nsjail Four-Layer Security Isolation:

  Layer 1: Linux Namespaces
  - PID NS: Isolate process tree
  - NET NS: Isolate network stack
  - MNT NS: Isolate filesystem mounts
  - UTS NS: Isolate hostname
  - IPC NS: Isolate IPC
  - USER NS: Isolate user/group IDs

  Layer 2: seccomp-bpf
  - Allow only whitelisted syscalls
  - Block: ptrace, mount, reboot
  - Block: socket (optional)

  Layer 3: cgroups v2
  - CPU time limits
  - Memory caps
  - PID count limits
  - I/O bandwidth limits

  Layer 4: chroot / pivot_root
  - Read-only root filesystem
  - Minimal mount points
  - No /proc, /sys access
