How can I detect WINE from my program, or detect Linux, in other wors how can I detect that OS is not Windows. BOOL WINAPI GetVersionEx(LPOSVERSIONINFO lpVersionInfo) returns that OS is Vista :D [Question]

I'm considering using virt-sandbox with lxc to sandbox and execute untrusted code like python scripts and compiled C code. Is it possible to limit CPU and Memory like is possible with lxc-execute and a config file? What are the defaults security settings? Is it completely isolated by default? What's the difference between lxc-execute and libvirt-sandbox? How can I use it in ubuntu?

Hello again, (FYI, I took the liberty to change the topic since I started the former thread "How is Win/Dos syscalls implemented in Wine?" which I feel has gone a little bit off-topic) I had some more thoughts on the issue... I believe most wine users trust wine not to touch anything outside of its configured drive space. Malicious Linux/Unix syscalls could be embedded in windows

Hello! I want to have firewall/monitor in wine. Configuring Linux firewall is an external solution that affects all programs etc. The idea is to create configuration file for black- and/or while- list that would be analysed by wine during connections requests. The brute way is to modify ws2_32 dll source directly, but maybe there is more accurate way. Could you suggest where to start digging?

Hi, it seems that Squirrel mail uses Mailbox annotations for storing Expire times on the Server. It's an Cyrus server currently. (I've no clue how cyrexpire is able to read it's information from the annotiations) Does dovecot support some similiar mechanism? Or - does anybody know anything about how it's supposed to work on Cyrus and how it can be emulated/simulated with dovecot?

An exe file that I want to run on linux made for windows comes up as a Trojan on VirusTotal - how would I run it without it affecting my system? Is there any way that I can run this program on my Linux system without possibly getting a virus? Other people have told me that it would affect your wine prefix located normally inside ~/.wine and that any program running inside a wine prefix has only

Currently wine is able to run the windows program JoytoKey decently. One of the most important features of JoytoKey (emualtion of the mouse using a joystick), works within the Linux desktop, but not inside applications which take control of the mouse (mainly games). I was wondering if it would be possible for Wine to allow JoyToKey to control such applications using Joytokey's mouse emulation.

Hello, I am currently doing my project and I need some help. I am trying to schedule tutors for a study room where students come in and out for helps. My goal is to schedule the tutors to maximally accomodate to the flow of students that need help with math so that each tutor is given an appropriate(also consecutive) hours of schedule. I am using monte carlo simulation for this, however I have

1. What does ~ mean? cd ie. "~/.wine/drive_c/" 2. Steam runs. Hurray. But I can't chat with friends. I can see their messages, but not mine. I assume they never get them because they never say anything more. 3. I launch TF2, I get the valve logo, source logo, then BAM back to desktop. No error boxes. And my screen resolution stays "minimized" to what tf2 was

Hi. This is mostly hypothetical, just because I want to see how knowledgeable people would go about achieving it: I want to sandbox Mozilla Firefox. For the sake of example, I'm running it under my own user account. The idea is that it should be allowed to connect to the X server, it should be allowed to write to ~/.mozilla and /tmp. I expect some configurations would want access to audio

Dear all, I have been trying to set up the set up Libvirt Sandbox without success. I want to use virt-sandbox in order to run untrusted programs in a secure environment. I am had no knowledge about virtualization until a couple of days ago, so I am probably doing something wrong. The scenario is the following: Linode instance. OS that I have tried: Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 14, Fedora 21. Both

Solaris 10U3, latest kqemu, qemu-0.9.0-CVS plus TAP patch. I''m aware that a fair amount of "rootish" access is required for the TAP and bridge stuff, and I''m working on that. As kind of a secuirty thought, I figured I''d use setfacl to give myself access to the /dev/kqemu device instead of leaving it mode 664 or 666. However, that didn''t work.

Hi I want to play a bit with Asterisk. I currentlly install a new system for that and I would like to get your recommendations regarding the linux distro to use there. This is NOT intended to become a general distro flame war. My favorite distro is ******** and no argument that you flame will convince me here (probably because I've heard it before). However I would like to minimize the OS

Please!! I would now if it's possible windows's virus in Linux by wine!!
