[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1122641, member: 32260"] [B][SIZE=5]Learning from Leo.[/SIZE][/B] Let's suppose that [USER=32260]@Andy Ful[/USER] would like to make an educational video sponsored by a vendor of some default-deny protection (like ThreatLocker from Leo's video). It is easy to show the result of running malware on a computer with default-deny protection - the malware will be blocked by default. If we want to add some educational content, it would be good to show the well-known fact that the standard AV will not do as well as the default-deny solution. I do not want to manipulate samples, so the number of samples must be large enough to show the AV failure. With the pule of 2000 moderately fresh samples, the Defender's chances of missing 0 samples are sufficiently low (roughly 1%). Now I can take 2000 fresh samples and run them one by one until Microsoft Defender fails. I do not need to inspect the logs, autorun entries, possible code injections, loaded DLLs, firewall connections and packets, or other IOCs. The educational video must be short and easy to watch, so the details must be skipped. My goal is accomplished when Defender fails once in a visible/obvious way (even if it also failed silently several times). Next, I can run samples against the default-deny to show how it works and blocks by default all executed malware. :) (y) Can I use a similar video to evaluate the protection of two standard AVs? Not really, except if one of those AVs prevents the execution of all samples (100% blocks) and the second fails a few times in a visible/obvious way. Did anyone have the luck to watch such a video? Post edited/shortened. [/QUOTE]
