Network Security Considerations
|
||||
-------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Keep in mind that 0x0 can fetch files from URLs. This includes your local
|
||||
network! You should take precautions so that this feature cannot be abused.
|
||||
0x0 does not (yet) have a way to filter remote URLs, but on Linux, you can
|
||||
use firewall rules and/or namespaces. This is less error-prone anyway.
|
||||
|
||||
For instance, if you are using the excellent `FireHOL <https://firehol.org/>`_,
|
||||
it’s very easy to create a group on your system and use it as a condition
|
||||
in your firewall rules. You would then run the application server under that
|
||||
group.
