Hi Thorsten,

my apologies for not getting back to you earlier; I am only slowly
getting back to my email.   I still develop Systrace at

 http://code.google.com/p/systrace/

However, work tends to keep me fairly busy, and I can only devote a
small amount of time to my open source projects.

For Linux, I developed a ptrace backend that is not very secure, but
is sufficient for sandboxing untrusted applications such as Firefox
running over Tor.  Ideally, there would be a kernel interface in Linux
that has the capabilities required by Systrace, but I am not aware of
such a thing.

Anyway, let me know if I can help somehow.

Niels.
