SandBoxie Last Version 5.8.0

Sandboxie is a security program that implements a copy-on-write file system. Essentially you run an application that has read access to your file system but any time it tries to write to a file system the write gets redirected to the Sandboxie file system.

If program A tries to write a file to C:UsersDesktop Sandboxie redirects it to C:SandboxieProgramAUsersDesktop, which isolates the program from the file system.

Each application gets its own Sandboxie file system to live in and do as it pleases. You can also install multiple applications to the same file system.

You could even install malware to the Sandboxie file system and it wouldn't be able to touch your real file system - meaning all it takes is wiping the specific sandbox and you're free from malware.

Sandboxie also restricts Inter Process Communication - meaning Application A can't talk to Application B.

Sandboxie can also be set up to create a Mandatory Access Control sandbox - meaning that you can restrict reads/writes (separately) to specific files and folders. This can prevent remote/ local exploitation.

Sandboxie also allows blocking of internet access to specific programs/ whitelisting internet access within a sandbox. It can also allow only specific file executables to run.

You can configure to allow sandboxie to write to specific areas of your file system, which allows for ease of use and program compatibility.
