EQSecure V4 Beta, Morc calling Orson, come in Solcroft

If you select your media player as a ForceProcess then any media file that you wish to play will open in a sandbox. This is according to one of the experts over at Sandboxie Forum. Personally, I've never tried it.

Later...

 

That is why I like policy sandboxes:
- they allow DMR rights to be updated (e.g. mp3 files or wma files)
- they allow media files ( e.g. mp3 or wma) downloaded with P2P programs to be run as untrusted.

It is not an all or nothing solution. In 2006 SBIE could not do this, any members buying music and using SBIE?

 

That is totally as expected.

 

Here is my testing.

With latest SBIE, i used isolated IE to add 3 files in the Sandbox( Virtual HD) Desktop. One jpg, one avi and one exe. I then navigated to the sandbox> Virtual HD> Desktop and executed all one by one. jpg and avi files opened in image viewer and media player as un-isolated. Exe was isolated on execution.

With EQS Sandbox, same testing: All( including exe) were un-isolated.

GW, DW and SafeSpace will isolate all of them.

 

That is not ideal, but i would have to play with it for a while to see for myself. I haven't used it for a while, the new version is different.
But aigle, although i agree, i don't know why one would navigate to the sandbox to play media files. I still agree that if that's the behavior, it's a bug or an unwelcome problem.

 

Hi, I don,t know the practical implications of it.

 

Sandbox your imageviewer and mediaplayer?

/C.

 

Cerxes! wat do u want to say?

 

He means to sandbox the programs used to open the files (imgviewer and mediaplayer).

 

That's what my above post suggested. In Sandboxie in Settings you have a listing called Forced Programs. There you can list programs that when executed open sandboxed. Windows Media Player if listed there in Forced Programs would open sandboxed when triggered by the media you wish to play.

Geswall automatically lists most applications as untrusted. In Sandboxie you have to "tell" it that it's untrusted.

No, its not like this.

Say i have a jpg image file downloaded from internet via isolated browser. I download and save it to desktop, and then double click on it to open. Now double clicking the image file will call my default image viewer to open the file. In case of GW n DW, the image viewer will be isolated automatically irrespective of the fact that u have added them in program list or not.

I tried same with sanboxie, but here the image viewer was not isolated. But of course SBIE is different as a file downloaded on desktop goes to virtual HD desktop( so I have to navigate there manually to double click on it in order to open it).

I think the problem here is that the file in case of SBIE is marked un-isolated as it is opened via explorer.exe that is trusted. Not sure though.

I tried another thing. I opened a pdf file via isolated Free Commander and EQS sandbox launched foxit PDF reader as isolated.

 

BTW isolated( sandboxed) applications have a thin blue border around, like SafeSpace etc, though the border here is not very clear and disappears many times.

 

If EQS sandbox is the same as SBIE, I'll be more than happy.

Anyway, there's something I found with v3.41: in the registry protection settings section, if you make a rule to monitor the startup status of all services (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\*ControlSet*\Services\*, Start) and try to disable a service via services.msc, eqs will show the popup and then freeze.

Anyone else able to reproduce the problem?

 

I found some problems with reg module when I used it but I can,t be sure whether all these were actual bugs or some were juat my misunderstandings.
Problem here is that u have no proper English forum to post about EQS and get help.

 

It,s not the same, it,s SandboxEQS! Sure i am excited to see this feature.

 

A little bit ridiculous, isn't it? Someone someday will wake up, I presume.

 

It,s a one-man show( as I know) and is free. I really can,t expect too much from a single person and to be totally free.

Also there are language barriers!

 

I thought this was a team of gods Not just one? WOW!

 

Almost all the HIPS projects are one man show- there is no WOW here.

 

BTW there is only one GOD, I believe.

Ilya is right that most HIPS are one-man show.

 

Then replace the "WOW" by "I'm impressed".... and gods by elites...

 

what is it BTW?

 

By the way

 

Contrary to many gods!


Edit: yep BTW= By the way
Thanks Antarctica!

 

To there forum,you can get help...
If you can't use chinese forum ,pls write your problems , I'll help u to ask EQS_Dev..
