Überblick
Library for Linux that makes using posix capabilities easy
Verlauf
libcap-ng is Steve Grubb's Linux capability library and utility suite, designed to make POSIX capability programming easier than the older libcap API.
The libcap-ng site states the design goal directly: make programming with POSIX capabilities easier than the traditional libcap library. Its README demonstrates common use cases such as dropping all capabilities, keeping selected capabilities, checking capability state, and retaining capabilities across UID changes.
The project paired the C library with administrative tools. netcap reports listening network processes and their capabilities, pscap reports privileged processes, filecap searches for files with file capabilities, and cap-audit can audit capability checks when built with the optional eBPF-based tooling.
libcap-ng was adopted by Linux distributions because it gives application developers and packagers a smaller API for privilege dropping, while giving administrators tools to inspect capability exposure across a running system.
Developers use capng_clear, capng_update, capng_apply, and related calls to drop or retain Linux capabilities. Administrators use pscap, netcap, and filecap to find over-privileged processes and files.
In package-manager terms, libcap-ng is a security plumbing package: it is rarely user-facing, but it makes least-privilege patches shorter and more reviewable. That is exactly the kind of small library that changes whether downstream packages actually drop privileges.
