Will Sandboxie hide my "hacking" tools from my AV?

[DerpyTurtle]

So I was wondering if using any "hack" tools in a sandbox would prevent them from being seen by my AV. I don't have a whole lot of knowledge about sandboxing but am willing to learn, I only know what the introduction to Sandboxie taught. Any help is much appreciated!

NO, Sameboxie is a sandbox program which executes other programs in an isolated area. It doesnt do anything to the  exe file.
So i suggest,
1. throw away your AV,
or
2. just mark those files as exceptions,(every AV has feature like that now days,)
or
3. put those files in an archive like rar, zip, etc. The files will be detected but the AV wont do anything to the archive file.(it will be annoying to see warning msg again and again).

Anyway, i recommend not to use any AV.

I find it funny you saying that on a security related forum. 

@OP:
Virtual Machines will prevent your AV from detecting them.
Also, password protecting rar files will prevent AV's from detecting what's inside.

true

True and password protected Zip file will do that too.

easiest way is to add exceptions into your AV. I've heard to sometimes throw it away, but personally I don't want to take that chance, because I work on other people's computers frequently, doing cleanup and all, and I have had some infected files slip onto my flashdrive without me knowing. But if you have no contact with the outside world and monitor everything that goes in and out of your internet, with a 3rd party firewall program, I don't see why you would have to have an AV. They are resource hogs at the very least...

I knew I could add exceptions to my AV, but I didnt want to go through all that work, for the many programs I would want to do it for. Getting rid of my AV is something I would like to do but I scan my files before I download them and I use a third party firewall, but I do not know if its the best I could be using, do you guys have any recommendations?

All a firewall does is block or allow internet connections (basically). A Trojan or RAT with no internet connection, is a worthless file at that point. Granted there are other virus types that can do harm to your computer without an internet connection, but those aren't as prevalent as rats and Trojans are. I use Comodo Firewall, its pretty much a generic 3rd party firewall, it asks if you want to allow a program through when it sees something trying to connect, and you can accept or deny it. As far as screening everything you download, there are online scanners but you could use something like malwarebytes (I think), which doesn't run all the time, but you can start up to scan whatever you need to.

Try and hide all you want from windows, it will never be good enough. Switch to Linux, I promise all you want to do will not be in vein.
