Lately, WDAG and another exciting feature for Office isolation were combined as MDAG – Microsoft Defender Application Guard.

A few years ago, Microsoft introduced Windows Containers (mainly for servers), a feature which allowed running Docker natively on Windows to ease software deployment.īoth these technologies were also introduced to the Windows 10 endpoint platform in the form of two components: WDAG (Windows Defender Application Guard), and most recently, Windows Sandbox.

Several vulnerabilities were found, such as the next VmSwitch RCE which can cause a full guest-to-host escape. The complex ecosystem of Hyper-V and its modules has already been researched extensively.

We also create a custom FLARE VM sandbox for malware analysis purposes, whose startup time is just 10 seconds. We show that several internal technologies are involved, such as NTFS custom reparse tag, VHDx layering, container configuration for proper isolation, virtual storage drivers, vSMB over VMBus, and more.

In this article, we break down several of the components, execution flow, driver support, and the implementation design of the dynamic image feature.

This means we can’t install any program that requires a reboot, or create our own base image for the sandbox.

The resulting sandbox presents the best of both worlds: on the one hand, the sandbox is based on Hyper-V technology, which means it inherits Hyper-V’s strict virtualization security. Judging by the accompanying technical blog post, we can say that Microsoft achieved a major technical milestone.

Two years ago, Microsoft released a new feature as a part of the Insiders build 18305 – Windows Sandbox.
