Steve Gibson plans to invite SB author to his podcast...

[guest_2]

Just sharing the news that the security expert, Steve Gibson, has invited SB author to participate in his wellknown podcast. Below is an excerpt from his latest podcast-> #100 (http://www.grc.com/sn/SN-100.htm, scroll down somewhere near the end):


Leo: But it’s my understanding, and I may be wrong, but it’s my understanding from talking to Firefox developers that these extensions are running as XUL. It may be possible for you to attach an application to it. That’s an interesting question. But it’s my understanding that it’s really running in a markup language, basically.


Steve: Okay. Well, what I would recommend - and, you know, certainly anytime you’ve got things going on with your browser, protecting your system from that is a good thing. One of the plans I have in the future is to get the author of Sandboxie on to spend an hour with us talking about Sandboxie. I’ve contacted him; he’s interested in doing so. It’s just a very well-behaved, very nice sandboxing tool that is not in your way. It’s much lighter weight than having to deal with a virtual machine and running your browser in a VM. There’s a lot of overhead associated with doing that, as is the case with any VM where you’re running a whole ‘nother instance of an OS in the VM. I want to talk about sandboxing because I think it is potentially the not-received-enough-press-yet solution for all of this.


Keep up the good work !
