YES if you are running untrusted applications or applications that may be exposed to malicious content (like Internet browsers, image previewers, PDF readers and so on). I have got an anti-virus/firewall software, do I need sandboxing then? This because by reducing the access level an application can have over your system you actually help the job of your anti-virus software. Please note: Sandboxing does not eliminate the need for a good anti-virus system, it actually works in conjunction with your anti-virus software.

Need to access external websites (and so, may download malicious content that may attempt to exploit your browser or its plugins)īy reducing access an application can have over your filesystem and resources helps to limit or even prevent (in some cases) the damages that an exploitation can do on your system.

You don’t trust (for example applications you have downloaded from the internet that require you to allow their execution without being able to verify the source signature nor to check their source code).

When should I use Application Sandboxing?

the other is by running an arbitrary application using external sandboxing commands.

one is by using sandbox library straight in the source code of your application.

This means that, by using sandboxing, you can restrict access an application can have to operating system resources like filesystem or network etc… New processes inherit the sandbox of their parent. It is not a replacement for other operating system access controls. This safety mechanism is intended to limit potential damage in the event that a vulnerability is exploited. The sandbox facility allows applications to voluntarily restrict their access to operating system resources.
