Need help with App Control policy refresh indication:
What is the most efficient way to determine if any App Control policies have been refreshed on a machine?
Currently, I am parsing the output of the old Get-CimInstance... command via PS every X amount of seconds.
By far the most comprehensive AppContainer tool I’ve ever seen. Fantastic work!
Excited to announce my first public Rust crate!
A wrapper lib for Windows AppContainer/LPAC sandbox. Create profiles, compose capabilities, low-priv processes, ACLs & more. Great for security-sensitive automation and AI Agents.

I created a small, portable program for applying Windows 11 materials (Mica, Acrylic, etc.) to Windows Terminal, VSCode, Visual Studio and more. It also has blur behind with color blending and custom opacity levels.

I had some time recently to put some work into my win32-appcontainer-tools project. Most of the work went into rewriting the ETW trace tool. Improved AppContainer sandbox creation time. Performance improvements for all tools.

I needed an ACL Viewer that has dark mode, shows file ACLs as well and had fast SDDL/ACCESS_MASK parsing. So I ended up having to make my own.

It took me about a month, but I've got my win32-appcontainer-tools ready to share.
- Launch Win32 apps in AppContainer
- Set ACL permissions per-container
- ETW tracing for Permissive Learning Mode
Special thanks to @HelgeKlein, @f_orderud and @tiraniddo
App Control Policy Manager 5.1
- Dynamically measuring all GUI controls to ensure proper placement in all scaling factors
- Switched Policy List font to Cascadia Code for better, smoother viewing experience
- Fixed some visual glitches and column auto-resize
This release was mostly about handling different DPI scaling factors better. DPI stuff is way more complex than I had originally thought.
I tested all scaling factors but was unable to test 200% scaling since my laptop only has up to 175%.

SandboxYourFox 133.0.3 is out.
I've been running my "Firefox running in a Less Privileged AppContainer (LPAC) Sandbox" as my daily driver for probably 3-4 years now since before I even opened the project on GitHub.

Also, FWIW, I have always used the Edge for Firefox (github.com/bmFtZQ/edge-frfox) userstyle with the Floating Tabs + Rounded Corners (Windows 11) feature/style option. Looks and feels like Edge.
App Control Policy Manager 5
- Added filtering option for viewing all signed/system policies in EFI partition
- Added Vulnerable Driver Blocklist check
- Added button for starting App Control Wizard

Light Mode users:
I made a quick release of App Control Policy Manager 4.8 that finally fixes the contrasting disaster that it was in Light Mode. Dark Mode was always solid, but Light Mode was not. It had dark buttons, scrollbars and header.

App Control Policy Manager 4.7 released, focused on 23H2 support. CiTool provides less detail on 23H2, therefore:
- add asterisk to blank info
- note in bottom-left
- VersionString not provided; parsing from Version
- thanks to @TheWMIGuy & @diversenok_zero for help with logic
