Hello,

can Sandboxie 64 bit be considered with the latest releases on par with the 32 bit version in terms of security ?

The "New Experimental Protection" can be considered stable enhought ?

Yes,

I have read this and this http://www.sandboxie.com/index.php?ExperimentalProtection

I was just curious if the latest versions introduces something new on the matter.

The name "Experimental Protection" and the fact that you have to enable it manually let me think that it is a work in progress feature, maybe not stable enough when it was added.

because it uses kernel interfaces which are not completely documented and official

it is good as the kernel of x64. if you dont trust the kernel (MS), you can not trust sandboxie.
now its on you

It's marked experimental because it uses some unofficial stuff which means there is no guarantee that it will not stop working at some point.

Ok, clear, in the 32 bit OS Sandboxie can patch the kernel, while this is not possible in the 64 bit OS, so SB uses the built in MS Kernel features for this.

But being unofficial kernel interfaces, they may disappear or be changed, breaking SB functionalities if you use the "Experimental Protection"

And on the contrary, I trust Sandboxie even more ... Smile


Thank You
