Wapka Provide Native Support for Lua Scripting Language.

Wapka Developed highly customize Lua Sandbox Environment on top of Standard Lua 5.1

Wapka provides a modified version of Lua Environment which differs in some ways from standard Lua 5.1.

Differences from Standard Lua

Features that are not available

• dofile(), loadfile(), and the io package is removed as wapka don’t provide direct file system access.

• The package package, including require() and module(), as it depends heavily on direct filesystem access.

• Most of the os package, as it allows manipulation of the process and executing of other processes.

  • os.clock(), os.date(), os.difftime(), and os.time() remain available.

• Most of the debug package, as it allows manipulation of Lua state and metadata in ways that can break sandboxing.

  • debug.traceback() remains available.

• string.dump(), as it may expose internal data.

• collectgarbage(), gcinfo(), and the coroutine package have not been reviewed for security.

 

Features that have been modified

 

• print() non printable data will be converted to json before printing. So when you try to print Lua table it will become JSON object. 

• pcall() and xpcall() cannot catch certain errors, particularly timeout errors.

• tostring() does not include pointer addresses.

• string.match() has been patched to limit the recursion depth and to periodically check for a timeout.

• The Lua 5.2 __pairs and __ipairs metamethods are supported by pairs() and ipairs().

 

Features that have been Added

• dump()  similar to print but it will show human readable format for various data type good for debuging.

• include()  to import any page by name.

• loadstring() to import any lua code from other source and return as function.

• os.exit() & server.error() Custom Error Handler
