Sandboxing & Internet Banking

Hi All

I would like a few thoughts on which Sandbox type of application such as Geswall Pro (Policy) and Sandboxie would be better (more secure) for the specific purpose of internet banking. (And reasons why)

Thank you

Terry

 

dont forget about DefenseWall terryit has a banking mode

 

i always use SandBoxie only in this kind of special events when it comes to doing online shopping.asuring that only internet explorer is allow to connect to the web and ofcourse with alot of restriction and also the content of the sandbox has to be deleted,just in case of a keylogger inside it.i feel secure by doing it like that.

 

Hi jpmonge

You reminded me about DefenseWall (Which you use) yet you appear to prefer Sandboxie, despite including Defensewall as "a keylogger killer" in your credits.

Why do you prefer Sandboxie? Yet not use it all the time?

Thanks

Terry

 

the thing is that iam new to defensewall and i use sandboxie only for banking and i have sandboxie for long time.thats why.(i know how to use it for banking)
if you ask me which one i prefer to use for daily usage ofcourse i will say defensewall
for the easy of use but for banking i use sandboxie only
note: wife dont like sandboxie for daily use,she prefer DefenseWall.
when i get to know DefenseWall more i will not use sandboxie at all maybe.

 

Is there any evidence that with sandboxie in default config. users are compromised at online banking,just a question !?!

In my experience i do online banking for years (with and without SBIE) and never met any problem.

 

Peter,
I have downloaded SB and would like to install but could do with knowing
a couple of things such as when needing to update my AV etc, or do IB, is it possible
to simply click and lose all that might be in SB from minutes ago, and then reopen SB clean, without losing the net connection, or needing to restart ?

 

Thanks Pete, I shall give it a whirl to see how I go.

 

Absolutely NOT.
Sandbox programs do not provide anonymity when it comes with logging in your passwords or any data.
You need data encryption or anti-keylogger for that.

 

SandboxIE can be configured to stop the sending of keylogged data back to the malicious server/person, deny internet access to everything in the sandbox except the browser, and deny access of anything running in the sandbox to any data outside the sandbox, so who cares if a keylogger gets in if the sandbox is set right? Also, I THINK DefenseWall stops most keyloggers from even starting up, I THINK. So, sandboxes are perfectly fine. Set up SandboxIE correctly, install a full virtual system like Returnil/ShadowDefender, add a good antivirus and a good image backup system and who cares what runs, 1 reboot or image loading and whatever happened is GONE.

 

You pretty much sums it up to stay happy with online transactions.

 

Hi

Why would you need anonymity?

Thanks

 

You don't and can't. He was worried about keyloggers, and SandBoxie configured properly either kills them or keeps them from sending the logged data out.

 

Any link to, or information about these settings of Sandboxie?

Thanks.

 

They are spread out all over, but a good place to start is here: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=212408 and http://sandboxie.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2803&highlight=tepe2.
