CageFS, beforehand known as SecureLVE, is a security augmentation of Cloud Linux. It makes a virtualized document framework and set of instruments for every end client. This ensures every client can see just their own documents and apparatuses. The division is protected for shell scripts, CGI scripts, and cronjobs also. CageFS encloses each mutual facilitating client in his/her own private virtual space. It contains an arrangement of apparatuses which contain the clients in its own asset limits or a ‘pen’. Every client will have its own particular completely utilitarian CageFS, with all the framework documents, instruments, and so on.

 

Advantages

 1) Taking care of Hackers

CageFS keeps programmers from filtering the server for defenseless documents, and raising benefits to pick up root access.

2)Virtual Private Region

CageFS guarantees that clients can’t see some other client and will have no real way to distinguish the nearness of different clients in the server.

3) Free Programming

CageFS turns out to be a piece of Cloud Linux OS and there is no extra charge for it.

4) Seclusion from Server Setup documents

CageFS additionally keeps clients from reviewing the server design records, for example, Apache config documents.

5) Similarity with cPanel

CageFS accompanies module for WHM that permits us to oversee and overhaul CageFS. We can see and in addition change the default conduct of the clients utilizing the frontend board itself. Plesk, DirectAdmin, InterWorx and ISP Chief are likewise completely upheld and can be incorporated with CageFS.

6) Simplicity of Establishment and Design

CageFS has the preferred standpoint that it can consequently recognize cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, ISP Chief and InterWorx design from the server. This prompts less time expected to introduce the product and arrange it.

7) Simplicity of Overseeing Clients

CageFS can be worked in two modes and flipping of clients between modes is conceivable from the front-end. The two bolstered modes are as per the following.

Enabled for all, aside from those that are handicapped.

Debilitated for all, aside from those that are empowered.

The first mode is helpful for creation operation, where we can add every new client naturally to CageFS. The second mode is helpful while you test CageFS, as it permits you to empower one by one for your clients.

8) Usage of/tmp

Already all clients kept in touch with the frameworks/tmp registry, which once in a while would get full from a runaway script or ineffectively coded application. With CageFS every client keeps in touch with a/tmp registry inside their home catalog, enhancing both security and dependability.

9) Client and Framework Access

You’re actually in your own surroundings now. No taking a gander at different clients, their procedures, or what’s going on the server. You won’t have the capacity to view what different clients are signed in by means of SSH. You’ll even just access particular doubles.

 

Commands:

A client under CageFS has an exceptionally restricted arrangement of orders they’re ready to keep running from the shell. Basically you ought to have all that you need and nothing you don’t. For instance, here is the yield of the “top” order on a non-CageFS server:

CageFS

 

CageFS

 

As you can plainly see the client running “top” with CageFS can just see their running procedures and that’s it (different clients, framework forms, and so forth).

In a mutual facilitating environment, CPU and IO utilization are the most basic bottlenecks. At the point when a client introduces a CPU hungry module/programming in his record, then different clients facilitated in the server are denied of the assets. With CageFS this situation can be totally ignored, bringing about higher server solidness and security. This eventually brings about less bolster calls and henceforth more satisfied clients. This will start a chain of occasions eventually bringing about business development and more benefit.
