- or disable the installation of the default hooks with "DisableWin32Hook=..."

- cleaned up low-level hooking code
- "RunRpcssAsSystem=y" is now auto applied for sandboxes in Application Compartment mode when "RunServicesAsSystem=y" or "MsiInstallerExemptions=y" are present

[1.0.3 / 5.55.3] - 2021-12-12

- Note: this mechanism does not, yet, work for 32-bit applications running under WoW64
- to enable it, add "EnableWin32kHooks=y" to the global ini section, this feature is highly experimental (!)
- the hooks will be automatically applied to Chromium GPU processes
- to force Win32k hooks for all processes in a selected box, add "AlwaysUseWin32kHooks=program.exe,y" #1261 #1395

Removed
[1.0.0 / 5.55.0] - 2021-11-17
Added
- added Privacy Enhanced mode, sandboxes with "UsePrivacyMode=y" will not allow read access to locations containing user data
- all locations except generic Windows system paths will need to be opened explicitly for read and/or write access
- using "NormalFilePath=...", "NormalKeyPath=...", "NormalIpcPath=..." allows to open locations to be readable and sandboxed
- added new Application Compartment mode of operation, it is enabled by adding "NoSecurityIsolation=y" to the sandbox config
- in this mode, security is traded in for compatibility, it should not be used for untrusted applications
- Note: in this mode, file and registry filtering are still in place, hence processes run without administrative privileges
- it is reasonably safe, all filtering can be disabled with "NoSecurityFiltering=y"
- added experimental use of ObRegisterCallbacks to filter object creation and duplication
- this filtering is independent from the regular SbieDrv's syscall-based filtering, hence it also applies to Application Compartments
- with it enabled, an application running in a compartment will not be able to manipulate processes running outside the sandbox
- Note: this feature improves the security of non-isolated Application Compartment sandboxes
- to enable this feature, set "EnableObjectFiltering=y" in the global section and reload the driver
- when globally activated, the filtering can be disabled for individual boxes with "DisableObjectFilter=y"
- added "DontOpenForBoxed=n", this option disables the discrimination of boxed processes for open file and open key directives
- this behaviour does not really improve security anyway, but may be annoying, also Application Compartments always disable this
- added setting to entirely open access to the COM infrastructure
Changed
- reworked the resource access path matching mechanism to optionally apply more specific rules over less specific ones
- for example "OpenFilePath=C:\User\Me\AppData\Firefox takes precedence over "WriteFilePath=C:\User\Me"
- to enable this new behaviour, add "UseRuleSpecificity=y" to your Sandboxie.ini, this behaviour is always enabled in Privacy Enhanced mode
- added "NormalFilePath=..." to restore default Sandboxie behaviour on a given path
- added "OpenConfPath=...", which similarly to "OpenPipePath=..." is a "OpenKeyPath=..." variant which applies to executables located in the sandbox
- removed option to copy a box during creation, instead the box context menu offers a duplication option
- reworked the box creation dialog to offer new box types
Fixed

- if the UI is run with admin privileges, it can terminate sandboxed processes in other sessions now

[0.9.0 / 5.51.0] - 2021-07-29 (pre-release)
Added
- added support for Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) to be used instead of the device-based network blocking scheme
- to enable this support, add 'NetworkEnableWFP=y' to the global section and reboot or reload the driver
- to use WFP for a specific sandbox, add 'AllowNetworkAccess=n'
- you can allow certain processes by using 'AllowNetworkAccess=program.exe,y'
- you can also enable this policy globally by adding 'AllowNetworkAccess=n' to the global section
- in this case you can exempt entire sandboxes by adding 'AllowNetworkAccess=y' to specific boxes
- you can block certain processes by using 'AllowNetworkAccess=program.exe,n'
- Note: WFP is less absolute than the old approach, using WFP will filter only TCP/UDP communication
- restricted boxed processes will still be able to resolve domain names using the system service
- however, they will not be able to send or receive data packets directly
- the advantages of WFP is that filter rules can be implemented by restricting communication only to specified addresses or selected ports using "NetworkAccess=..."
- added fully functional rule-based packet filter in user mode for the case when "NetworkEnableWFP=y" is not set
- the mechanism replaces the old "BlockPort=..." functionality
- Note: this filter applies only to outgoing connections/traffic, for incoming traffic either the WFP mode or a third-party firewall is needed
- like the old user mode based mechanism, malicious applications can bypass it by unhooking certain functions
- hence it's recommended to use the kernel mode WFP-based mechanism when reliable isolation is required
- added new trace option "NetFwTrace=*" to trace the actions of the firewall components
- please note that the driver only trace logs the kernel debug output, use DbgView.exe to log
- API_QUERY_PROCESS_INFO can now be used to get the impersonation token of a sandboxed thread
- Note: this capability is used by TaskExplorer to allow inspecting sandbox-internal tokens
- Note: a process must have administrative privileges to be able to use this API
- added a UI option to switch "MsiInstallerExemptions=y" on and off
- just in case a future Windows build breaks something in the systemless mode
- added sample code for ObRegisterCallbacks to the driver
- added new debug options "DisableFileFilter=y" and "DisableKeyFilter=y" that allow to disable file and registry filtering
- Note: these options are for testing only and disable core parts of the sandbox isolation
- added a few command line options to SandMan.exe
Changed
- greatly improved the performance of the trace log, but it's no longer possible to log to both SandMan and SbieCtrl at the same time
- reworked process creation code to use PsSetCreateProcessNotifyRoutineEx and improved process termination
Fixed
- added missing hook for ConnectEx function

Fixed
- fixed issue with the "explore sandboxed" command #972
- rolled back the switch from using NtQueryKey to NtQueryObject as it seems to break some older Windows 10 versions like 1803 #984
- this change was introduced to fix #951
- to use NtQueryObject the option "UseObjectNameForKeys=y" can be added to Sandboxie.ini
[0.8.7b / 5.50.7] - 2021-07-11

[0.8.7 / 5.50.7] - 2021-07-10

- added run regedit sandboxed menu command
- added new support settings tab to SandMan UI for updates and news
- added code integrity verification to Sbie service and UI
- added template for Vivaldi Notes (by isaak654) #948
Changed
- replaced the Process List used by the driver with a much faster Hash Map implementation
- Note: this change provides an almost static system call speed of 1.2µs regardless of the running process count
- The old list, with 100 programs running required 4.5µs; with 200: 12µs; and with 300: 18µs per syscall
- Note: some of the slowdown was also affecting non-sandboxed applications due to how the driver handles certain callbacks
- replaced the per-process Thread List used by the driver with a much faster Hash Map implementation

- localized template categories in the Plus UI #727
- added "DisableResourceMonitor=y" to disable resource access monitor for selected boxes #886

[0.7.1 / 5.48.5] - 2021-02-21
Added
- enhanced RpcMgmtSetComTimeout handling with "UseRpcMgmtSetComTimeout=some.dll,n"
- this option allows to specify if RpcMgmtSetComTimeout should be used or not for each individual dll
- this setting takes precedence over hard-coded and per-process presets
- "UseRpcMgmtSetComTimeout=some.dll" and "UseRpcMgmtSetComTimeout=some.dll,y" are equivalent
- added "FakeAdminRights=y" option that makes processes think they have admin permissions in a given box
- this option is recommended to be used in combination with "DropAdminRights=y" to improve security
