it souds a good idea what i read there:) a sandbox???

[iravgupta]

How is it different from Sandboxie?

DARPA? Oh lord, lol, if I saw that thing connecting to DARPA for updates to the software I'd croak. I'm surprised a new program doesn't support Win7. Even once it does my guess is 64bit support won't happen until later if ever. It looks to me like a weaker Sandboxie, if that. I can't test it until they have Win 7 support, but seeing as I already use Sandboxie, I'm not sure I'd need this.

Hi,

Is there something new under the sun?
CommoIT, a french start up already provides such solutions for corporates clients with its Virtual Browser :

And such condom already exist since years with the free versions of Buffer Zone, and similar approaches with DefenseWall and Sandbioxie.

In all cases an interesting and effective protection against client/server threats.

-{ Quote: "They’ve licensed the run-time version of Oracle’s VM VirtualBox software (which I reviewed recently) and have created a stripped-down executable Windows XP environment in a Virtual Machine complete with Internet Explorer 7 and Adobe Acrobat Reader.

To the end user, this VM looks just like a browser launch icon. And when the software is running, it looks just like Internet Explorer 7 and Adobe Acrobat Reader, with only one minor difference - the apps have red borders in the windows.

Right now, the software is only available to enterprises and runs only on Windows XP and Windows Vista desktops - but a Windows 7 version as well as Firefox support is due to ship shortly and potentially, the company is looking to market it directly to end-users as well.

Coloured borders

Like OA/Buffer Zone and other similar apps = not original but :thumb:

FE hmm .......

Not saying it seems like **** because it "appears" to work as advertised. We can't test it as they don't let "the little people" DL it

The reason it might be attractive to people, is because it "looks" as if it's very simple to install and operate. Unlike many other solutions which require varying levels of skill/knowledge etc to set up and configure etc.

If ANY 3 letter agency etc etc is going to be involved in ANY way with our data communication between this product and them, count me out :P

@ kareldjag

Hi, indeed you're right about other previous sandbox solutions. The difference with this, from what i read is this, created a stripped-down executable Windows XP environment in a Virtual Machine complete with Internet Explorer 7 and Adobe Acrobat Reader.

[dw426]

I didn't even see that part about working hand in hand with governments. You can forget that. Yes, government agencies tend to have access to more secure technologies, but given the environment in which a lot of the world lives in at this time, I'll take my chances on the "less secure".

Has anyone seen this live? I'm curious what the footprint on the host system really is when this thing is running.

really good read and very good idea indeed:thumb:
