable programs in /home/username,
              /tmp, and /var/tmp directories and tries to run them from
              inside the sandbox, thus testing if the directory is
              executable or not.

       3. Read access test
              jailcheck creates test files in the directories specified
              by the user and tries to read them from inside the
              sandbox.

       4. AppArmor test

       5. Seccomp test

       6. Networking test

       The program is started as root using sudo.

OPTIONS         top

       --debug
              Print debug messages.

       -?, --help
              Print options and exit.

       --version
              Print program version and exit.

       [directory]
              One or more directories in user home to test for read
              access. ~/.ssh and ~/.gnupg are tested by default.

OUTPUT         top

       For each sandbox detected we print the following line:

            PID:USER:Sandbox Name:Command

       It is followed by relevant sandbox information, such as the
       virtual directories and various warnings.
