Dynamic sandbox

Post by element » Thu Jan 03, 2008 6:26 pm

I'm surprised this hasn't been suggested/implemented, maybe its not possible. But 1 thing I'd love to see is dynamic sandbox clearing. Clearing portions of the sandbox as programs are closed, instead of clearing the sandbox when nothing is in use.

I don't know whether thats possible or not, but an alternative you could try instead is to just launch each program in it's own box (which I highly reccommend in the first place, not just for security, but customizability as well).

element, the idea is okay i think, maybe to save space or something... i wouldn't require such a feature anyway...

anyway, to do this i guess there would have to be some radical changes, sandboxie has to log every single bit written to a disk by what process and processchilds...
Sandboxie is not made to do this. and i doubt it will be ever :)

How would I go about making a new sandbox every time a program launched guys?

Well, you can't neccesarilly have a new sandbox made when a program launches (though that'd be kinda cool).
What you can do though, is create the sandbox yourself and then launch the program in that newly created sandbox.

To make a new sandbox, just open Sandboxie Control, then click "Sandbox | Create New Sandbox". :wink:
