Sandboxie Plus 1.0.7 / Classic 5.55.7

Sandboxie Plus

Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC.

Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later.

Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing.

Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini.

Sandboxie 1.0.7 Plus / 5.55.7 Classic changes:

Added

  • added experimental option "CreateToken=y" to create a new token instead of repurposing an existing one
  • added option "DisableRTBlacklist=y" allowing to disable the hardcoded runtime class blacklist
  • added new template "DeviceSecurity" to lock down access to device drivers on the system. Note: This template requires RuleSpecificity being available to work properly
  • added option to set a custom ini editor in the Plus UI #1475
  • added option "LingerLeniency=n" to solve issue #997

Changed

  • reworked syscall invocation code in the driver
  • Win32k hooking is now compatible with HVCI #1483

Fixed

  • fixed memory leak in driver (conf_user.c)
  • fixed issue with file renaming in open paths introduced in 1.0.6
  • fixed issue causing Chromium browsers not closing properly #1496
  • fixed issue with start.exe #1517 #1516
  • fixed SandMan issue with reused process IDs
  • fixed KmdUtil sometimes not properly terminating the driver #1493

Removed

  • removed OpenToken as it is only a shorthand for UnrestrictedToken=y and UnfilteredToken=y set together
