Defensewall, Sandboxie, and PatchGuard

I know people have been wanting a 64-bit version of DefenseWall, but that it's not possible at the moment because of PatchGuard. It sounds like Sandboxie has almost or as much protection on 64-bit systems now, even though it was originally though impossible because of PatchGuard. I know DefenseWall and Sandboxie are two different programs, but couldn't the technique for bypassing PatchGuard in Sandboxie possibly be applied to DefenseWall? I know DefenseWall and Sandboxie's developers are obviously competitors, but isn't there a chance Sandboxie's developers could help DefenseWall's a bit with the PatchGuard issue?

 

somebody correct me but i dont think there is any major difference between the 32 & 64 bits version.

i am not even sure the 32 bits version does any kernel patching.

A chance? Maybe if there's a good deal in return, I highly doubt anyone would help their competitor for free.

@moontan: Look at the latest beta.

 

Does Sandboxie at least prove that 64-bit sandbox and HIPS programs can work? Is there even an attempt to create a 64-bit Defensewall? I know this has been beaten to death, but I'm just wondering.

 

Before making an attempt, I need to know I can make it's protection the same level as 32 bit. Right now the only way I see is to bypass PG.

 

Latest Sandboxie beta 3.55 has virtually the same level of protection for x64 as for 32-bit.

Using Drop-my-rights on Sandboxie x64 is no longer necessary.

 

Yes, by bypassing PG.

 

Aye! So, out of curiosity, do you plan on doing the same thing or would the work not be worth it if Microsoft patch the kernel in the right spots, hence destroying hours of hours of work with just an ordinary Tuesday patch?

 

It's a good question. I'll get some time to see MS reaction on PG bypass.

 

Is it possible to work with Microsoft on a solution ?

 

I would hope so.

 

Theoretically- yes, practically- have some doubts in it.

 

I hope next news about 64 bits version will be good.

 

Microsoft needs to get rid of 32bit and we will be in good shape.
