COMPIILING AND EXECUTING CODE IN A SECURE SANDBOX
The present disclosure relates generally to computer architecture and infrastructure for guest operating systems executing on a host operating system. A method of compiling and executing a new program in a secure sandbox. The method includes receiving, by a host operating system, a request from a guest operating system to invoke an execution environment in a secure sandbox on a host operating system; and execute the execution environment in the secure sandbox. The user can use the execution environment in the secure sand box from a guest operating system to compile and execute the new program on the host operating system.
1 . A method of compiling and executing a new program in a secure sandbox, the method comprising:
receiving, by a host operating system, a request from a guest operating system to invoke an execution environment in a secure sandbox on a host operating system; and
executing the execution environment in the secure sandbox;
whereby, a user can use the execution environment in the secure sand box from a guest operating system to compile and execute the new program on the host operating system.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by a host operating system, a source code file from the guest operating system.
3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising compiling by the host operating system the source code file into an executable file in the execution environment in the secure sandbox.
4 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising returning from the host operating system to the guest operating system the executable file.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving includes receiving, by a host operating system, via a secure tunnel a request from a guest operating system to invoke an execution environment in a secure sandbox on a host operating system.
6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the secure tunnel is an encrypted communication path between the guest operating system and the host operating system and includes loop back networking.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the secure tunnel includes SMB file access through the guest operating system.
8 . A computer program product for compiling and executing a new program in a secure sandbox, comprising:
a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a set of instructions that when executed by a programmable computing device causes the computing device to implement a method for configuring a set of network devices, the method comprising:
receiving, by a host operating system, a request from a guest operating system to invoke an execution environment in a secure sandbox on a host operating system; and
executing the execution environment in the secure sandbox;
whereby, a user can use the execution environment in the secure sandbox from a guest operating system to compile and execute the new program on the host operating system.
9 . The computer program product of claim 8 , further comprising receiving, by a host operating system, a source code file from the guest operating system.
10 . The computer program product of claim 9 , further comprising compiling by the host operating system the source code file into an executable file in the execution environment in the secure sandbox.
11 . The computer program product of claim 10 , further comprising returning from the host operating system to the guest operating system the executable file.
12 . The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein receiving includes receiving, by a host operating system, via a secure tunnel a request from a guest operating system to invoke an execution environment in a secure sandbox on a host operating system.
13 . The computer program product of claim 12 , wherein the secure tunnel is an encrypted communication path between the guest operating system and the host operating system and includes loop back networking.
14 . The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the secure tunnel includes SMB file access through the guest operating system.
15 . A method of compiling and executing a new program in a secure sandbox, the method comprising:
receiving, by a host operating system, a request from a guest operating system to invoke an execution environment in a secure sandbox on a host operating system;
executing the execution environment in the secure sandbox;
receiving, by a host operating system, a source code file from the guest operating system; and
compiling by the host operating system the source code file into an executable file in the execution environment in the secure sandbox;
whereby, a user can use the execution environment in the secure sand box from a guest operating system to compile and execute the new program on the host operating system.
16 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising returning from the host operating system to the guest operating system the executable file.
17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein receiving includes receiving, by a host operating system, via a secure tunnel a request from a guest operating system to invoke an execution environment in a secure sandbox on a host operating system.
18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the secure tunnel is an encrypted communication path between the guest operating system and the host operating system and includes loop back networking.
19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the secure tunnel includes SMB file access through the guest operating system.
