Sandboxie Acquired by Invincea

Yeah, it's more of a head scratch then a security worry.
I'm curious to see how 42x64 updates to 43.

 

I use FF 32bit on a 64bit system... I only have plugincontainer in Start/Run. I use the same box for FF, just alternate profiles with the "firefox -p" Run entry.

 

I think that's best and how I use Firefox most of the time every day. But sometimes you have to allow the plugin access to the internet or you wont watch the video. That link below is an example. If you allow the plugin access to the net, the video runs automatically as you land in the page. If you don't allow the plugin access to the net, the video wont play. If you are using an script blocker, you have to allow cbssports and cbsimg.

Yep, works for me only with plugin Internet Access.
Thanks Bo. Good test.
Edit: just noticed. I don't have Protected Mode tic box.

 

That doesn't matter. Ticking PM or not doesn't make a difference regarding you having to allow the plugin access to the net.

Bo

 

Hmm, okay. Thought, I did some tweaking once in a while with PM.
Maybe not. I've slept since FFx32.
Just a head scratch as I had not noticed that tic box was MIA.

 

Question: If I don't use "Sandbox DefaultBox" for anything, is it safe to delete it?

 

Yes it is safe. You can recreate it with same name or any other name whenever you want to.

 

Yup it's just a basic 'default' box without special settings , no harm in removing or replacing it if you have created more personalized ones that suit your needs.

 

i would not delete it , not because doing it is harmful, but because "default box" is a good template to start with when testing an app for creating a customized sandbox.

for example , i tried to create a sandbox for an app from a customized sandbox i did before, i couldn't manage to make it works , unless i launched this app in "default box and compared why it works in it and why not in the one i created for it.

 

@guest
Agreed.
But you can actually delete it with no harm and that basic template is recreated when:
Create new sandbox > Enter a name for the new sandbox (any you want) > Copy sandbox settings from existing sandbox: (None)
When you select "None" a basic template is created again...

 

yes true too, but i prefer keep it , it doesn't hurt

 

I recently ran into an issue in relation to file mitigation size and download managers such as IDM. I had downloaded file disappearing when it came time to perform a Quick Recovery. To prevent duplication, I'll include the link to the Sandboxie forum post. I think you "might" need to be logged in to view it. I wasn't aware that SBIE treated IDM downloads this way, and am not sure if others were aware of it either. So I decided to mention it here.

Marzametal, I am not familiar with download managers but you are downloading. Downloads are downloads, the File migration setting is for files that reside in your computer that a sandboxed program wants to access and modify within the sandbox. Before a file can be modified by a sandboxed program, it has to be copied to the sandbox. If the file size is over the limit set by SBIE, then the file becomes read only. The File migration setting gives you the option to change the limit set by SBIE. Thats what that setting is for. I cant see how increasing the allowed file migration size helps solve your issue, you are not even getting a Sandboxie message 2102.

I have no problem with Sandboxie and IDM. I just recover it to my desktop and it works fine.

Code:

[IDM]

Enabled=y
ConfigLevel=7
AutoRecover=y
Template=WindowsFontCache
Template=BlockPorts
Template=LingerPrograms
Template=Chrome_Phishing_DirectAccess
Template=Firefox_Phishing_DirectAccess
Template=AutoRecoverIgnore
RecoverFolder=%Desktop%
BorderColor=#00FF00,ttl
AutoDelete=y
NeverDelete=n
DeleteCommand=%SystemRoot%\System32\cmd.exe /c RMDIR /s /q "%SANDBOX%"
BoxNameTitle=n
ForceProcess=idman.exe
NotifyStartRunAccessDenied=y
ProcessGroup=<StartRunAccess>,idman.exe,regsvr32.exe
ClosedIpcPath=!<StartRunAccess>,*

 

Thanks for your reply Bo...

I don't know what to tell ya' mate. That little changed worked. The reason I didn't receive the Sandboxie message 2102 is because I have unticked it for this particular sandbox. I am not courageous enough to waste another 15GB just to see if it'll throw up a warning.

While I agree with you that downloads are downloads, I still think we need some confirmation or a test or two on this. Maybe somebody with dedicated use of IDM could chime in to see how things are handled on their side in relation to low file mitigation size vs "x" GB downloads. IDM downloads split files, then appends them over and over, and causes more splits when a slot is freed up. Depending on which side of the fence you are sitting, one could see as split/appended files as well as the newly spawned split files as well as the final compiled file to be one massive download.

Lets say a 4GB ISO is downloaded, 8 splits to begin with. When one split is complete, it causes another split and so on and so on to the point where there are plenty of file snippets that all become appended in the correct order to finalise the compilation. So, 4GB worth of split files + x amount of GB created by completed splits spawning new splits + the final compiled 4GB file... that is approx 10GB. 2 more 4GB files cannot fit into the ~5GB free space.

Regardless, the change resulted in a win. Anyone else here use IDM with SBIE?

 

Ahhh, you've got IDM set up in its own sandbox. My setup lets IDM be called into my Firefox sandbox when downloads begin. However, I doubt running on its own or injected into an existing sandbox would change things. Thanks for your input.

Quoting from my last question...

Thank you for your reply, I greatly appreciate it.

I decided to get rid of Sandbox Defaultbox.

 

You are welcome. Yes I never lost focus on your question, that's why I answered directly and concisely to it and mentioned as an extra the possibility to re-create DefaultBox at any given moment.

 

You probably meant this in a sarcastic way, but I actually had to downgrade to v4, because of this stupid bug.

 

Anyone successfully use Sbie for testing new apps? I can get addons for apps I've already installed outside of Sbie to load fine, but I can rarely get an app to install in a sandbox. For example - i'd like to test this PDF tool...

http://www.pdfill.com/download.html

But - part way through the install my PC freezes & i have to do a hard shutdown - which is the case for most apps i've tried to install. The sandbox is set at default

 

Maybe the PDF-program wants to install a driver. You cant install a driver.

 

I tested installing the PDF tool, it installs sandboxed just fine for me. Overall, most programs that I test installing sandboxed, do. Try again using a new sandbox with default settings, make sure Drop rights is not ticked.
