Sandboxie 64 Bit

[Nayra Waddles]

WhenI was a windows user I really liked sandboxie which is a windows only application but now that I have moved to linux I want a sandboxie alternative for linux. I want to sandbox all of my applications ( or least the web browser ) so that I can protect myself from malware / phishing attacks and also to compartmentalize all of my internet activities. Using a type 1 hypervisor ( like kvm ) or a type 2 hypervisor ( like virtualbox ) is not an option for me as it is really an overkill and it not worth it. Is there an easier way to do it ?

im running a game in sandboxie, im running 6 copies of the game in their own sandbox. so i have 6 windows open with the game running smalll windows with the title of the window looking like this: [#] game-name [#], now the thing is all 6 windows have the same exact window title: [#] game-name [#]. i have noticed they have different ID's ex: 7693, 3434, 2234 etc... 4 digit numbers. i was reading somwhere that those children process? or something of that sort an not parents because they have [#]

ultimately what im trying to accomplish will be simple for a scripter but extremely difficult for me, im just trying to have a [Enter] command sent to all the windows (in background & foreground) every x amount of minutes. i do know that the process ID changes every time i reload the game. so im willing to put in each ID manually if i have to.

i found this script written by gamer girl, it pulls all the ID's of windows that are identically named. is there a way to add to it so it can send a Enter key to each window every x amount of minutes. the code follows:

Is that within Revit EULA to use programs like sandboxie? New versions of Revit won't allow you to run multiple local copies of the same central model on a single machine, however in some situations this can be really useful. For example prior to revit 2025 UI was blocked entirely while exporting PDF sheets, which could take a very long time. In this case you might want to open the model in a second instance dedicated only to exporting.

Therefore, I'm wondering if one could use sandboxie to isolate Revit processes and make it open multiple local copies of the same central model on one machine. I am not sure though if this would raise any flags on the Autodesk licensing side?

After Sandboxie became open source, it was decided to release the documentation in the same way, in order to be accessible and easily updated from the community than the documentation available on sandboxie-plus.com and other archived sources.

I also use Sandboxie 5.12 (64 Bit) to start Mozilla Firefox in a sandboxed environment, so all changes made by the browser (downloads, temp files, cookies) are stored within a sandbox and don't touch my system.

Just if anybody asks: when I download a file then Sandboxie asks if I want to transfer the file to my PC or if it should stay in the sandbox.

My hope is that also malicious software that you can get by drive-by-injections are also kept away from my system.

I am also using an security suite with a classic virus scanner.

I had 1Password 4.6.0.604 (latest stable) installed.

After the installation I opened Firefox outside the sandbox and installed the 1Password browser extension.

Then I clicked on the 1Password icon in Firefox and set up 1Password for Firefox (the connection).

Now I can click on the 1Password icon in Firefox and can use 1Password normally.

I started Firefox in normal mode (not sandboxed) and everything worked fine.

When I start Firefox in sandboxed mode and click on the 1Password icon in Firefox then the 1Password welcome URL is shown:

I also have to select the 1Password application again.

In Sandboxie all sandboxed windows have a yellow border, so you see at once that this window where I have to select 1Password is shown inside the sandbox:

@OLLI_S: I suspect this may be due to some improvements we've made in recent betas to harden security between 1Password and the browser extensions, so I don't expect we'll be reverting these changes. However, I may be wrong if it's due to something else entirely. Can you tell me the exact OS and Sandbox versions you're using so I can test this? Thanks in advance! :)

@OLLI_S: Thanks! I tested this by stepping through a few betas of 1Password 4, and found that the 1Password browser extension still works with Firefox sandboxed in each of them. However, it doesn't work right off the bat because the extension in sandboxed Firefox needs to first start the Helper (Agile1PAgent.exe). 1Password cannot communicate with the browser otherwise.

So at first, when you click the extension button, you'll get the connection error (since the Helper is not yet running in the sandbox with Firefox). Similarly, Firefox cannot connect if it was lunched without the Helper running. So you really need both in your sandbox. After launching Firefox with the Helper already running in the sandbox, clicking again brings up the unlock prompt because the two can communicate.

The behavior is exactly as you described above.

And I also know that I have to start both apps in Sandboxie.

But starting 1Password sandboxed is not working, here I get the following error message from Sandboxie:

SBIE2205 Service not implemented: CreateDesktop

The problem is when I start 1Password sandboxed, then all changes made to my password vault is also sandboxed (and not written to my HDD). Here I must remember to move the files from the sandbox to my HDD.

Very high risk of data loss.

It sounds like Sandboxie might now allow these secure connections, but this isn't a change we're going to roll back. Are you able to set an exception for 1Password? If not, and if you are the sole user of your computer (no other local or remote logins), you can safely use the previous version of the app.

But going forward 1Password will be requiring authentication to ensure that both sides are identified before transmitting any information. Not everyone is willing or able to run all of their software in a sandbox, so we really need to focus on making 1Password secure on its own, rather than designing it with this specific use case in mind. I'm sorry that I don't have better news for you. :(

@brenty

In Sandboxie I can add some applications to the "software compatibility" list, but here Sandboxie only shows applications that are supported by Sandboxie and that are found on my system. 1Password is not listed here, so I can not select it.

In the Sandboxie forums (forums.sandboxie.com/phpBB3/index.php) there is also no topic for 1Password yet.

So I will install the old version of 1Password now.

But this can only be a temporal solution

You should find a solution for this problem in 1Password 6.

I think that Sandboxie is used by many users, in the forums there are nearly 25000 users.

Although I ave an Internet Security Suite I always start all my web browsers sandboxed, so no malicious software can affect my system (there are many drive-by-infections).

If 1Password is not working with Sandboxie I really have to think if I want to skip my security shield (Sandboxie) or if I switch back to my old password manager.

I really love 1Password, but security is also very important.

The "compatibility list" is interesting, but I have to be honest: so far you're the only one to bring this up, so I'm not sure it makes sense to pursue this at this time. We have to prioritize the work we do to do the greatest good for the most users. But certainly if this becomes a popular request and we can do it without compromising 1Password's security (again, mutual authentication) or usability, it's certainly something we'll consider.

I guess my point is that we cannot count on or expect all 1Password users to use Sandboxie, so we need to continue to improve 1Password to keep it secure for all users and avoid dependency. I'm sorry for the inconvenience our browser security improvements have caused, but it isn't something we can compromise on. It's what we expect of ourselves and our products, and all of our customers deserve no less.

@brenty: what about moving this topic to the normal Windows forums, because the problem also occurs with the current stable version. And can you please change the title from "1Password 4.6.0 Beta 613 - Problems with Sandboxie" to "Problems with Sandboxie"? Maybe some other users also have Sandboxie?

Thank you!

Next you should understand what is in my mind.

I really love 1Password and you see this in the huge amount of suggestions I have made. It is a really powerful password manager that is by far better than my current password manager KeePass. 1Password also increases the security in comparison to KeePass (Watchtower, show weak and duplicate passwords).

And I really like the excellent support I get here (especially from you, @brenty but also from all others).

So there is no doubt that I love 1Password and I want to stay at 1Password.

But I know a bit about IT security and also a bit about the dangers that are out there.

I know that you can get infected just by typing in the wrong URL or by clicking the wrong link in the search result. Opening a webpage is enough to get infected these days, you even don't have to click anything. I remember the report that malware was delivered by advertisement (the advertiser was hacked). And I know that a Virus-Scanner can not protect you completely.

So my decision is to use a sanbdoxed browser, where all content (like cache, cookies) but also malware is stored on a secure area on the system. The malware can modify my system settings, change the registry and delete files, but this is only done in the sandbox. After I delete the content of the sandbox my system is clean again.

At least is this wat the developers of Sandbosie promise.

So here I have an additional security layer that protects me before malware reaches my system.

Referring to your posting @brenty: I need Sandboxie to browse securely in the web and not to increase the security of 1Password (but maybe I did get your posting wrong?).
