Release v0.4.5 / 5.44.1

This build fixes many bugs and introduces a lot of new debugging facilities.

Important Note:

The SbieDrv.sys driver must be signed, and since the appropriate certificates are prohibitively expensive, I head to use a leaked code signing certificate I found laying around the Internets. This means some anti malware applications wrongfully flag it as potentially dangerous or a virus.

ChangeLog

Added

• added "Terminate all processes" and "disable forced programs" commands to tray menu in SandMan ui
• program start restrictions settings now can be switsched between a white list and a black list
  -- programs can be terminated and blacklisted from the context menu
• added additional process context menu options, lingering and leader process can be now set from menu
• added option to view template presets for any given box
• added text filter to template view
• added new compatybility templates:
  -- Windows 10 core UI component: OpenIpcPath=\BaseNamedObjects[CoreUI]-* solving issues with Chinese Input and Emojis
  -- FireFox Quantum, access to windows FontCachePort for compatybility with windows 7
• added experimental debug option "OriginalToken=y" which lets sandboxed processes retain their original unrestricted token
  -- This option is comparable with "OpenToken=y" and is intended only for testing and debugging, it BREAKS most SECURITY guarantees (!)
• added debug option "NoSandboxieDesktop=y" it disables the desktop proxy mechanism
  -- Note: without an unrestricted token with this option applications wont be able to start
• added debug option "NoSysCallHooks=y" it disables the sys call processing by the driver
  -- Note: without an unrestricted token with this option applications wont be able to start
• added ability to record verbost access tracess to the resource monitor
  -- use ini options "FileTrace=", "PipeTrace=", "KeyTrace=", "IpcTrace=", "GuiTrace=" to record all events
  -- replace "" to log only: "A" - allowed, "D" - denided, or "I" - ignore events
• added ability to record debug output strings to the resource monitor,
  -- use ini option DebugTrace=y to enable

Changed

• AppUserModelID sting no longer contains sandboxie version string
• now by default sbie's application manifest hack is disabled, as it causes problems with version checking on windows 10
  -- to enable old behavioure add "PreferExternalManifest=y" to the global or the box specific ini section
• the resource log mechanism can now handle multiple strings to reduce on string copy operations

Fixed

• fixed issue with disabling some restriction settings failed
• fixed disabling of internet block from the presets menu sometimes failed
• the software compatybility list in the sandman UI now shows the proper template names
• fixed use of freed memory in the driver
• replaced swprintf with snwprintf to prevent potential buffer overflow in SbieDll.dll
• fixed bad list performance with resource log and api log in SandMan UI

Experimental Release v0.4.4 / 5.44.0

This build introduced a couple of architectural changes to the core mechanics of sandboxie, it should work well but with larger changes without a large test base its never guaranteed.

(!) Caution (!):

This is an experimental build, it may break things, if you experience issues please revert to 0.4.3 / 5.43.7

Important Note:

The SbieDrv.sys driver must be signed, and since the appropriate certificates are prohibitively expensive, I head to use a leaked code signing certificate I found laying around the Internets. This means some anti malware applications wrongfully flag it as potentially dangerous or a virus.

Release v0.4.0 / 5.43

This build brings a great new feature, snapshots, these allow to save a box state. The file system changes are saved incrementally for every snapshot a folder named snapshot-n where n is the snapshot id will be created in the box folder. The snapshot layout as well as the information which one is the currently used one are saved in a snapshot.ini in the box folder. With this feature tracing what applications do will be even easier, as well as undoing destructive changes that may have occurred.

Also with this release the SbiePlus build gets an own proper installer, from the get go. If you want t use the Plus build portable just choose the "Extract" option from the installer that will just unpack it to a selected folder.

Important Note:

The SbieDrv.sys driver must be signed, and since the appropriate certificates are prohibitively expensive, I head to use a leaked code signing certificate I found laying around the Internets. This means some anti malware applications wrongfully flag it as potentially dangerous or a virus.
