    I have seen a lot of members here lately that combine Defensewall and Sandboxie.
    I don't remember having seen anybody using GesWall and Sandboxie. Is this possible? Has anybody tried this?

    Please use either, it just makes no sense combining policy sandbox with an application based virtual sandbox, combining shadowserver/powershadow/returnil with a policy based sandboxhas at least has one (1) purpose (clear all colledted data and changes).

    Combining a policy bases and applicaton based virtualisation application is starting to drive backwards, sure you can cope with the counter steering, sure it drives slower (less gears backwards than forwards), sure you have only one screen wiper at the back (because you drive more slowly, you even do not find it a big drawback that its capacity is way less than the front sreen wipers, which are more or less useless anyway now you started to drive backwards, maybe some car maker could do some value engineering and bring out a entry model with no front screen wipers, only one gear for driving forward, may be the money saved could be used for a second reverse gear, wow that would be magnificent)


    AAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH:cautious: :blink: o_O :gack:

    Please . . . please . . .

    Yeah. I should probably clarify that I don't intend to use both. I'm happy with SBIE.

    I was just wondering, since I've seen people using SBIE+DW, but I haven't seen anybody using SBIE+GW.

    Good on you :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:


    Obviously GW being somewhat more difficult to use, it also seems to have a positive impact on its users (using common sense) :eek: :eek: :eek:

    I don,t agree to combine two of them, whether it is GW plus SBIE or DW plus SBIE.

    I will prefer to add something diifferent like a Behav Blocker etc.

    I would think, Geswall and Threatfire would be better.

    That's because some members like to play with these combinations and like to solve the possible issues. It's the challenge to make it possible, what looked impossible. After that back to normal. What else is there to do at Wilders ? You have to post about something, otherwise your post counter doesn't increase. :)

    Hello HURST,

    I am in full agreement with both Kees1958 and aigle that there is nothing to be gained as far as security is concerned in regards to combining a policy restriction sandbox with a virtualization sandbox. I am also inclined and partial to pairing DW or GW with an intelligent behavior blocker.


    Peace & Gratitude,

    Luckily I triggered some reactions, CognitoErgoSum is a die hard DW user, he balances sanity into the right direction. For which I thank him :thumb:

    In Holland the saying goes "when you trigger others (tease), you also have to be able to receive (a witty response)"

    So yes problably too soon, but much too late when looking at all those policy/application virtialisation/partition-disk virtualisation defense layers so pain stakenly build by other members", after all Trjam says that one layer is enough aslong as it is a policy HIPS (sandbox) layer.

    What is your oponion on this?
    a) Policy HIPS are the strongest HIPS around (for the average John/Jane PC)
    b) When using a router it is all you need, for ease of use you van
    B1) throw in a behavior blocker (ThreatfIre)
    B2) throw in an AV
    B3) throw in a HKCU/files protector like drive sentry

    Getting people to look at what they are doing from a different perspective is one of the best things you can do for them.
    I'm not knowledgeable enough to comment on your questions.
    But what works for me are the programs that I can use without causing too many problems for myself.
    I'm putting together a new pc in a few weeks, finally, and still don't know if I'd be better off with Geswall or Defensewall.
