Sapients in a Sandbox
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of this Chapter is to set concrete grounds for two arguments. The first in favor of approaching the notion of sapient systems from the unlikely perspective of stupidity. The second, in favor of paying serious attention to the environment where agents endowed with decision autonomy —be they sapient, human or otherwise— interact. Although the paper is ostensibly speculative, some concrete elements are advanced to substantiate both arguments.

secmodel sandbox : An application sandbox for NetBSD (draft)
We introduce a new security model for NetBSD – secmodel sandbox – that allows per-process policies for restricting privileges. Privileges correspond to kauth authorization requests, such as a request to create a socket or read a file, and policies specify the sandbox’s decision: deny, defer, or allow. Processes may apply multiple sandbox policies to themselves, in which case the policies stack,...
متن کاملSANDBOX: Accessing Scientific Data through Experimentation
In this paper we describe a new interface to scientific databases, the SANDBOX: Scientists Accessing Necessary Data Based On eXperimentation. The SANDBOX is a virtual reality tool allowing an investigator to visualize the contents of a scientific database while retrieving data. As the data in these databases was typically collected through experimentation, an investigator can use the SANDBOX to...
متن کاملSandBlaster: Reversing the Apple Sandbox
In order to limit the damage of malware on Mac OS X and iOS, Apple uses sandboxing, a kernel-level security layer that provides tight constraints for system calls. Particularly used for Apple iOS, sandboxing prevents apps from executing potentially dangerous actions, by defining rules in a sandbox profile. Investigating Apple’s built-in sandbox profiles is difficult as they are compiled and sto...

Sandboxing is one of the most promising technologies for safely executing potentially malicious applications, and it is becoming an indispensable functionality of modern computer systems. Nevertheless, traditional operating systems provide no special support for sandboxing; a sandbox system is either built in the user level, or directly encoded in the kernel level. In the user-level implementat...
متن کاملPyBox - A Python Sandbox
The application of dynamic malware analysis in order to automate the monitoring of malware behavior has become increasingly important. For this purpose, so-called sandboxes are used. They provide the functionality to execute malware in a secure, controlled environment and observe its activities during runtime. While a variety of sandbox software, such as the GFI Sandbox (formerly CWSandbox) or ...
