Unix-like operating systems commonly implement IP address blocking using a TCP wrapper, configured by host access control files /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow.. Both companies and schools offering remote user access use Linux programs such as DenyHosts or Fail2ban for protection from unauthorized access while allowing permitted remote access.
The hosts file is one of several system facilities that assists in addressing network nodes in a computer network. It is a common part of an operating system's Internet Protocol (IP) implementation, and serves the function of translating human-friendly hostnames into numeric protocol addresses, called IP addresses, that identify and locate a host in an IP network.
PeerBlock is a free and open-source personal firewall that blocks packets coming from, or going to, a maintained list of blacklisted hosts. [2] PeerBlock is the Windows successor to the software PeerGuardian (which is currently maintained only for Linux ). [ 3 ]
It is one of the few pieces of virtual machine software available for Android capable of emulating Microsoft Windows, [32] although it was designed to emulate Linux and DOS. Unlike other QEMU-based emulators, it does not require users to type commands to use, instead having a user interface to set the virtual machine's settings.
The emulator shipped with the ability to run Mac OS X 10.3, OpenBSD for PowerPC, NetBSD for PowerPC, Darwin for PowerPC and Mandrake Linux 9.1, though it was noted that the emulated operating systems could be up to 40 times slower than the host. [1] This speed was later brought up, running around 10 times slower than the host. [11]
The Abusive Hosts Blocking List (AHBL) was an internet abuse tracking and filtering system developed by The Summit Open Source Development Group, and based on the original Summit Blocking List (2000–2002). Its DNSBLs were shut down on Jan 1, 2015 and now appear to be blacklisting the entire Internet. [1]
In software engineering, a compatibility layer is an interface that allows binaries for a legacy or foreign system to run on a host system. This translates system calls for the foreign system into native system calls for the host system. With some libraries for the foreign system, this will often be sufficient to run foreign binaries on the ...
A sandbox is implemented by executing the software in a restricted operating system environment, thus controlling the resources (e.g. file descriptors, memory, file system space, etc.) that a process may use. [4] Examples of sandbox implementations include the following: Linux application sandboxing, built on Seccomp, cgroups and Linux namespaces.
