App Review CLOSED - Challenge VoodooShield (and Win a lifetime License!)

[DJ Panda]

yes, shouldn't be hard to create.

I made a working bat file but it still takes a long time. Voodosheild isn't uploading half the samples that it needs to and I don't want to give it a bad score it doesn't deserve if there is currently server issues for it.

I dont think there is server issues for VS.

I think there is some kind of limit on the number of samples at once to query or upload by VT i.e at once many samples cannot be queried or uploaded to VT or something like that. And so at once many samples overwhelms Blacklist Scan.

The Blacklist scan(VT) uses the free api because of the latest changes in VT policy. This means they have to follow the limits(4 request/minute).

2. The malware sample set size needs to be between 500-1000 samples.

Then testing takes not less then 2 hrs for 500 and 4 hrs for 1000 samples?

nobody said it was an easy challenge

then nobody can say they don't deserve lifetime licence

Yeah you made a mistake. You can't test with efficiency test and allow by parent on because then you allow it and automatically everything it launches it's allowed.

 

[Av Gurus]

Shouldn't AutoPilot know what to allow and what to block?

 

[SHvFl]

Shouldn't AutoPilot know what to allow and what to block?

No. If the setting to allow by parent process it's on it checks the first file(parent) which is this case it's the efficiency test. When that it's checked and allowed everything it launches are whitelisted automatically.
It's in the instructions @Umbra made at the first post.

 

[Av Gurus]

OK, tnx...I did it wrong...sorry

No worries. It happens. Maybe take down the video or put a disclaimer on why it happened in order to not spread false info. Many will not understand it was a mistake and will dis VS.

 

[Av Gurus]

Video is made for info only and it's not public.
I post video link here and to VS developer in private mail.
If it looks bad and should removed it, I will.

BTW: i just tested with right settings and VS did good .


Couple of time got message "The Cloud Based Scanner is Busy" but it's still blocking.

I deleted the video's post, for improper procedure; feel free to repost when the video will be updated.

Really thank you! Now I feel better!

@Av Gurus, did it really takes 1 min per 4 files to test it with VT? For 50 files it must take 12.5 min?

@Av Gurus, did it really takes 4 min per file to test it with VT? For 50 files it must take 12.5 min?

As per SHvFI, its not 4 min per file, its 4 files/requests per min.

Thanks it was a typo. I've corrected that!

You have an eye of software developer!

Where did you get that number?
50 files is done in maybe 2min.
If you wish I can measure?

It was in @SHvFl post:

We are both in feline kinship so I trust him.

No need to measure actually I believe that even an approximate number of 2 min is considerably less then 12.5 min anyway.

It will continue to launch files and test only with VAi. It will not pause testing because you passed the 4 files per minute. The test though will just be weird because some files will be checked by VT+VAi and some others with only VAi.

Thanks a lot!

So as @Av Gurus wrote it took about 2 min to test 50 files. It means only about 8 files or even less were checked by VT. Anyway VS gave 100% protection - mostly from VAi. Good result!
