Serious Discussion [Extension] Symantec browser protection(Symantec intelligence)

[Vitali Ortzi]

seems like it uses web pulse( you can verify by seeing every link and script etc inside the page being sent to https://ent-shasta-rrs.symantec.com/webpulse/* by a GET request ) and to modify defaults to add more categories or set threat by changing (category_ids), (threat_level)

the defaults are basically using only catagory based detection and set to malware , pishing only and they used these defaults to have the lowest amount of false positives possible on their end
but if anyone has time to modify the extension i would recommend setting threat_level to between 10-8

here you can read about risk threat Categories Are Useful, But It Is Time For Risk Levels and here is a whitepaper about the tech used in webpulse https://docs.broadcom.com/doc/webpulse-en

Hello, how can I configure this extension?

 

[Vitali Ortzi]

Hello, how can I configure this extension?

it doesn't have options to configure it you got to modify the extension via an ide ,text editor that's what i did to unlock features (SBP.js)
you put the number of the category you want block and then add :100


for example i used this categoryLevels:{categoryLevels:{92:100,18:100,43:100,44:100,124:100,98:100}

92 is Suspicious and 18 is Phishing and 43 is Malicious Sources/Malnets 44 is Malicious Outbound Data/Botnets 124 is Compromised Sites 98 is Placeholders




anyway i probably will add for myself more categories like 101 ,102

if you need help feel free to dm me
