Hungry Man's Setup

[Hungry Man]

I think I just keep looking at my computer/ setup and trying to figure out how I could be attacked and how to mitigate those attacks... and each time I do that I see some hole and thing "Oh damn I'd better patch that up" and it leads to a rather comprehensive setup haha

honestly if someone really want to attack you (i dont think so , your files are not labelled Top Secret ), they will succeed. so dont ùmind too much about it, no computer is 100% bullet-proof.

An example for this was TeamViewer Application its a legal remote access software.

That can grant access through the other computer. By knowing the username and password that was using this software too.

So imagine your computer was attacked by this style and your vulnerable.

if you allow apps like vnc or teamviewer or any remote access apps, you must be prepared that one day the credentials may be compromised.

Oh I know that. But I'm going to make it as hard as possible for them =p

The easy part is securing 3rd party applications, the hard part is securing the OS.

I don't use any remote applications like this but if I did I'd use something like applocker to block them from running at all until I give the say-so.

if you allow apps like vnc or teamviewer or any remote access apps, you must be prepared that one day the credentials may be compromised.

At this point I just assume that every possible attack vector is already compromised. It's the only way to actually secure them because you have to assume that patching is useless.

Liking it? Give it some time, you ll love it and eventually you ll get hook
on it, like many.

I wont give you my opinion about using SBIE along Comodos sandbox
but I am sure, soon, hopefully sooner than later, you ll realize whats
best.

Haha I'm still just trying to figure out if the two are conflicting or not.

Looking to configure applocker as well to block execution in certain folders.

im satisfied with SB free, waiting 4 sec is not killing me ^^

 

[Hungry Man]

Free just didn't offer enough protection. I run too many sandboxed programs at once.

 

[Deleted member 178]

shadow defender shadow mode + Sandboxie is enough to me ^^

For someone like you, whose playing around everyday with different software,
SBIE free is more than enough. The protection on both versions is exactly
the same. The only differences are, ONE, registering your copy allows you to
force programs and folders to open sandboxed and, TWO, The registered
version allows you to have more than one sandbox open at the same time.

SBIE free, is enough. If you want, I ll show you how.

For me, I got to have a registered copy. Why? because I do everything
sandboxed. Basically, nothing is run out of the sandbox and unlike you,
I don't change setup. My setup, as of now, is the same setup that I had
on January1 of this year.
Bo setup
Sandboxie
NoScript
XP Firewall
Run as Adm

I can run as I do, ONLY because I use SBIE. It would make no difference if
I was using the free version. Registering your copy makes things more
automatic, less thinking required but you can set your sandbox as tight as
mine even though you are using the free version.

Tzuk is a very generous fellow, nothing that has to do with security is taken
out of the free version. Nothing.

I use Digsby and Chrome at the same time, therefor I need the pro to use both sandboxed. If I had them both in one sandbox it would defeat the purpose, malware brought in by chrome could run and listen in on digsby.
