vido 0.3.2

Wrap commands in throwaway virtual machines

vido is a sudo-like command wrapper. Commands run inside a new

kernel, with passthrough access to the filesystem, whitelisted devices, and (if enabled) the network.

The main uses are:

• Experimentation. Make small changes to the kernel and test them immediately.

• Privilege elevation. Commands run as root even if you don’t have root privileges in the first place.

• Regression testing. Run the same command against multiple kernels.

• Kernel debugging. The –gdb flag will run the virtual kernel inside a debugger.
