+ o Major features (security):
+ - Use the seccomp2 syscall filtering facility on Linux to limit
+ which system calls Tor can invoke. This is an experimental,
+ Linux-only feature to provide defense-in-depth against unknown
+ attacks. To try turning it on, set "Sandbox 1" in your torrc
+ file. This is an experimental feature, however, and some things
+ may break, so please be ready to report bugs. We hope to add
+ support for better sandboxing in the future,
+ including more fine-grained filters, better division of
+ responsibility, and support for more platforms. This work has
+ been done by Cristian-Matei Toader for Google Summer of Code.
