    Maybe Mr Tzuk has figured a way to stop this method being bypassed maybe ??

    Never really been there to be honest, Only contacted Mr Tzuk once.. Because i was half drunk and i deleted my email folder Containing my license Details.. Support was very fast less than about 8hours.

    I use sandboxie all the time i love it...

    You can certainly try it; but if it screws up the system then yeah, you need some other way of reverting back the system. SRP is meant to be a line of defense against software unknowingly making changes to the system.

    This thread is a prime example of why I no longer have an 'arsenal' of security. Give me a few basic tools to use, a good image to restore to, and let me be about my business, whether that business is using my computer or giving it a labotomy.

    The simple reality is that you will never be secure tommorrow. If that is true then I will simply restore to yesterday.

    This is so true. You only need 2 layers. Protection and back up. That combination will catch everything.:D

    I totally agree that image backups are crucial. However, I would add data encryption as the third layer of defense.

    Just dropped by to say I've had a chance to look at this "crack". And I use the word crack very loosely. It seems to me that all this joke does is cause Sandboxie Control to display that the license is activated. The extended features don't actually work.

    LowWaterMark, I've read your comment #22, and I agree there is nothing wrong with discussing the general, principle issue of cracks to software. And I don't even mind if Sandboxie has been (in this case, perhaps unjustifiably) used as the starting point for the discussion. But if the crack doesn't actually work, would you consider editing the first post to acknowledge this?

    My post was simply in regards to the question of whether this was a legitimate topic for discussion, not whether the crack actually works. Several posters have replied that it didn't work for them. However, the thread starter seems to think it did work, at least on his 32-bit version of Windows. If the crack doesn't actually work, then that's great and it makes this a non-issue.

    Only if the thread starter confirms that it really doesn't work for him after all. It's his post.

    Actually he posted screenshots showing the extended features (at least using two sandboxes at a time) did in fact work..unless he's pulling our leg with a legitimate copy, which is entirely possible.

    Brilliant :thumb: :argh: I can picture this

    Suppose your concerned about security, how dumb must you be to try a crack of a security product, when a fair part of malware consists of fake AV's or Fake security products.

    Well just for sake of argument, imagine I try a cracked version and know the risk, my adreline level must reach the heights of a sky-diver, before bail out, when launching this crack as ADMIN. First things you would want to know whether you are pawned, so you run your copy of Hitman Pro and MBAM, like all other youtube 'testing experts' do

    Pfew, utter relief, I am not busted, so my body pumps up more endorfines in 30 secs in my body than last New York Marathon champion managed in two hours.

    Hyped up due to all these positive stimuli, I open Sandboxie and see it is fully lisenced, I start to breath faster, this shallow breathing causes Carbon Dioxide level to increase in my blood and a strange light arousements adds to the mix of emotions I am allready having, when the CO2 hits my brain.

    I shout out loud: Yes, it works. Yes Yes. Yes making frantic arm lurches. This self imposed Neuro Lungistic Programming of giving my self a huge reward causes dopamines to hit my cerebellum like arrows from a roman army of archers when launching a field battle. As a result my mouth start to foam like a rothweiler with rabies and my eyes pop-out making Marty Fieldman look as cute as the rabbit featuring in the Bright Eyes.

    I can't think straight, I can't look straight, I can't sit straight behind my PC anymore. I have just received a touch of Tzuk for free, I am taking of from the sandbox, rocketing in to the cloud, not realising it is a fake crack with only 30 days trial left.

    Provided you edit out the location where the crack was found, I'd see no issue. I assume this crack was tested by Tzuk and shown not to work, and not just a damage control move (like one is actually needed, even he knows he can't keep piracy away permanently). No, I'm not trying to start something by saying that, it's simply that there WAS a screenshot showing two sandboxes running (by the way, what happened to that screenshot?), so, unless it's a deliberate photo edit, the crack works.

    "the_sly_dog" edited and deleted several of his posts in this thread because he didn't actually want to hurt SandboxIE. (I have all the original posts and images.) He was just trying to point out how bad the cracker situation has become, and how quickly they attacked the newest version of SBIE - a matter of a couple days only. o_O

    He sent me the video link to review. It does show a working SandboxIE config that was not a 30-day trial. (I like the desktop background, by the way.)

    Anyway, I think this thread has gone on long enough. "All software" gets cracked. None of us like it. Certainly the developers don't, or the people who honestly pay for their software. It's a sad thing that I guess we have to live with. Though, I would love for someone to come up with something that allows us to fight against this. It's awful that people spend so much effort to steal someone else's work. Heck, if they'd develop something instead with all that effort and expertise, I'd bet it could be something great. (But, they're probably afraid some cracker would come along and steal it from them without paying. :rolleyes: )

    "What a world!!" :doubt:
