Again, Sandboxing is not a solution for all problems and if you want to know more about it have a look at. So, by putting extra care in those rare cases when you need to execute an arbitrary application (especially the ones you may download from the internet and not the Apple Store or even some of the ones from the Apple Store amazingly wrapped by some really skilled hacker) it’s a very good practice. So, it’s more of a “try and fail until it works” art and it takes some time to proper master sandboxing.Īpple Store downloaded applications are strictly controlled, but this still does NOT make you immune from IPC interception for example, which allow a malicious application to sniff data from vulnerable application (at the bottom of this page you’ll find a real-world example of this). Many applications may crash when too heavily sandboxed or when specific restrictions are put into place. Sandboxing applications is not as simple as just running a software program.
