About

BioView is a cross-platform, networked data acquisition system. The Monitor GUI connects to a BioView server (started automatically on localhost) to discover devices, stream data in real time, and record sessions. USRP (UHD) devices are supported out of the box.

Permissions

3 permissions weaken the sandbox. Flatsonar asks before installing.

  • all devices (/dev): webcams, disks, raw hardware
    --device=all
  • X11 display: X11 lets apps read input and windows of other apps
    --socket=x11
  • full access to your home folder
    --filesystem=home
  • inter-process communication (needed for X11)
    --share=ipc
  • network
    --share=network
  • X11 display, only when Wayland is unavailable
    --socket=fallback-x11
  • Wayland display
    --socket=wayland

Nobody has confirmed that the publisher controls this app id. Flatsonar warns before installing.

  • org.bioview.BioView claims the domain bioview.org; only its owner can prove that
    publisher:namespace
  • the build has network access: it can download things the manifest does not list
    build-options:--share=network
  • fetches from the network during the build (nothing to audit beforehand): pip3 install --prefix=/app mako numpy setuptools wheel
