Not All Sandboxes Are Created Equal February 25, 2019 https://www.tripwire.com/state-of-s...ction/cyber-security/sandboxes-created-equal/
If security is the top priority, then obviously WDAG is the top contender for most people. Really looking forward to the final Windows Sandbox release, I think it can be quite the hit.
microsoft have source code so they know how to create good and light sandbox, I hope it will be good thing
I mean we already have sandboxie... And also I read (haven't researched this in-depth cuz there's at least another few months till the official release) that windows sandbox, when closed, will wipe the contents of the sandbox, which is deal breaking for many / majority of the programs that one would like to run in a sandbox, like me for example. Of course, it still has some uses, like sandboxing office files and the likes, but yeah...
It would surprise me if they didn't add an option for that. They said the same thing about WDAG and here we are today, with a checkbox to keep data on shutdown.
I don't believe this article was about sandboxes like Sandboxie and Windows Defender Application Guard. They were talking about sandboxes that are used to analyze malware, not sandboxes that are meant to protect against malware and exploits.
Well to be fair, I don't think sandboxie (idk about windows sandbox cuz I haven't read about it) will protect you against a hardware exploit like spectre or meltdown if you don't have any mitigations, like these exploits (the specific versions that can do that) can escape a vm... And for the ones that are patched, there are that many more unpatched and undiscovered... But you have higher chance of being hit by a lightning than encountering such exploit, of course spectre and meltdown have been abused and by now you should have mitigations enabled if you don't already have, I'm talking about newer vulnerabilities
Malware Sandboxing Firm VMRay Raises $10 Million September 17, 2019 https://www.securityweek.com/malware-sandboxing-firm-vmray-raises-10-million
Interesting work. Malware has been able to detect VM operation, and, I believe, Sandboxie too. It's not hard to add the detection for conventional virtual or restricted environments, which to be fair, were never aiming to be stealth like that. Of course, providing you use those protections and the malware abandons its attempts, that's rather sweet!
Sandbox in security: what is it, and how it relates to malware September 24, 2020 https://blog.malwarebytes.com/awareness/2020/09/sandbox-in-security/
Sandboxie is a unique and invaluable program IMO. Ok a VM may be better and more secure for some purposes, but for flexibility and relatively easy everyday use you can't beat Sandboxie
