Dear all

I'll be executing code of questionable behavior on my machine, as part 
of a security-related assignment.

Is there a way of allowing the code to run (e.g. trinity, bo2k etc) and  
monitoring its activities, without hosing my machine? I thought of 
creating a special user for this puprose, and then chrooting him in a 
directory with minimal binaries to work with (ls, car, gdb etc).

But I fear that creating a too restricted chrooted jail won't do, 
because if the tool cannot create network connections or find the 
necessary libraries, it will obviously malfunction.

Is it possible to create a monitored, controlled, virtual playground for 
executing potentially nasty code on one's machine?

Thanks
