  • Sailjail: how Sailfish OS sandboxes its apps | Snapp Technology Podcast

    How does Sailfish OS stop an app from reaching everything on your phone? Jasper looks inside Sailjail, the component that sandboxes applications and handles their permissions, and at Firejail, the Linux tool it builds on. Then he compares it with how Android, Flatpak and PureOS approach the same problem.

    In this episode:

    • What Sailjail does, and how it relates to Firejail
    • The Linux mechanisms underneath: namespaces, seccomp-bpf and capabilities
    • What happens between tapping an icon and the app running in its sandbox
    • Where the rough edges are: permissions asked up front, a moment running as root, and all apps sharing one Linux user
    • How Android, Flatpak and PureOS do things differently

    • BCCI: The Bank of Crooks and Criminals (PBS Frontline 1992)

      Originally aired April 1992. "FRONTLINE examines the global banking scandal surrounding the Bank of Credit & Commerce International (#BCCI) by tracking the aggressive investigation of the case by New York District attorney Robert Morgenthau. This report investigates the origins of BCCI, how it became a conduit for terrorism, arms deals, and drug money laundering, how its influence spread to political power brokers in the US, and why agencies of the US government were so slow to respond to the growing scandal."
