How can we test Sandstorm? Will there be a link on Sophostest.com to an innocuous file that will trigger a scan?

With the current detection data, downloading an EXE from all but a few known, trusted providers will trigger the sandboxing process. Office documents and PDFs with active content such as macros or javascript will also. 
 
The exact criteria will change as the threat landscape changes, which is why the detection is provided through the malware scanning engine and can be updated along with malware detection updates.
