Every prior temporally-specialized syscall filtering approach needs modifications to the kernel or the application, which rules it out for third-party code. SysComb keys filters to application state through eBPF and lets you pick between a seccomp-like strategy guaranteeing no new privileges after a state transition and a least-privilege strategy applying the most restrictive filter per state, with overhead comparable to built-in kernel mechanisms. (arXiv 2608.26871) That makes attack-surface reduction viable for sandboxing agent-executed processes you don't control, which is exactly the case where you can't patch anything.
