    Since Novell who own pioneered apparmor, the nifty gui found on their distro SuSE is not found in Ubuntu or other distros so you are stuck with using command like but its not that difficult. You can also find pre made apparmor profiles in the Ubuntu forum.

    As far as I can see no one posting in this Linux forum has been hacked or been the victim of malware - set me straight if this is not true.
    So I think HIPS-like s/ware for Linux may be overkill. Anyway Ubuntu comes with several pre-configured apparmor profiles. The one for Firefox needs to be enabled - it's there waiting for your decision to enable. :argh:

    well... the GUI will help a lot the work... but....
    THX for the link.

    @Ocky
    I know that not exist much malware for linux... but how i only use firefox and pidgin (I not use Thunderbird and use Transmission only to download linux ISOs), i wanna use Sandbox-X to protect these 2... and is a way to learn one thing or two too...

    So looks like no Sandbox-X to Mint... so only enabled the Firefox profile... and will spend some time trying do a pidgin profile.

    Thx all for the replys.

    Is it possible to make profile on Suse and then somehow export, then import and edit on Ubuntu?

    Well i think is... because all profiles are saved in the apparmor folder (with a default extension i think..). If is... worthwhile give a try...
