Generic Lua sandbox library for dynamic data analysis — dynamic library

The Lua sandbox is a library allowing customized control over the Lua execution environment including functionality like global data preservation/restoration on shutdown/startup, output collection in textual or binary formats and an array of parsers for various data types (Nginx, Apache, Syslog, MySQL and many RFC grammars).

Sandboxes provide a dynamic and isolated execution environment for data parsing, transformation, and analysis. They allow access to data without jeopardizing the integrity or performance of the processing infrastructure. This broadens the audience that the data can be exposed to and facilitates new uses of the data (i.e. debugging, monitoring, dynamic provisioning, SLA analysis, intrusion detection, ad-hoc reporting, etc.)

Features of lua-sandbox:

 - small: memory requirements are as little as 8 KiB for a basic sandbox
 - fast: microsecond execution times
 - stateful: ability to resume where it left off after a restart/reboot
 - isolated: failures are contained and malfunctioning sandboxes are
   terminated. Containment is defined in terms of restriction to the operating
   system, file system, libraries, memory use, Lua instruction use, and output
   size.
