Virtualization software lets you run Windows on macOS or Linux systems, and other OSes on Windows machines, too. Here are your best options for software that lets you run one OS inside another.

In computer security, a 'sandbox' is a security mechanism for separating running programs, usually in an effort to mitigate system failures or software vulnerabilities from spreading. It is often used to execute untested or untrusted programs or code, possibly from unverified or untrusted third parties, suppliers, users or websites, without risking harm to the host machine or operating system.^[1] A sandbox typically provides a tightly controlled set of resources for guest programs to run in, such as scratch space on disk and memory. Network access, the ability to inspect the host system or read from input devices are usually disallowed or heavily restricted.

In the sense of providing a highly controlled environment, sandboxes may be seen as a specific example of virtualization. Sandboxing is frequently used to test unverified programs that may contain a virus or other malicious code, without allowing the software to harm the host device.^[2]

Implementations[edit]

A sandbox is implemented by executing the software in a restricted operating system environment, thus controlling the resources (for example, file descriptors, memory, file system space, etc.) that a process may use.^[3]

Examples of sandbox implementations include the following:

• Google Sandboxed API^[4]
• A jail: network-access restrictions, and a restricted file system namespace. Jails are most commonly used in virtual hosting.^[5]
• Rule-based execution gives users full control over what processes are started, spawned (by other applications), or allowed to inject code into other applications and have access to the net, by having the system assign access levels for users or programs according to a set of determined rules.^[6] It also can control file/registry security (what programs can read and write to the file system/registry). In such an environment, viruses and Trojans have fewer opportunities of infecting a computer. The SELinux and Apparmor security frameworks are two such implementations for Linux.
• Virtual machinesemulate a complete host computer, on which a conventional operating system may boot and run as on actual hardware. The guest operating system runs sandboxed in the sense that it does not function negatively^{[clarification needed]} on the host and can only access host resources through the emulator.
• Sandboxing on native hosts: Security researchers rely heavily on sandboxing technologies to analyse malware behavior. By creating an environment that mimics or replicates the targeted desktops, researchers can evaluate how malware infects and compromises a target host. Numerous malware analysis services are based on the sandboxing technology.^[7]
• Native Client is a sandbox for running compiled C and C++ code in the browser efficiently and securely, independent of the user’s operating system.^[8]
• Capability systems can be thought of as a fine-grained sandboxing mechanism, in which programs are given opaque tokens when spawned and have the ability to do specific things based on what tokens they hold. Capability-based implementations can work at various levels, from kernel to user-space. An example of capability-based user-level sandboxing involves HTML rendering in a Web browser.
• Secure Computing Mode (seccomp) is a sandbox built in the Linux kernel. When activated in strict mode, seccomp only allows the write(), read(), exit(), and sigreturn() system calls.
• HTML5 has a 'sandbox' attribute for use with iframes.^[9]
• Java virtual machines include a sandbox to restrict the actions of untrusted code, such as a Java applet.
• The .NET Common Language Runtime provides Code Access Security to enforce restrictions on untrusted code.
• Software Fault Isolation (SFI),^[10] allows running untrusted native code by sandboxing all store, read and jump assembly instructions to isolated segments of memory.
• Windows Vista and later editions include a 'low' mode process running, known as 'User Account Control' (UAC), which only allows writing in a specific directory and registry keys.

Some of the use cases for sandboxes include the following:

• Online judge systems to test programs in programming contests.
• New-generation pastebins allowing users to execute pasted code snippets on the pastebin's server.

Sandbox software are basically used in the software development. It is like creating a fake or virtual environment in the system to test the new programs and tools without even changing the environment of the system. Sandbox software are basically of a great help for the software developers to protect the system being attacked by viruses, threats or similar attacks. These sandbox software are based on the security mechanism that operate in the any application or software in an isolated environment. These will then make it sure that there is no changing in your system after the installation of any new software. It is up to you whether you want to keep the software installed or simply want to remove it. These will make you able to create a fake or virtual environment in the system just like real operating environment in the system. This virtual environment will now make you able to protect their PC or laptop from being attacked by the malicious threats or unwanted changes. All changes will be made on it instead of happening on the real one. These sandbox software will automatically control the installation of new programs and the changes that will be introduced by the new program in the system. After installation if you noticed any malicious activities then you can restore system to its original state by performing reboot and it looks as if nothing happened. Moreover, if you want to save any file or folder permanently on the real local or mapped drive then you can also do the same.
