ReHIPS / Re: Is there a conflict with sandboxie?

« Last post by nick on October 28, 2019, 12:28:51 pm »

Thanks fixer for the respond, was just a thought.

Thank you Umbra, actually I was not isolating those with ReHIPS, just they are not be displayed while ReHIPS processes are running. Rehips is definitely more active and the better alternative to sandboxie with as far as I understand more broad securtity features and that's why is my choice for a switch when sandboxie will be fully not functional. For the time I try to use them synchronously, sandboxie virtualization offers some features I'm used to that do not (I think) exist in ReHIPS, specifically the fact that a sandboxed program does not make any changes out of its sandbox

ReHIPS / Re: Ask Questions Here - ReHIPS Features & Unexpected Behaviors

4. Suppose I have a rule to block/isolate notepad.exe . What I mean by Passive Mode is:
I run notepad >> Rehips blocks/isolates nothing >> notepad runs as usual >> Rehips logs/notifies me that notepad is blocked/isolated
In other words, If I have Standard Mode enabled then:

Passive Mode = Disabled Mode + Standard Mode logs and notifications

This would be great for those who want to check their rules before enabling Lockdown Mode.

i +1 this, would be useful for me too since i create an heavy list of LOLbins blocks rules.

ps: I was a Faronics-AntiExe user, Rehips beats it performance-wise, and it's free too at least by now  good job guys!

not really free, the demo (the free thingy) allows only 10 isolated processes which nullify the use of multi-processes browsers.

ReHIPS / Re: Is there a conflict with sandboxie?

i tested both together by curiosity long time ago, i saw this conflict.
Anyway i don't see the point of isolating the same program with 2 sandboxes at same time, not saying Sandboxie is abandoned, not worth wastin g time on it while ReHIPS is obviously superior.

No, if a process is allowed, ReHIPS lets it execute as is and doesn't impose any limitations.

Alert window is always opened on the same desktop the main ReHIPS Control Center is opened on. It doesn't depend on desktop of the program the alert is notifying about or on the user the program is executed from.

No the problem is exactly the same like in the post you mentioned, at least with thunderbird and waterfox. No isolation ReHIPS regarding, but when I try to open them sandboxed, the processes start but never display on the screen. I just thought it might had to do with how ReHIPS handles processes (and child processes of them) belonging to unknown untrusted users that's why I asked

(It is similar as when  ReHIPS opens an alert window waiting for a respond. What if a child process of them is not in ReHIPS list yet, will the alert window open in the current user desktop even though the process is owned by a different unkown user?)

ReHIPS isolated processes can be started on a separate desktop, it can be enabled/disabled on a per-isolated environment basis in isolated environment options.
There is definitely no need to try to both isolate a program in ReHIPS and sandbox it in Sandboxie at the same time. So just Allow them in ReHIPS (and it won't interfere) and sandbox them in Sandboxie or isolate in ReHIPS and ignore Sandboxie.

At what step does ReHIPS decides to display an application in a different desktop? Sandboxed processes are owned by an anonymous user, there is no ReHIPS rules database for such a user. A process with such an owner how is it interpreted by ReHIPS, as an isolated environment that needs a separated desktop to be in?

I'm not sure about latest released version 2.4. Because building parent-child chain for an isolated process wasn't fully supported in ReHIPS 2.4. But in upcoming ReHIPS 2.5 having host and child in the same isolated environment solves the issue.

Just academically speaking, would it work at all if I run DOPUS in an isolated environment? Would it place both the host and the child at an equal level?
