How To Test Hacking Tools Without a Risk of Infection

I was asked by many newbies over here about basic hacking software that every hacker should have. I have until now mentioned about various free software downloads. In this security article, i will mention about software used by hacker to protect his computer from being affected from various hacking software loopholes, Sandboxie.

What is Sandboxie?

Generally, if you are visiting hacking forums or various forums of free software downloads, some of these free downloads are affected or are attached viruses and trojans for malicious purposes. So, if victim installs them on his computer, the malicious scripts get installed on computer causing various problems depending on script. So, the better way is to install such applications on your PC but using Sandboxie.

Sandboxie will allow you to run your software downloads in a sandbox (in a separate memory area) to check whether or not they're what you were expecting. This can be great if you don't trust a download or freeware.

The red arrows indicate changes flowing from a running application program into your computer. The box labeled Hard disk (no sandbox) shows changes by a program running normally. The box labeled Hard disk (with sandbox) shows changes by a program running under Sandboxie. The animation illustrates that Sandboxie is able to intercept the changes and isolate them within a sandbox depicted as a yellow rectangle. It also illustrates that grouping the changes together makes it easy to delete all of them at once.

Sandboxie features:
