A next-gen reply.

Ok, now tell me what next- gen is.

For now, the new version of CIS is only advertising EDR by old HIPS. Let's hope that this is the beginning of true changes.
The free version has an option to install only Comodo Firewall:

Guys, just pay attention to the release notes the developer posted on the forum. He made it clear that the only changes are: swapping the word "HIPS" for "EDR," and changing the product name and version to CIS 2027 vxxx.xx.xx.xx.xx. Nothing else was modified beyond those two aspects.

In other words, all the 50+ bugs the community has been reporting for (at least) five years remain unresolved. All published CVEs remain unaddressed. The flaw allowing the auto-containment feature to be bypassed is still there, etc.

I’m going to test this "new" CIS live on my channel. Probably tonight at 10:30 PM (Brazil time). I plan to run two tests:

1) Discuss the so-called "new features" of this edition, perform the installation, check for any different options or changes in CIS, and test this new version against that old PoC that bypasses auto-containment and executes ransomware;

2) Download a bunch of zero-day malware samples, test the CIS antivirus module (just the AV—no auto-containment or firewall) against them, and then rerun the same test with the same malware, but this time using the firewall and auto-containment, without the AV module.

Before anyone starts hassling me: the PoC test will be done in two ways. First, I'll leave CIS at default settings (it should flag the PoC as malware). Then, I'll disable all CIS modules except auto-containment to see if the PoC executes or gets automatically isolated, prompting the user to decide whether to allow execution.

Advertising updated terminology as a new big change.

I've seen people installing the firewall alongside MD, but benefit that would bring over using hardened MD and a hardened OS using one of your tools?

Why are bugs not attended? Is the software so terribly coded that these serious bugs are unresolvable?

 

[Behold Eck]

Yea using a security product with legacy code is a great idea especially when it took them month to fix compatibility issues. They're just keeping Comodo "alive". They redirected to resources to Xcitium while sparing the bare minimum to " Maintain"CIS to "please" the fanboys.

Well at least it`s getting some sort of support if somewhat sparse at times but I`m not really too bothered so long as it works as intended,

For me, any firewall which prompts before establishsing connection is better than W firewall with no notifications.
An alternative it to set rules for each potential exe or process which might be abused, but I find it less tight than prompts.

Some users prefer sandboxing over blocking.

I just finished editing the video. There's a lot to say about this version!
I won't say any more—see you tomorrow when it's posted!

At least give me a hint—is it good or bad?
