I would need experts to let me know. I am making this interactive chroot directory jail for external users and I don’t want to disclose my information like /bin, /etc, /lib64, and /dev.

How can I protect from external interference?

Regards,
Manvir Singh”

What measures are done to prevent the user from adding their own binaries (+ libraries they depend upon) to the chrooted jail to evade the chroot restrictions? They don’t need to put their uploaded libs to {,/usr}/lib64 in order to use them (they can ask the linker to perform the linking explicitly).

I’ve performed your document steps twice along with the suggestion made by sizeur, but still I’m unable to execute all commands that we’ve added for the particular user.

Upon successful login, I can’t see anything inside /home/.

Please Guide

I had to change the shell of chroot user to bash by “chsh -s /bin/bash chroot-user“. However Backspace, Tab, Del, and arrow keys not working in the terminal (using ssh). Delete throws a space. Moreover, nano throws “Error opening terminal: xterm-256color.” Please let me if I miss something. Looking for your help. Thanks in advance.
