Sandboxie Support

Firefox 3.0.4 SANDBOXIE VERSION 3.30 Here's what I'm trying to do: I have Firefox and some 21+ add ons. When running FF in Sandboxie, I'd like for it to "recover" any changes I make in the options or settings so that if I open FF in a non-sandbox, the changes will still be there. It's doing some, bu...

Thanks, tzuk, I hadn't thought of the thread "dying". That will solve my problem . . . eventually, anyway.

I know there's no such thing as email notifications, so I'm not debating the virtues of that. But relative to subscriptions to threads . . . which may be the wrong term to use here, since that relates closely to email notifications . . . I have a question. When I view "my posts", there is a thread t...

OK, Peter2150, thanks for those "concrete" examples. I'm a believer.

OK . . . I feel better now after all the explanations . . . thanks. I was trying to get some specifics from that Root Kit guy, but all I got was those vague generalities. Someone else posted the links to those articles that had me in a tizzy (apparently in error). It's anecdotal evidence, but all th...

OK . . . please don't take my tone as abrasive, though it may sound that way sometimes (I have some severe sounding comments and questions). I'm not fond of cluttering up my posts with emoticons (and there would likely be a smiley face at the end of just about every sentence), so consider one big sm...

OK . . . thanks, Mike. It looks like wraithdu's suggestion to Quick Recover the whitelists in the prefs.js file is the way to go, but I need to read that over some more and digest it. Am I correct about the way to go?? (Your way, while similar, seems to sacrifice security a little bit more than I am...

I have the NoScript Add-on for Firefox. I only use it when I open FF in the non-sandbox environment (I have it disabled and enable it). Mostly for two reasons, one trivial and the other more substantive: 1) In a sandbox, the NoScript add-on is bothersome because it always loads as though it hasn't s...

Yet another paper titled "An Empirical Study into the Security Exposure to Hosts of Hostile Virtualized Environments" at http://taviso.decsystem.org/virtsec.pdf Another excerpt that has me alarmed: Ferrie describes how DOS-based, reduced privilege virtual machines could be trivially escaped from[22]...

The consensus seems to be that I don't need any keylog prevention software. Your question typically results in varied answers The same thing is true for people who ask "What's the best antivirus program?" Anyway, your response above is correct as far as I can see. Also, well stated. I do occasional ...

From a security point of view, Sandboxie is the most secure program you can use On a newsgroup where I asked this same question, I got a reply that sort of alarmed me. It was a link to a paper titled "Detecting System Emulators" at http://www.seclab.tuwien.ac.at/papers/detection.pdf An excerpt from...

While I AM inclined to think favorably of Sandoxie, I'd like to get the other side of the argument . . . sort of a devil's advocate thing. The experienced fellows on these forums give me very credible specifics, and I just want to see if I can get that from an "anti-Sandboxie" person. That would hav...

If so, then he's probably referring to some key logging prevention software like Neo's "SafeKeys". Which brings me to a follow up question. I've been reluctant to bog my machine down with all manner of security software because I'm thinking that maybe it's "overkill". For example, while I don't have...

In the "Beta Version 3.31" forum, SnDPhoenix made this comment in this thread http://www.sandboxie.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=3711&start=0 titled "Control Your Sandbox". " Only thing I would say is if you want to make your PC that much more secure, block off access to the keyboard and clipboard (exce...

Echo . . . especially on the path and hash code verification part. I know that kind of coding already exists because I've seen it in some HIPS.
