If you're doing any malware analysis, I think a VM is the minimum bar for isolation; and separate physical hardware is even better.
You probably want a VM on separate physical hardware on a separate network connection, to avoid it burrowing into the hardware and avoid it burrowing into your network.
Yeah I will usually just spin up something on a public cloud, if I am running an executable of questionable safety.
A lot of people were using sandboxie for less than noble purposes, like multi boxing in matchmaking games in low population regions, so they’d end up matching all their clients w/ each other.
