added option to block host processes from accessing sandboxed ones #2132 -- usage: DenyHostAccess=Program.exe,y -- note: by default, this protection only applies for write access, that is, unsandboxed processes will still be able to obtain read-only access -- to prevent host processes from obtaining read access, ConfidentialBox=y must also be set, which require a supporter certificate

Added

added hook configuration for ntoskrnl/ntdll -- individual ntdll hooks can be disabled using "DisableWinNtHook=..."
added new Super Extra Security Enhanced Box Mode; add "UseSecurityMode=y" to enable -- when this setting is enabled, it combines "SysCallLockDown=y" which limits the use of NT system calls with "DropAdminRights=y" and "RestrictDevices=y" -- only calls configured in the global section as "ApproveWinNtSysCall=..."/"ApproveWin32SysCall=..." will be executed with the original token -- all non-approved NT syscalls will be executed with the sandboxed token, this may break compatibility in certain scenarios -- additional syscalls may need to be allowed, this has to be done in the [GlobalSettings] and the driver must be restarted -- Note: boxes created as Security Enhanced with prior builds will be displayed as normal in the UI from now on -- the Security Enhanced icons are now repurposed for the new Super Extra Security Enhanced Box Mode -- Note: The new enhanced security features require a supporter certificate
added browse option to the "force process" tab

Changed

replaced the "DeviceSecurity" template with a dedicated setting "RestrictDevices=y" -- Note: when needed, more "NormalFilePath=..." entries can be added to open specific devices
rule specificity is now even more specific, an exact rule now overrules those ending with a wildcard

added customization to Win32k hooking mechanism, as by default only GdiDdDDI* hooks are installed -- You can force the installation of other hooks by specifying them with "EnableWin32Hook=..." -- or disable the installation of the default hooks with "DisableWin32Hook=..." -- Please note that some Win32k hooks may cause BSODs or undefined behaviour. (!) -- The most obviously problematic Win32k hooks are blacklisted, this can be bypassed with "IgnoreWin32HookBlacklist=y"
added debug option "AdjustBoxedSystem=n" to disable the adjustment of service ACLs running with a system token
added "NoUACProxy=y" option together with the accompanying template, in order to disable UAC proxy -- Note: Boxes configured in compartment mode activate this template by default
added UI option to change default RpcMgmtSetComTimeout preset
added Plus installer option to start the default browser under Sandboxie through a desktop shortcut
added more entries to the Plus installer (current translations on Languages.iss file need to be updated)

Changed

"EnableWin32kHooks=y" is now enabled by default, as no issues were reported in 1.0.3 -- Note: currently only the GdiDdDDI* hooks are applied, required for Chromium HW acceleration
cleaned up low level hooking code a bit
"RunRpcssAsSystem=y" is now auto applied for boxes in "App Compartment" mode when "RunServicesAsSystem=y" or "MsiInstallerExemptions=y" are present

Fixed

fixed RPC handling in case a requested open service is not running #1443
fixed a hooking issue with NdrClientCall2 in 32 bit applications
fixed issue with start directory to run sandboxed when using SandMan #1436
fixed issue with recovering from network share locations #1435

[1.0.3 / 5.55.3] - 2021-12-12

Added

added mechanism to hook Win32k system calls on Windows 10 and later, this should resolve the issue with Chromium HW acceleration -- 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

Fixed

fixed bug in GetVersionExW making "OverrideOsBuild=..." not working #605 #1426

Removed

removed Virtual Desktop Manager template (by isaak654) d775807 #1326

[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 "App Compartment" mode of operation, it is enabled by adding "NoSecurityIsolation=y" to the box configuration -- 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 App 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 App Compartment boxes -- 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 app 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

fixed SBIE1401 notification during Sandboxie Plus uninstall (by mpheath) 68fa37d

[0.9.5 / 5.51.5] - 2021-08-30

Added

added option to run a sandbox in session 0 -- Note: the processes then have a system token, hence it's recommended to enable "DropAdminRights=y"
if the UI is run with admin privileges, it can terminate sandboxed processes in other sessions now
added "StartSystemBox=" option to auto-run a box on Sbie start/system boot in session 0 -- Note: box start is done by issuing Start.exe /box:[name] auto_run

[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

[0.8.9 / 5.50.9] - 2021-07-28 HotFix 2

fixed MSI installer not working in systemless mode on Windows 11
fixed Inno Setup script not being able to remove shell integration keys during Sandboxie Plus uninstall (by mpheath) #1037

[0.8.8 / 5.50.8] - 2021-07-13

Changed

MSIServer no longer requires being run as system; this completes the move to not use system tokens in a sandbox by default -- the security-enhanced option "MsiInstallerExemptions=n" is now the default behaviour

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

Fixed

fixed issue with boxes that had auto-delete activated introduced in the previous build #986

[0.8.7 / 5.50.7] - 2021-07-10

Added

added option to always auto-pick the DefaultBox #959 -- when this option is enabled, the normal behaviour with a box selection dialog can be brought up by holding down CTRL
added option to hide a sandbox from the "run in box" dialog -- useful to avoid listing insecure compatibility test boxes for example
added box options to system tray #439 #272

Changed

changed default "terminate all boxed processes" key from Ctrl+Pause to Ctrl+Alt+Pause #974

Added

added global hotkey to terminate all sandboxed processes (default: Ctrl+Pause)
the "Run Sandboxed" dialog can now be handled by the SandMan UI
added "AllowBoxedJobs=y" allowing boxed processes to use nested jobs on Windows 8 and later -- Note: this allows Chrome and other programs to use the job system for additional isolation
added Librewolf.exe to the list of Firefox derivatives #927
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
replaced configuration section list with a hash map to improve configuration performance, and increased line limit to 100000 -- not yet enabled in production build
the presence of the default box is only checked on connect
the portable directory dialog now shows the directory #924
when terminated, boxed processes now try terminating the job object first
the driver now can terminate problematic processes by default without the help of the service

fixed an issue when creating box copies

Removed

removed switch for "BlockPassword=n" as it does not seem to be working #938 -- it's recommended to use "OpenSamEndpoint=y" to allow password changes in Windows 10

[0.8.0 / 5.50.0] - 2021-06-13

Added

Normally Sandboxie applies "Close...=!,..." directives to non-excluded images if they are located in a sandbox -- added 'AlwaysCloseForBoxed=n' to disable this behaviour as it may not be always desired, and it doesn't provide extra security
added process image information to SandMan UI
localized template categories in the Plus UI #727
added "DisableResourceMonitor=y" to disable resource access monitor for selected boxes #886
added option to show trace entries only for the selected sandbox #886
added "UseVolumeSerialNumbers=y" that allows drive letters to be suffixed with the volume SN in the \drive\ sandbox location -- it helps to avoid files mixed together on multiple pendrives using the same letter -- Note: this option is not compatible with the recovery function of the Classic UI, only SandMan UI is fully compatible
added "ForceRestart=PicoTorrent.exe" to the PicoTorrent template in order to fix a compatibility issue #720
added localization support for RPC templates (by isaak654) #736

[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 -- with "FakeAdminRights=y" and "DropAdminRights=y" installers should still work

new functionality for the list finder

Changed

the LogApi dll is now using Sbie's tracing facility to log events instead of its own pipe server

Fixed

FIXED SECURITY ISSUE ID-11: elevated sandboxed processes could access volumes/disks for reading (thanks hg421) -- this protection option can be disabled by using "AllowRawDiskRead=y"
fixed crash issue around SetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelID observed with GoogleUpdate.exe

"Disable Forced Programs" time is now saved and reloaded

Changed

legacy language files can now be UTF-8 encoded
reworked file migration behaviour, removed hardcoded lists in favour of templates #441 -- you can now use "CopyAlways=", "DontCopy=" and "CopyEmpty=" that support the same syntax as "OpenFilePath=" -- "CopyBlockDenyWrite=program.exe,y" makes a write open call to a file that won't be copied fail instead of turning it read-only

[0.5.4 / 5.46.0] - 2021-01-06

Added

FIXED SECURITY ISSUE ID-4: Sandboxie now strips particularly problematic privileges from sandboxed system tokens -- with those a process could attempt to bypass the sandbox isolation (thanks Diversenok) -- old legacy behaviour can be enabled with "StripSystemPrivileges=n" (absolutely NOT Recommended)
added new isolation options "ClosePrintSpooler=y" and "OpenSmartCard=n" -- those resources are open by default, but for a hardened box it is desired to close them
FIXED SECURITY ISSUE ID-5: added print spooler filter to prevent printers from being set up outside the sandbox -- the filter can be disabled with "OpenPrintSpooler=y"
added overwrite prompt when recovering an already existing file
added "StartProgram=", "StartService=" and "AutoExec=" options to the SandMan UI
added more compatibility templates (thanks isaak654) #294

Changed

Changed Emulated SCM behaviour, boxed services are no longer by default started as boxed system -- use "RunServicesAsSystem=y" to enable the old legacy behaviour -- Note: sandboxed services with a system token are still sandboxed and restricted -- However not granting them a system token in the first place removes possible exploit vectors -- Note: this option is not compatible with "ProtectRpcSs=y" and takes precedence!

added info tooltips in SbieView

Changed

reworked ApiLog, added PID and PID filter
auto config reload on in change is now delayed by 500ms to not reload multiple times on incremental changes
Sandbox names now replace "_" with " " for display allowing to use names that are made of separated words

Fixed

added missing PreferExternalManifest initialization to portable mode
FIXED SECURITY ISSUE ID-2: fixed permission issues with sandboxed system processes -- Note: you can use "ExposeBoxedSystem=y" for the old behaviour (debug option)
FIXED SECURITY ISSUE ID-3: fixed missing SCM access check for sandboxed services (thanks Diversenok) -- Note: to disable the access check use "UnrestrictedSCM=y" (debug option)
fixed missing initialization in service server that caused sandboxed programs to crash when querying service status
fixed many bugs that caused the SbieDrv.sys to BSOD when running with Driver Verifier enabled #57 -- 0xF6 in GetThreadTokenOwnerPid and File_Api_Rename -- missing non optional parameter for FltGetFileNameInformation in File_PreOperation -- 0xE3 in Key_StoreValue and Key_PreDataInject

[0.2.2 / 5.41.2] - 2020-06-19

Added

added option "SeparateUserFolders=n" to no longer have the user profile files stored separately in the sandbox
added "SandboxieLogon=y" - it makes processes run under the SID of the "Sandboxie" user instead of the Anonymous user -- Note: the global option "AllowSandboxieLogon=y" must be enabled, the "Sandboxie" user account must be manually created first and the driver reloaded, else process start will fail
improved debugging around process creation errors in the driver

Fixed

fixed some log messages going lost after driver reload
found a workable fix for the MSI installer issue, see Proc_CreateProcessInternalW_RS5

[0.2.1 / 5.41.1] - 2020-06-18

Added

added different sandbox icons for different types -- Red LogAPI/BSA enabled -- more to come :D
added progress window for async operations that take time
added DPI awareness #56
the driver file is now obfuscated to avoid false positives
additional debug options to Sandboxie.ini OpenToken=y that combines UnrestrictedToken=y and UnfilteredToken=y -- Note: using these options weakens the sandboxing, they are intended for debugging and may be used for better application virtualization later

Changed

SbieDll.dll when processing InjectDll now looks in the SbieHome folder for the DLLs if the entered path starts with a backslash -- i.e. "InjectDll=\LogAPI\i386\logapi32v.dll" or "InjectDll64=\LogAPI\amd64\logapi64v.dll"

Fixed

IniWatcher did not work in portable mode
service path fix broke other services, now properly fixed, maybe
found workaround for the MSI installer issue

[0.2 / 5.41.0] - 2020-06-08

Added

IniWatcher, the .ini is now reloaded automatically every time it changes
added Maintenance menu to the Sandbox menu, allowing to install/uninstall and start/stop Sandboxie driver, service
SandMan.exe now is packed with Sbie files and when no Sbie is installed acts as a portable installation
added option to clean-up logs

Changed

Sbie driver now first checks the home path for the configuration file Sandboxie.ini before checking SystemRoot

Fixed

FIXED SECURITY ISSUE ID-1: sandboxed processes could obtain a write handle on non sandboxed processes (thanks Diversenok) -- this allowed to inject code in non sandboxed processes
fixed issue boxed services not starting when the path contained a space
NtQueryInformationProcess now returns the proper sandboxed path for sandboxed processes

[0.1 / 5.40.2] - 2020-06-01

Added

created a new Qt based UI names SandMan (Sandboxie Manager)
Resource Monitor now shows the PID
added basic API call log using updated BSA LogApiDll

Changed

reworked Resource Monitor to work with multiple event consumers
reworked log to work with multiple event consumers

[5.40.1] - 2020-04-10

Added

"Other" type for the Resource Access Monitor -- added call to StartService to the logged Resources

Fixed

fixed "Windows Installer Service could not be accessed" that got introduced with Windows 1903
