42## X11 sandboxing support 42## X11 sandboxing support
43 43
44X11 support is built around Xpra (http://xpra.org/). 44X11 support is built around Xpra (http://xpra.org/) of Xephyr.
45So far I've seen it working on Debian 7 and 8, and Ubuntu 14.04. If you manage to run it on another
46distribution, please let me know. Example:
47````` 45`````
48$ firejail --x11 --net=eth0 firefox 46 --x11 Start a new X11 server using Xpra or Xephyr and attach the sand‐
47 box to this server. The regular X11 server (display 0) is not
48 visible in the sandbox. This prevents screenshot and keylogger
49 applications started in the sandbox from accessing other X11
50 displays. A network namespace needs to be instantiated in order
51 to deny access to X11 abstract Unix domain socket.
52
53 Firejail will try first Xpra, and if Xpra is not installed on
54 the system, it will try to find Xephyr. This feature is not
55 available when running as root.
56
57 Example:
58 $ firejail --x11 --net=eth0 firefox
59
60 --x11=xpra
61 Start a new X11 server using Xpra (http://xpra.org) and attach
62 the sandbox to this server. Xpra is a persistent remote display
63 server and client for forwarding X11 applications and desktop
64 screens. On Debian platforms Xpra is installed with the command
65 sudo apt-get install xpra. This feature is not available when
66 running as root.
67
68 Example:
69 $ firejail --x11 --net=eth0 firefox
70
71 --x11=xephyr
72 Start a new X11 server using Xephyr and attach the sandbox to
73 this server. Xephyr is a display server implementing the X11
74 display server protocol. It runs in a window just like other X
75 applications, but it is an X server itself in which you can run
76 other software. The default Xephyr window size is 800x600. This
77 can be modified in /etc/firejail/firejail.config file, see man 5
78 firejail-config for more details.
79
80 The recommended way to use this feature is to run a window man‐
81 ager inside the sandbox. A security profile for OpenBox is pro‐
82 vided. On Debian platforms Xephyr is installed with the command
83 sudo apt-get install xserver-xephyr. This feature is not avail‐
84 able when running as root.
85
86 Example:
87 $ firejail --x11 --net=eth0 openbox
49````` 88`````
50--x11 starts the server, --net is required in order to remove the main X11 server socket from the sandbox.
