nice information, the problem I have observed with HIPS tho is it is often much heavier on performance than traditional AV scanning, although I agree HIPS is much better prevention, its just the performance impact I have an issue with.
some people don't understand that RAM & CPU usage isn't the main indicator of resources usage; I/O reads & writes are even more important.
yeah I had a look for it but seems is no way to download it? I can assure you other hips can have a large impact, especially comodo. Comodo can be felt on a 4.3ghz clocked haswell pc, and brings my laptop almost to a halt. It does seem to vary largely from product to product tho. Private firewall HIPS is pretty fast but also buggy and very noisy. I would love a happy medium,. where the HIPS is not overly complex and noisy as well as an invisible performance hit. Nod32 HIPS also seems fast, but the problem I have with nod32, it is not really a proper HIPS, as I see it. HIPS having a higher impact than a real time AV is logical anyway, an AV just scans files on demand when read, written and has a caching system so it only scans once, whilst a HIPS has to monitor all activity such as registry reads, writes, filesystem activity, memory access and so on. For executable permission system I feel applocker is the best out there but am really annoyed microsoft have locked that out for consumer win8/10 users it was awesome for me on windows 7. SRP is buggy when using DLL protection so I have to run it in executable mode only, and the posts I read on EXE radar pro dont fill me with confidence either.
depends on what the bottleneck is of the hardware and size of impact. e.g. my laptop has a blazing fast samsung 830 ssd but a pretty old generation core2duo cpu. I have a new laptop ready to use, which has a much faster i3 5005 but came with a snail paced 5400rpm hdd . It will have a ssd in it when I start using it, so maybe my tolerance for performance penalties will change on that laptop.
ReHIPS 2.2.0 will be released soon. No ETA as we are still beta testing and reporting issues, areas that need improvement, etc.
you guys got it free I am guessing? one of those situations where I missed the boat. I dont know how long I am prepared to wait tho as usually once I settle on a setup I tend to stick to it for a while. If you still beta testing why is there no beta version to download? The website claims the beta has ended.
I signed up as beta tester long time ago. I'm like you. I find security setup and stick with it. Basically always includes AppGuard and Adguard.
thank you, registered. The annual pricing model is probably not going to be affordable for me tho, its going to have to be very good to make me put it on multiple devices. Sadly it seems the way security software is going with pricing.
https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/rehips.364248/page-5#post-2584079 registered for it now so I can try it out.
Why sadly? Everything has a cost. Software development is not the exception, good for them and I wish them best of luck.
actually , it is a closed-beta, so no downloads; we are less than a handful to beta-test it. We were selected because we were the ones talking/promoting/reporting bugs of the previous version. Maybe after the new version will be released, they will recruit more closed-testers, but i cant speak for them.
Was around $15.00 not sure of current prices? And is ReHIPS available is a Family Pack? @SHvFI, Send me a message when you find out,please? Kind regards,
It is still $15. Us beta testers asked about family packs and lifetime licenses. ReCrypt has to work it out. Not sure what they are going to do.
Bring it on! No one is relied on and realized such solid interception and more protection then ever as when I used EQS back on XP. You could even set it to prevent ANY folder drops whatsoever on the system which pretty much stymied many of those notorious droppers that liked to use that tactic too. Scripts? Add a custom rule for any and all of those and Bingo! alert and suspended attack attempt in mid flow. Stopped those dogs right in their tracks!
If it were so easy, preventing drops to Appdata's folder is easy and prevents majority of malware, but it also breaks everything.
In EQS the folder drop was merely pre-empted and suspended while the end user reads the details as ORIGIN>DESTINATION along with name etc. If it's of valid use you could simply press ALLOW and all continued unabated and then you could tweak your rule to include that folder in a WHITELIST. I am still steaming h0t that the china developer didn't at least fashion an x64 driver before they bailed and abandoned ship on the once effective project. Been empty ever since.
well I registered but heard nothing, maybe that registration page they forgot to take down and now they made it a closed shop? so no rehips for me as they have provided no method to test the software.
yes but lets put into perspective. This software does one element of security, and lets say e.g. I have 3 computers and need 4 types of software equally priced, I am paying circa £150-200 a year, much more than microsoft office costs. They priced too high. For me its either about £20-30 lifetime or about £2-5 a year the right pricepoint (assuming per pc). More if the security is a full suite. Also something has clearly gone wrong here, there is people reccomending rehips, promotional youtube videos etc. yet is no version available to download, either make the beta open, or publish a release product, highly unusual situation.
I agree with the above statement made by chrcol "Also something has clearly gone wrong here, there is people reccomending rehips, promotional youtube videos etc. yet is no version available to download, either make the beta open, or publish a release product, highly unusual situation." It is truly hard to fine, unless you write for a link. And then there is a waiting game. Then it take forever to get the next release!
@chrcol It is a closed-beta , so it means it is not yet ready and safe enough to use to be made public, nothing wrong in this. Why would a company would release an unfinished product...if they do , it will be bad for that company. ReHIPS prioritize quality over greed, they don't want sell unfinished buggy products and after being criticized. More security vendors should do the same, and not release some so-called stable version which need a fix one week later. So people have to wait the stable version, i don't see why are you complaining...
