Sandboxing .NET Assemblies for Fun, Profit and of Course Security

Explore the concept of sandboxing .NET assemblies to enhance application security in this NDC London 2023 conference talk. Delve into the challenges and benefits of using third-party libraries in .NET development, and learn how to create a restricted sandbox that limits available functionality. Discover how to leverage AssemblyLoadContext in .NET Core to improve your application's security posture, replacing the deprecated AppDomains and Code-Access Security (CAS) methods. Compare this approach to other technologies like WebAssembly's nano-process concept, and gain insights into mitigating potential security risks associated with external dependencies.
