Harvard researchers take aim at Shellshock-like woes with new scripting language

["Avdagic, Indir" <iavdagic () SEAS HARVARD EDU>]

Hi all,

Harvard SEAS researchers are putting the finishing touches on a scripting language built to mitigate the damage caused 
by ShellShock and similar vulnerabilities.
The language, called Shill<http://shill.seas.harvard.edu/>, was designed to limit shell-based scripts so they can't 
access resources beyond what is specifically needed for the task at hand.
Shill scripting language limits the rights of shell programs to what is necessary to get the job done.

Best,
