Incorporate SandboxToys2 feature to show file/registry changes #4167

Open Coldblackice opened 2 months ago

Coldblackice commented 2 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem or use case?

Would it be possible to incorporate SandboxToys2's features natively into Sandboxie?

When running programs in sandboxes, programs often make a large number of registry and file changes, which can take a good amount of effort to sift through and discern.

My current workflow is:

  1. Waiting till the sandboxed program exits
  2. Open Windows' RegEdit
  3. Locate the sandbox's RegHive on disk
  4. Mount the RegHive under the HKU key
  5. Manually sift through it, looking for any notable additions or changes
  6. File-change wise, I open two Everything-Search tabs
  7. First tab sorts sandbox's files/folders by date-modified
  8. Second tab sorts files/folders by date-created
  9. Look to the top to see what files/folders were changed/added in the last few minutes

It is unfortunately a non-trivial amount of effort necessary after every sandboxed run.

Describe the solution you'd like

A function like SandboxToys2's to show a sandbox's net changes afterward would be immensely helpful in cutting down the time spent manually sifting through sandboxes' changes after every run.

Development has apparently ceased on SandboxToys2, even though its functionality is still highly relevant and useful today, particularly its "Watch Files and Registry Changes" function, which shows net changes made by a sandboxed program. It's especially useful given the often large amount of changes, file and registry-wise, programs can inflict.

Having a function like this natively incorporated into Sandboxie, showing a sandbox's net changes afterward, registry and file-wise (perhaps even sub-highlights related to "Auto/Run/Startup" changes), would be immensely helpful!

Describe alternatives you've considered

You can use the feature in Sandman'context menu "Open Registey".Then see HKEY_USERS in regedit,and there will be a key like Sandbox_DefaultBox.

This is about a feature in SandboxToys2 to show file/registry changes at the same time.

This would be a very awesome feature but it requires a lot of work. I'll put it on my todo....
