Sandboxie

Release Notes - New Features and Enhancements

• ImDisk Driver Integration
  We are excited to introduce the integration of the ImDisk driver. This new addition allows users to create boxes that reside directly in a RAM disk, offering enhanced performance and speed.

• Encrypted Sandbox Support
  Your data security is our priority. With our newly added Encrypted Sandbox support, users can now establish confidential boxes that ensure zero data leaks to the host PC. This feature is designed for those seeking an extra layer of security.

ImBox Component: Leveraging the cryptographic prowess of DiskCryptor, our new ImBox component ensures that the sandbox root folder is securely stored within an encrypted container file.

Enhanced Security with SbieDrv: Our innovative use of SbieDrv actively prevents processes that don't belong to the sandbox from accessing an encrypted sandbox's root folder. Your data remains isolated and protected.

ConfidentialBox Option: With the "ConfidentialBox=y" option, host process read access to sandboxed processes memory is effectively blocked, further safeguarding your sensitive information.

Upgrade now and experience a more secure and streamlined sandboxing experience!

Note: The Encrypted Sandbox feature requires a advanced level supporter certificate, Contributor, Great Patreon, Huge and Large type certificates qualify, Business, Medium and Small needs to be upgraded using a upgrade key which can be obtained on the web store and has to be entered on the support page. The client then obtains an upgraded certificate of the same type from the server.
Also for more clarity the available certificate scheme was restructured Small was renamed to Subscription, Medium to just Personal, Large was removed and a Family Pack subscription was added.

This build adds a new scriptable troubleshooting wizard to help resolve sandboxing and UI issues, the wizard can be directly invoked from the SBIEMSG pop Up dialog. The settings dialog has been slightly restructured to add more space to update options, a bug was fixed causing the updater to run every day and not once per week, and a setting was added allowing to pick the update interval.
We have also added an addon manager which allows to install additional components, like a script debugger for the troubleshooting wizard, a file checker, the logapi dll, and a few other usefull addons.
This build has also significantly reworked the low level injection mechanism, it should now work better and is much more flexible, although this being a large change requires some testing to ensure it works great on all scenarios.
