Browser in the Box

[Cch123]

Hi guys, has anyone tried this offering from Sirrix? It was designed with funding from the German government to be used to secure their systems. Basically, it runs a broswer in SELinux through the use of virtualbox, so an attacker would have to exploit your browser (Chrome is a lot stronger on linux), exploit the linux system and then exploit virtualbox in order to get to your main windows system. And not to mention that it blocks all data exfiltration by blocking all data uploads.

Any thoughts on this? The only thing putting me off is the resource requirement.

Posted in "other security software" as it does far more than a browser.

Can not say i have heard of it until now, but can say you could achieve this same effect just by running a linux distro with SElinux such as Fedora Flavors, and installing virtualbox, and another distro in virtualbox.

You can customize the Policy set in SElinux.
