Firewall versus Malware

Just LET (don't block) the connection via SBIE, instead use your good firewall to make questions/ rules. That is an interesting approach. I configure most sandboxes so that Sandboxie will allow only the programs that I list as members of the Internet Access Group to access the LAN, or access the In...

Protecting Privacy: Sandboxie vs. "Flash cookies"

After reading the following article by Michael Kassner on Tech Republic titled Flash cookies: What's new with online privacy , I decided to investigate whether any "Flash cookies" were stored on my computer system: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/security/?p=2299&tag=nl.e036 "Flash cookies", creat...

Re: Running Multiple Instances of a Sandboxed Application

Working under the theory that if I say enough words, that I might be able to get my point across, here's a whole bunch of words: :lol: .... Since I specified on the command line that Firefox should use the profile in my "C:\Profiles\Firefox\Secure" folder, then that's the folder that this particula...

Re: Running Multiple Instances of a Sandboxed Application

Re: Running Multiple Instances of a Sandboxed Application

".... Poor use of terminology, on my part. I should have referred to this as not allowing " direct access " to the entire Firefox profile folder, which in Sandboxie's terminology means that I don't allow 'writes' to the entire (unsandboxed) Firefox profile folder. I don't restrict 'reads' from the ...

Re: Running Multiple Instances of a Sandboxed Application

If I may ask, what is the command line switch to use after the string in Target? I have several sandboxes and Firefox profiles. .... To keep the line in the Target box at a manageable length, I created my new Firefox profile folders at C:\Profiles\Firefox\... Otherwise, the Target line will get rea...

Running Multiple Instances of a Sandboxed Application

Guest10, thank you for answering that question. The current profiles.ini on my computer: [General] StartWithLastProfile=0 [Profile0] Name=default IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/dq42mvh8.default Default=1 I seldom use the "xxxxxxx.default" profile, except for updating Firefox itself. For me, it's close t...

Running Multiple Instances of a Sandboxed Application

The actions listed below were effected while running Windows XP (fully current) as the OS. Before conducting the first series of experiments, I "commented out" (as shown below) the four lines in Sandboxie.ini that allow Firefox to modify or create files in its profile folder, for both (1) the sandbo...

While tzuk checks out whatever he's checking, I would like to make some comments: tzuk is wise. :-) Without Sandboxie, I can run as many instances of Firefox as I choose. It usually happens, while Firefox is already running, because I'm looking at some other program instead and use its "Help" featu...

Running Multiple Instances of a Sandboxed Application

Without Sandboxie, I can run as many instances of Firefox as I choose. It usually happens, while Firefox is already running, because I'm looking at some other program instead and use its "Help" feature, which causes the program to launch the default browser, Firefox. So then two instances of Firefox...

Firefox and saved passwords

If a malware process is running on the same computer system as Sandboxie, then, in theory (at least), all sorts of mischief might be possible -- not necessarily involving Sandboxie. The malware would most likely search for the password file in the Firefox profile; I don't know whether that data is e...

Thanks, tzuk. I don't know whether any of the executables that I choose to run in a sandbox, when at least one of them accesses the Internet, use SandboxieRcpSS. However, the sandbox for Thunderbird is configured to also serve for Firefox, so I can select a hyperlink in an e-mail message and Firefox...

Does SandboxieRpcSs need access to the Internet?

At least once, Sandboxie displayed a message to the effect that SandboxieRpcSs could not access the Internet. I don't recall that it resulted in any evident adverse consequences. So, I added it (and the other five Sandboxie* services) to each of the three Internet Access groups in the [Global] secti...

Re: IE7 Favorites Bookmark Bug

Also, the configuration for the I.E. sandbox already has -- or should have -- the statement: OpenFilePath=iexplore.e...
