Possible Duplicates:
How can I limit lua possibilities (calling OS functions, modules, etc.)
How can I create a secure Lua sandbox? 

luaL_openlibs(m_pState);

I use this function to load all the libs.I would like to skip all the dangerous libs like IO but I just cant find any documentation on how to disable a lib.

How do I disable certain libs? Are there more dangerous libs that can gain the script access to the system?

    There are a number of SO questions on this already. For example, [How can I create a secure Lua sandbox?](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1224708/how-can-i-create-a-secure-lua-sandbox) and [How can I limit lua possibilities (calling OS functions, modules, etc.)](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3627954/how-can-i-limit-lua-possibilities-calling-os-functions-modules-etc). [See here](http://lua-users.org/wiki/SandBoxes) as well – Alex Aug 08 '11 at 04:39

Add a copy of linit.c to your project and remove any libraries that you deem dangerous. To remove individual functions, set them to nil. See also the source of the Lua demo.
