App Review HitManPro Alert vs Ransomware

[Amelith Nargothrond]

4/11/2017 - so not that fresh samples (?), right? Or, could they be considered 0-day? Can't figure this out from the video.
Anyway, bottom line: backup, backup, backup...

Thanks for the video!

 

[Duotone]

and I just added HMP.A... Nice video as always!

 

[brod56]

Video not available for me.
EDIT: Fixed now, thanks

 

[shmu26]

Thanks for vid.
Just wondering: is there a different anti-ransomware app that is strong exactly where HMPA is weak, such that the combination of the two provides good protection?

hi miss, thanks for the test, I needed it
poor score for hitman pro alert, I wanted to use it again
but never again!
I wanna know how they protect Pixar, Under Armour, Northrop Grumman, Xerox, Ford, Avis, and Toshiba.

Do you really consider missing 2 zero-day samples a bad result?
If you are expecting a perfect product, your only solution is a default-deny software (and even those can be exploited sometimes, see Voodoshield with WinRar some weeks ago).
There is no perfect solution....

Winantiransom would probably catch them all. Almost never fails against ransomwares but in an exchange of false positives

Pretty much like Voodoshield then. I can confirm some false positives in my daily usage (mainly installations or updates - command lines in the back, etc) but yeah I don't mind it.

It really wasn't a bad result, but it is important to note that HMPA isn't as perfect as so many believe. The good thing is that the Loman boys probably will be working on a new build that addresses the issues- this has been the typical response after bypass videos.

Amelith- No, these are not zero-days. They are the same (except for the two changes noted in the video) as I used for the two previous videos on RanStop and AppCheck. The good thing about testing anti-ransomware apps is that they act by detecting mechanisms and not by detecting the ransomware itself (by SHA-256). So it really does not matter if the malware are new or old as HMPA would be oblivious to it (but all of these are about 3 weeks old).

Shmu- I really think that as a specific anti-ramsomware application Ransomoff may soon get the crown; and if they included a Backup/Restore function it would be there already (HINT HINT, Helig!!!).

Hence the need for multilayered security.

 

[cruelsister]

Or just Comodo Firewall...

yes for a big name it's bad,

 

[Captain Awesome]

Can anyone give me offline setup link of Comodo Firewall10?

 

[brod56]

The reputation on HitmanPro.Alert is way too great... Yes, it is a nice product, but far from perfect

There is only offline installer of the full suite:

[Ana_Filiz]

Guys, try Winantiransom WAR by WinPatrol.

Can't unchecked AV module?

Don't believe so. Pretty sure you're forced to install their sad joke of an AV if you're using the offline installer.

I think they fixed that. A few versions ago, I could deselect AV module
now only comodo firewall doesn't have AV, only online installer available

true true. VS is enough and we don't need WAR. VS has a broad spectrum while WAR only protects against ransomwares (very strong) and certain types of malwares (so-so)
