[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 974648, member: 32260"] The Exploit Protection mitigation "Disable win32 system calls" is used exceptionally in FirewallHardening for Bitsadmin LOLBin. Other EXE files have to be blocked (if necessary) via Security Center or another tool. I used this unconventional method for Bitsadmin LOLBin because it only starts the process of making an outbound connection: bitsadmin.exe --> BITS --> svchost.exe --> outbound connection So, one could only block svchost.exe in the firewall to prevent the outbound connections started by bitsadmin.exe. It would not be safe to block connections of svchost.exe because it hosts many services. On the contrary, the starting process bitsadmin.exe can be killed safely and the effect will be the same as if it would be possible to block it by the firewall. [/QUOTE]
