Advanced Plus Security NulFunction Config 2018

[harlan4096]

@Umbra and @NulFunction: the rules for tagging new configs were changed/re-discussed lately by @Spawn @BoraMurdar and me... probably some of them are a bit more flexible to get, for instead, "Secure: Basic", in fact with @Umbra original ones, this config would get "Risk:Moderate" or even "Risk: Danger"

 

[NulFunction]

Very interesting. But if you don't want to tell me why I'm "at risk" or what that means, what's the point of this subsection? Umbra said he is not going to tell me what's wrong with my config.

---
Note that I made changes a second ago. Since my recent issues with Windows where I destroyed something with W10Privacy, I've seen that I really should use an imaging software. I'm going to follow Umbras example with one Image at the very start and then one Image after latest Upgrade, as well as maybe a third one more frequently. (Good thing is my windows installation is only about 70 to 80GB big)
I relied on system restore points. Unfortunately in the last days I've seen that they can also break to non-functionality.
Changes are:
- I no longer use ZAL since I found out that it is actually just ZAM without much AL in it
- I try SpyShelter at the moment.

You have been suggested by different users insistently about one matter which is clear

You are not in danger now, but Your config could be more complete and safer

@NulFunction I hope you won't run into more issues with SpyShelter and ERP combo, takes time and knowledge to learn both software. Don't overcomplicate your setup too much.

 

[NulFunction]

Safety is no "yea you'll figure it out eventually" matter. Why are you not telling me?
Because of your secrets I'll give you the rating ... "At risk"

BTW using an imaging software was the last thing ppl suggested. (In reality this brings no addition to safety, only comfort)
But ok, I'll go through the thread again ...

No secrets here, some users and me have been suggesting You different ways to improve Your config, re-read the thread from the 1st post

 

[NulFunction]

I've done it. No things to do for me. You sure you keep up with my changes?
EDIT2: Well except formatting and reinstalling windows to get a fresh image without non-working system restore/DISM/SFC.
EDIT: I dont' care if any forum thread is blinking red or green. I just want to know how to increase safety or improve generally.
Your policy of keeping secrets (Why you get Basic or Moderate risk) in the believe that people care more about some thread than safety, is actually hindering safety.

We are here to teach people; some knows, some don't know, some think they know.

The rating are made in such way beginners can be informed if the config they read is safe or not (from a beginner standpoint).
Some members here are very knowledgeable/experienced and use "risky" setups (if replicated by beginners), so they still got the "risky" badge despite i know they won't have any issues because of their skills.

The badge is not only about you, it is also about people reading your setup.

Enjoy

I see. That's why you think Default-Deny is enough protection. Yet it's extremely risky because you never know if the allowed app got switched with malware. For example: The CCleaner malware that got distributed over offical patch/website.

if you use Default-deny solutions, you are supposed to know how to check if an installer is legit or not.
In my setup, the malicious Ccleaner installer won't even be able to run on my system.

 

[NulFunction]

You say that and yet at the time there was no protection against it. (CCleaner was just an example. If you would not even have run a clean CCleaner or not is irrelevant)

if you can't install it , you can't be infected? got it?

 

[NulFunction]

Why would you not install a new update for your software? EDIT: ANY software

my system (around 28-29gb, because i use mostly portable apps) is under Lockdown principle, nothing can run unless verified and permitted by myself (i use SRP for that).

My guess is the use of these Privacy tools.

Anyway. Look here about the AntiLogger and what I believed it to be: ZEMANA Information Technologies | AntiLogger
Unfortunately it seems that it has changed horrendously.

I was going to ask in my previous, but assumed you used the latest version, because Zemana Anti-Logger Pro was replaced a long time ago.

I specifically wanted something that zero-day-blocks keylogger. I understand that no normal AV does that.
