Perseus Sheild – Open-source browser sandbox for isolating malicious links

Summary: Perseus Sheild is an open-source browser isolation sandbox that runs Google Chrome inside a Docker container with a virtual display and Web-VNC access, isolating browsing from the host OS. It enables safe opening of untrusted links without virtual machines or complex setup, targeting phishing and malware research.

What it does

It runs Chrome in a Docker container with a virtual display and Web-VNC, creating disposable browsing sessions that isolate activity from the host system.

Who it's for

Security engineers, developers, and users who regularly handle suspicious or potentially malicious links.

Why it matters

It prevents host compromise from unknown or short-lived threats by isolating browsing sessions without relying on antivirus detection.
