AppRanger add in the cloud:)

i have been testing this software and for what i see they dont showed what is been sandbox but if anything is download from any sandbox application will be follow,analize for any bad behabiour their sandbox aproach is kind of diferent from those to sandboxie but similar in a way

 

i am a crazy,risky tester,trust me on this onethis pc is a tester pcwithout any vm,but i dont have any files picture or what ever,just my old ie6 browser ad ofcourse the security software i have in my signiturei also have my xp original cd recovery/or use system restore

 

I totally agree with you!

 

Think I am gonna give this a shot this weekend. Looks pretty reasonably priced for all the bells and whistles. Has anyone tested this- or found test results- of appranger against real malware?

 

Here's the thing, I've very weary of trying this because I have no idea if it's working or not; there's not indication that things that are supposed to be sandboxed are. I also have a slight issue with it because it seems that it is very easily defeatable; even though it is service-based all you need to do is terminate one of the two exes and AppRanger will not work because it will not be able to connect to the service. This, of course, is fixed with a reboot.

If I'm wrong please let me know.

 

i did it is good try it for your self

 

did you tested againts termination?

 

because i try to terminate it and the service start again without a reboot,i tried diferent methods and one of them was i tried to terminate appranger using malware defender terminate processes and appranger always comes back alive

 

I just terminated with AnVir

 

did you terminated the services too?

 

Nope. I just terminated both exe. I thought services cannot be terminated, but they can be stopped manually.

 

strange cause i tried to terminate it and couldnt it restarts but i may also tried your method to see,thanks chaves anyways i will send the developer an email to let him know about this situation

 

strange i couldnt terminated manually like you said

 

chaves that is so strange cause i just noticed i have 3 procesess
well the other one just went away

 

I was able to terminate it with AnVir SS, but I believe the freeware version uses the same terminate method. Can you tell me, does AppRanger's sandbox function like SBIE or defensewall, which is policy based?

 

it is similar to defensewall,isolates the browser,messenger,email clients,and what ever applications you want to protect,the one that looks like appranger is appguard but with a scaner by the way i tried also to terminate apprang
er using Comodo D+ and couldnt terminate it,it always cames back nicely
i will try with anvir to confirm this,where can i get this anvir terminator?

 

Here. Get the free one.

 

thanks,i will try to terminate appranger and i will tell you

 

@n8chavez,just tried it with anvir free and same,the appranger protection remain stable ,you may have an isue,the only thing i was able to terminate was the tray icon but the service is always alive and when i tried to terminate the service the terminated Gui comes back too,it resisted to be terminated

 

I noticed that too. When the exe is terminated it does restart. But AR is always "disconnected" and essentially doesn't function without a restart. Also, it seems that LooknStop does not start when AppRanger is installed.

I think I might need a little help with configuring it, because I can't seem to get the sandbox to protect anything, or at least test its effectiveness.

 

you have to white listed

 

open appranger console and hit where it says sandbox,then find protected applications and configure there the level of protection you desire also you can add more executables files to be protected

 

also make sure you have enforce file downloads check

 

why you ppl try so hard to terminated appranger , try to understand it first , which seems very unclear , there is "sandbox" feature over there, but u cant clean/flash it , or even see what is going on inside him or if it catch anything

so weird approach to "sandbox" mechanism

i test it against 0 - days real nasty malware and it says "block" when i try to run them , it doesn't tell how it been block or if it find it infected by his scanner or his behavior blocker ...

my impression its kinda gay software any one got other impression ?


cheers

 

i forgot to mention it is also anti-executable by the way if you run malware againts appranger when is on high is block for sure but lower it to low malware will run yes but sandbox it may not show the # but any behabiour will be monitor for suspicious actions and if you run a scan it will fast identified the runing malware that is already sandbox and can be easily deleted with no problem
