HJLBX SSD-Only Security Config

[hjlbx]

Sorry man, I asked about Motherboard. Toshiba makes their own SSD NAND chips.

What is best way to get info. Nothing listed in msinfo32. Maybe run Intel driver utility ?

cpu-z or speccy will be perfect.

I have to leave right now, but I will get it sometime later. I will tag you so that you know the infos have been added to the thread.

@hjlbx Good config, and nothing to add, it is a strong configuration and it is light, I really like it! Thanks for sharing

Hi. I am interested in Quarri MyPOQ in your configuration.
But I am completely confused when I try to get one.
I have registered in Quarri.
Then I find that, it seems to provide 3 "modes" to...to...to install MyPOQ?
Which mode are you using?

I use DLP, but you can sign into Quarri and use whichever one you wish. DLP is the most restrictive, the others less so... try them out individually, you will see what I mean...

It is difficult for me to figure out how MyPOQ works...
Do you have any literature/document on it?
I guess it will create a process or thread to protect the browser?
Could it protect chrome and firefox? Or only IE?
Could it work with Sandboxie?
Each time you need to use it, should you visit its website to launch it manually?

• Only infos is from Quarri website.
• Works only with IE.... unless Quarri made it work also with FF and Chrome.
  
• Cannot be used inside another sandbox.

Thank you for your reply.

Removed Blue Ridge Networks' AppGuard and replaced with NoVirusThanks Exe Radar Pro.

AppGuard prevented Quarri MyPOQ from functioning and caused Windows Firewall Control Service to crash everytime a configuration change was made to AppGuard.

Have you ever tried to add MyPOQ and WFC to the "Power Applications" list of AG?

Yes, I tried. It did not work.

I learn something new everyday with security softs. Barb from BRN states that even when enabling Install Mode, AG is never completely turned off. It also appears that is the case when it is disabled. So if a soft doesn't follow Microsoft programming guidelines it may not work with AG. Plus, there are always the individual quirks of a particular system that make it problematic with certain softs.

This explains one of my problem posted in wilderssecurity -- even after being turned off, AG still prevents my chrome from writing...

I think BRG is working on a fix for that. They are small team so, unless it is a critical issue (bypass), expect the fix to take some time.

Re-enabled Windows Defender.

Why do you use RamDisk Software even though you have a SSD ?

@Purshu_Pro

It cuts down on writes to SSD and RAM Disk adds security. Temp folders for browsers and other temp folders are in RAM.

There really is no speed benefit to running RAM Disk on SSD.

So it seems like you do a lot of testing and hence require this RamDisk. So what would be the operation speed of it when compared to your SSD?

It depends on RAM manufacturer & type. For ex: Max. Memory bandwidth of ddr3/dd3l is around 20-25.6GB/s its more likely you could get a real world speed of 15-18GB/s at stock clocks. Even 1GB/s is more enough if you've a lot of unused RAM.

I have 8 GB of ram and I started to use AMD Radeon RamDisk and configured for a 4GB V-Memory as it stated, a seperate Disk is been created and it seems, the ram resource has raised up to 71%, but I dont know how its working. Can you elaborate?
