Sandbox

Sandbox, a security software .

As the name suggests, it can be regarded as a container. Everything in it can be overturned. In the military, sandboxes are commonly used to simulate the terrain of war zones. Have you seen this? If you don't need it, you can flatten the sand and rebuild it.

In a sense of global environment, the name sandbox belongs to the security software. It is suitable for computer vertualization.

Classification

Sandbox is a kind of security software, you can put a program into the sandbox to run, so that all files and registries created, modified and deleted will be redirected by [https://opensource.com/resources/virtualization#:~:text=Virtualization%20is%20the%20process%20of,on%20a%20computer%20system%20simultaneously. virtualization], which means that all operations are virtual, real files and registries. The table will not be changed, which ensures that the virus cannot modify the key parts of the system and damage the system. In addition, sandboxes generally have partial or complete program control functions similar to HIPS, and some high-risk activities of the program will be prohibited, such as driver installation, low-level disk operations, etc. At present, there are two main types of sandboxes, one is the traditional sandbox that uses virtual technology, and the other is the sandbox that uses policy restrictions (the policy restriction sandbox is more similar to HIPS, it does not create a virtual environment, can restrict high-risk behaviors, and can be rolled back).

Sand table type:

1. Defensewall (policy restricted type)

2. Geswall (policy restricted type)

3. Bufferzone (virtual type)

4. Sandboxie (virtual type)

Worry-free surfing, run the browser in the sandbox

With the example of SanBoxie, After we open SandBoxie, right-click the icon in the lower right corner and select "Run Sandbox→IE Browser". At this time, an IE browser with two "[#]" symbols in the title bar will automatically pop up, which means that IE is already in Protection status. After the protection is removed, the history records, the rogue plug-ins installed between IE, and the downloaded files will all disappear.

Reminder: Sandboxie itself can only protect the first IE browser process, but use Sandboxie's shortcut to protect IE on the desktop to access the Internet. No matter how many IE browsers are opened, they are all in the protected state.

Test and install dangerous programs

Trojan horses and viruses are always one step ahead of anti-virus software. So when we install the program, even if the anti-virus software does not report the virus, there is still a certain risk. But after using Sandboxie, the risk will be reduced to zero.

Select the unknown program to be installed or decompressed, press the right mouse button, and select "Run with sandbox", and the program will be installed or decompressed in a protected form. Similarly, in the installation window of the program, you will find two "[#]" symbols on the title bar representing protected. The author took protective measures when installing a program bundled with a Trojan horse. After restoring the system, it was found that the programs installed during this period, including Trojan horses, disappeared, which is quite safe.

Protect the entire computer and act as half a "shadow system"

Sandboxie also provides protection for the entire computer. Select the "Function" menu in Sandboxie, and then "Select Run Sandbox→Windows Explorer", and the "My Computer" window with two "[#]" symbols will automatically pop up. After that, it is safe to perform arbitrary operations on the entire computer, including formatting partitions, deleting files, and copying files. The method of recovery is simple. On the main interface of Sandboxie, select "Configuration → Sandbox Settings → Set Auto Cleanup Options" to clear the content in the isolation layer.

In addition, in the latest Sandboxie 3.40 version, it provides multi-user management functions and a variety of independent protection schemes.

Evaluation editor

Safe web browsing: Running your web browser under the protection of Sandboxie means that all malware downloaded by the browser is trapped in the sandbox and can be easily discarded.

Enhanced privacy: The browsing history, cookies, and temporary file cache generated during web browsing can be left in the sandbox without leaking into Windows.

Secure email: Viruses and other malicious software hidden in emails cannot break the sandbox and cannot infect your real system.

Keep the system clean: You can install the software in the sandbox to avoid wear and tear on the system.
