Shade sandbox is a sandbox-based isolation program developed by Cybergenic corporation[1] where the original author Eugene Balabanov[2] stands as a co-founder.[2] Shade is distributed to consumers as a freeware solution. It creates an isolated virtual environment within your computer: rather than running software and browsing the Internet directly, you can instead perform these actions through a fenced-off safe area. This mechanism creates a highly controlled environment for running untested or untrustworthy apps without threatening host operating system.

Architecture

Shade sandbox is basically a plugin for Cybergenic platform (Security Toolkit Engine Platform), which enables developers to build security-related solutions such as file monitors , API Spy utilities and, of course, virtual environments. The platform is available for corporate customers as vendor's site suggests. These are some capabilities the platform provides to plugins:

- Control over file system operations
- Control over registry operations
- A DLL injection mechanism so that plugins could alter processes behavior. For instance, Shade itself exploits this capability to draw a frame over "shaded" application windows

Reception
