[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1085059, member: 32260"] The [USER=101442]NB InfoTech[/USER] tests use only ransomware samples and the malware is executed in a "standard way" as a child process of some parent process. This could have been acceptable some years ago, but nowadays ransomware is often executed as a payload in a "non-standard way". The attackers can use advanced loaders as parent malware. Shortly, all [USER=101442]NB InfoTech[/USER] ransomware tests are pretty much useless as the protection tests. The right method would be a real-world route that starts from the initial sample and continues through all infection stages up to the final ransomware payload. Of course, the right test should include many more samples (as [USER=92939]@Shadowra[/USER] already noticed) or should be continued several times. With twenty 0-day samples, even the top AV with dedicated anti-ransomware protection can miss two 0-day samples from time to time. [/QUOTE]
