Introduction
The Anoubis Playground Feature allows you to execute applications in an environment which provides them with a virtual view of the file system. Write operations to the file system are intercepted transparently by the playground and modifications made by the application are not visible to other applications.
The owner of the playground can transfer individual files which have been modified to the production file system. Any remaining changes inside the playground can be discarded.
Thus playgrounds protect against undesired modifications of the local file system without the need to deny write access to applications. Playgrounds are particularly suited to secure complicated applications like web browsers. The administrator can configure content scanners which are used to verify files before they can be transferred to the production file system. For example a virus scanner can be used to scan all files before they are transferred from the insecure playground environment to the real file system.
