manpe Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I'm with shought here :P I'm too lazy to use sandboxie. I just take a hunch running an executable. If I get infected, well... yeaaah :afro: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karachidude Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 i have learnt my lesson..lol...i will use sandboxie from now on to execute keygens :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted September 10, 2009 Administrator Share Posted September 10, 2009 Good. Even I will do the same from now on. But I have a question.Suppose I downloaded a keygen in .zip, .rar whatever format. And I open the compressed file in sandbox. Now when I try to extract/open the keygen, will it be extracted from outside the sandbox from my temp files or inside the sandbox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karachidude Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 that depends on ur choice,u can force ur FF to always start in sandboxie mode like i do with chrome and IE8,now when u download through a sandbox brower,at the end of the download sandboxie will ask u if u want to recover the file to some folder,if u want to recover the file use the browse option and select any folder u want to send it to.If u dont recover ur keygen to another place,the keygen wll stay in the sandbox.u can do to the C: drive and explore and find the keygen,or u can explore ur sandbox through provided options in the sandboxie control.Now in this situation the keygen is the sandbox and u can easily run and use it.But as a matter of fact u dont need to keep the sandbox,u can extract it anywhere on ur harddisk like on the desktop because extration cannot cause exucution of any .exe inside the Winrar or Winzip.What u really need to do is just drag the keygen to the sandboxie control,and let the sandboxie execute it,and look for bad behaviour.If u want to play the safest,just let it download in the sandbox,and execute it there directly.Anything executed in the sandbox in safe.

Administrator DKT27 Posted September 10, 2009 Administrator Share Posted September 10, 2009 I have faced two stealers before I came to know about sandbox. Many people would be knowin that stealers are not easily detectable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is you can't be 100% sure if you actually fixed it... So I'll have to monitor the situation for a few days :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
box Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Please remember, Sandboxie, by default in the settings, allows all programs to read all the data on your computer. So a special malware that knows where to look may see what it wants then phone home. It doesn't take much to steal passwords. You still need HIPS, firewall, and antimalware while running programs in Sandboxie. Also make sure that you terminate and delete all the contents in Sandboxie as soon as possible.I too once used to be lazy. Then I realized that it was more work.
