Cappsule and NoFear from Quarkslab

BoerenkoolMetWorst · Nov 20, 2016

Cappsule is a new kind of hypervisor developed by Quarkslab (to our knowledge, there’s no similar public project). Its goal is to virtualize any software on the fly (e.g. web browser, office suite, media player) into lightweight VMs called cappsules. Attacks are confined inside cappsules and therefore don’t have any impact on the host OS. Applications don’t need to be repackaged, and their usage remain the same for the end user: it’s completely transparent. Moreover, the OS doesn’t need to be reinstalled nor modified.

NoFear is a tool developed by Quarkslab to sandbox applications transparently thanks to hardware virtualization

What's the difference with Cappsule?
Regarding virtualization, Cappsule introduced the concept of on the fly virtualization with a custom hypervisor; whereas NoFear makes use of KVM included in mainline Linux kernel.

Concerning dependencies, Cappsule requires a custom Ubuntu configuration and a specific Linux kernel version. Any change to the Linux kernel is prone to break the hypervisor or the VMs. NoFear aims at being distro-independent, requiring software distributed through the distro packages.
