      Instead of giving it a LLVM based shell, can you give it an actual shell in a container? Maybe backed by AppArmor or SELinux to prevent breakouts

        Tempting, but in order to reduce the potential attack surface, I’m likely just to create a simple simulator instead now.

        If it’s good enough to fool the first few interactions of an automated script, that’ll probably do. That’ll give me the curl/wget target they’re trying to insect me with, most likely.

        It means I can potentially create a single binary docker instance that can be reset practically instantly by deleting/reimporting.
