|
|
|
Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying local & mapped drives or the Windows registry. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing.<br>
|
|
|
|
Sandboxie allows you to create virtually unlimited sandboxes to isolate programs from the host and each other, while also allowing you to run as many programs simultaneously in a single box as you wish.

## 🚀 Features
|
|
|
|
Sandboxie is available in two editions, Plus and Classic. They both share the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility.
|
|
What's different is the availability of features in the user interface.
|
|
|
|
Sandboxie Plus has a modern Qt-based UI, which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source:
|
|
|
|
* Snapshot Manager - takes a copy of any box in order to be restored when needed
|
|
* Maintenance mode - allows to uninstall/install/start/stop Sandboxie driver and service when needed
|
|
* Portable mode - you can run the installer and choose to extract all files to a directory
|
|
* Additional UI options to block access for Windows components like printer spooler and clipboard
|
|
* More customization options for Start/Run and Internet access restrictions
|
|
* Privacy mode sandboxes that protect user data from illegitimate access
|
|
* Global hotkey to terminate all boxed processes
|
|
* A network firewall per sandbox which supports Windows Filtering Platform (WFP)
|
|
* The list of sandboxes can be searched with the shortcut key Ctrl+F
|
|
* A search function for Global Settings and Sandbox Options
|
|
* Ability to import/export sandboxes to and from 7z files
|
|
* Integration of sandboxes into the Windows Start menu
|
|
* A browser compatibility wizard to create templates for unsupported browsers
|
|
* Vintage View mode to reproduce the graphical appearance of Sandboxie Control
|
|
|
|
More features can be spotted by finding the sign `=` through the shortcut key Ctrl+F in the [CHANGELOG.md](./CHANGELOG.md) file.
|
|
|
|
Sandboxie Classic has the old no longer developed MFC-based UI, hence it lacks native interface support for Plus features. Although some of the missing features can be configured manually in the Sandboxie.ini configuration file or even replaced with [custom scripts](https://sandboxie-website-archive.github.io/www.sandboxie.com/old-forums/viewforum1a2d1a2d.html?f=22), the Classic edition is not recommended for users who want to explore the latest security options.

## 📚 Documentation
|
|
|
|
A GitHub copy of the [Sandboxie documentation](https://sandboxie-plus.github.io/sandboxie-docs) is currently maintained, although more volunteers are needed to keep it updated with the new changes. We recommend to check also the following labels in this repository:

## 🚀 Useful tools for Sandboxie
|
|
|
|
Sandboxie's functionality can be enhanced with specialized tools like the following:
|
|
|
|
* [LogApiDll](https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/LogApiDll) - adds a verbose output to Sandboxie's trace log, listing invocations of relevant Windows API functions
|
|
* [SbieHide](https://github.com/VeroFess/SbieHide) - attempts to hide the presence of SbieDll.dll from the application being sandboxed
|
|
* [SandboxToys2](https://github.com/blap/SandboxToys2) - allows to monitor files and registry changes in a sandbox
