Sandboxie VS hadolint

I used to use sandboxie so I could emulate multiple browser sessions without worrying about cached creds or the different portals screwing up my context. It works decently.

Use Sandboxie on Windows. It's open source these days, and isolates processes from making changes on your system. It's perfect to install and run potentially unsafe programs. Sandboxie exists since 2003, and yet we still have people in business worlds running viruses from mail attachments.

Sandboxie

You can allow applications inside a Sandboxie to communicate with each other through sockets even when network access by Sandboxie is blocked1. You can enable Sandboxie network access and use Windows firewall outside Sandboxie to block all applications inside the Sandboxie from accessing the network1. It is also possible to specify ports that cannot be accessed by boxed applications2. However, it is not possible to specify IP’s or IP ranges that cannot be accessed by boxed applications2.

In addition to just taking all privileges way from the process, like Chrome does, there's also Sandboxie [1] and the official Windows Sandbox [2]

VirtualBox dropped 3D acceleration for old OS like XP a while back, you can see it it running "dxdiag" on your windows XP and running the tests, it will do DirectDraw only since the game is a 32 bit windows game it should run on modern windows like 10 and 11, I saw that the main problem is the DRM, so you will need a "cracked/pached" exe, I can't help with that, but do your own search, if you want to be "safe" you can try running it using something like SandBoxie-plus https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/releases

With those pre-reqs, is there anything Windows Sandbox can do that Sandboxie can't?

Could you pls. test if the vulnerability can be mitigated by using Sandboxie-Classic (that is the free version)?

I also want to recommand this piece of small software but it's very neat, Sandboxie: https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie

To skip the "move your scripts to standalone files" step some devs don't like, consider something like https://github.com/hadolint/hadolint which runs Shellcheck over inline scripts within Containerfiles.

This is neat :)

I love going and making containers smaller and faster to build.

I don't know if it's useful for alpine, but adding a --mount=type=cache argument to the RUN command that `apk add`s might shave a few seconds off rebuilds. Probably not worth it, in your case, unless you're invalidating the cached layer often (adding or removing deps, intentionally building without layer caching to ensure you have the latest packages).

Hadolint is another tool worth checking out if you like spending time messing with Dockerfiles: https://github.com/hadolint/hadolint

With Depot, we make use of two Dockerfile linters, hadolint and a set of Dockerfile linter rules that Semgrep has written to make a bit of a smarter Dockerfile linter.

# Download hadolint wget https://github.com/hadolint/hadolint/releases/download/v2.12.0/hadolint-Linux-x86_64 # Download SHA256 checksum wget https://github.com/hadolint/hadolint/releases/download/v2.12.0/hadolint-Linux-x86_64.sha256 # Validate the checksum sha256sum -c hadolint-Linux-x86_64.sha256 # Make the file executable chmod + ./hadolint-Linux-x86_64 # Rename the file mv hadolint-Linux-x86_64 hadolint

The most common linter I've seen and used it Hadolint, which does: https://github.com/hadolint/hadolint/wiki/DL3002 I didn't bother checking to see if alternatives also support this as well though.

Some discussion on that here:

https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/issues/58

The hadolint project does shell checking for Dockerfiles and it uses shellcheck:

https://github.com/hadolint/hadolint

So the approach is definitely feasible, but you do need a new project and probably it needs to be written in Haskell.

how does this compare to something like hadolint?

Also, have you run across Hadolint for linting? https://github.com/hadolint/hadolint
