Ghostscript trapped in a sandbox
Ghost Trap is used to securely convert PostScript and PDF files from untrusted sources into images. It's a modified distribution of the GPL Ghostscript PDL interpreter secured and sandboxed using Google Chrome sandbox technology. The objective of the project is to bring best-of-breed security to Ghostscript's command-line conversion applications on MS Windows.
