HitmanPro.Alert blocking sandboxed browsers

[kerflot]

I believe this to be more a HitmanPro problem and have written to them.

Their latest version v3-7-1-723 will not allow either Firefox or Opera (both latest versions) run sandboxed.
If I turn off Exploit Mitigation in Hitman I get repeatedly the error "SBIE2205 Service not implemented: Win32Init.6 (000000AA)".
The browsers will then open with some interference with Add-ons in Firefox but Opera appears to be okay.
Experimenting with Opera, when I navigate I get more lines of the above error.

So until Hitman brings out a fix I have had to "Stop" the HitmanPro.Alert service in Windows Services.

I'm using Windows 7 Pro 32bit.

Had a lot of PrivGuard problems with Sandboxie 5.22 and HmP.Alert 723. More info: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads ... 1/page-575

I had the same problem with a specific program (not a browser). The workaround for me was to add it to HMPA's exceptions.

EDIT: It also occurred with Firefox after I made the above posting.

Thank you one and all for your input.

The Sandboxie settings were already in place, that's why I did not have an issue before the latest HMPA update.

[kerflot]

I eventually received the following "solutions" from HMPA over a few days:

"Change the Action mode to 'Silent audit'. Is everything back to normal now?"
[didn't do a thing]

"Sandboxie is stealing security tokens and applying that the the sandboxed browser, and that is exactly what PrivGuard is supposed to block.
So unfortunately these two don't play nice, if you wish to keep Sandboxie you can disable 'Local Priviledge mitigation' on process protection."
[didn't do a thing - "stealing"? Oh really? Also, their spelling not mine]


And finally after me asking if PrivGuard was not blocking this before the update:

"No, the feature is new, hence the previous version had no protection against this.
But there are more issues with running Alert and Sandboxie, I have informed our developers and they are looking in to it.".

So there you have it. Unfortunately you cannot prevent HMPA from updating itself. You just have to stop using it.
For now I let HMPA start on boot up, check for updates manually (just in case), then go to services.msc and Stop the HitmanPro.Alert service before running a sandboxed browser.

All,

I downloaded Hitman Pro Alert v3.7.1 build723 + Win 7 x86 +Sbie 5.23.1 . I ensured Process Protection ---> Local Privilege Mitigation was enabled (it is by default), and tested launching web browsers in a new Sandbox with default settings. I did not experience any issues launching Firefox or Chrome in the Sandbox.
I went to the Exploit Mitigation settings, and Sandboxie was listed as "Not Protected" under Running applications.

After a reboot, I did get a PrivGuard Alert when I launched Chrome Sandboxed, but no error messages appeared and functionality was not affected.
Can somebody please provide repro steps?

Regards,
Barb.-

I was using Sanboxie 5.22 full version.

After updating to the above Beta version nothing changed.
Even with HMPA uninstalled and reinstalled.

With Exploit Mitigation enabled I noticed that by going to Delete Contents (SB) there is only 1MB of data.
Firefox does not show in Windows Task Manager.
The attached image shows a list of what is sandboxed. There are no "All Files and Folders" but I suppose this is expected.

Can somebody please provide repro steps?

Repro steps not possible.
HMPA updated itself, requested that I reboot.
I did.
Then tried using Firefox and nothing happened.
Which Win7 version are you using, Pro?
Which version of Firefox are you using? I'm using v57.0.1 (FF Quantum).

@Barb.

Cant reproduce a mitigation, it occurs sometimes out of the blue. Maybe You could contact Erik or Mark Loman from Sophos/Surfright, they are aware of this issue.

Info of the mitigation can be found via the Windows Event viewer.

The attached image shows a list of what is sandboxed. There are no "All Files and Folders" but I suppose this is expected.

I meant to say: There are no "User Files".
