Comodo passes all leak tests

Now, when you run test with "cmd.exe" Jetico answerer see my post #43,#44

 

Hi neonSurge,
I have just installed Comodo (latest Beta), but am getting exactly the same results (running bitadmin for the download) as I did with Jetico. Should there be some alert from Comodo?

 

Hi stem,

It should show some popup like this.

 

Hi neonSurge,.. Thanks,.. but no alert here at the moment. I will try a re-installation

 

Hi Stem,

I am not using the BETA by the way. 2.2.0.11 is my version. I dont know if beta has this ability or not. You can try to add another JOB than firewallleaktester.com site. It may be because that site is down.

Could you explain what bitsadmin is please. I had a quick look around and this seems to apply to XP and Server 2003.

I think with my Win 2k it is not applicable.

 

Hi neonSurge, The beta is not picking this up, have just sucessfully downloaded a file. I have a version 2 somewhere (what version was this "bits" protection applied?)

 

Hi Stem,

The version 2.2.0.11 of Comodo should detect this.

hi,neonSurge, say correctly what succeed when you clik "Allow" (refer to post #78]

 

Hi Olap,
I am afraid I did not get your question. You mean when you press "Allow", it goes and downloads the file ofcourse if it is what you ask. But let me try and post the result.

BITS: Background Intelligent Transfer Service... Yes it is in W2K (pro version anyway) : start menu / settings / control panel / administrative tools / services / Background Intelligent Transfer Service

 

Thanks,

 

When you press "Allow" button, ot does not ask you any further. This is when svchost.exe has FULL access right.

This is all story, with Jetico and Olap.rule, is identical if you "Allow" or "Deny" test not pass. Do you understand now difference!
potential malwares for example first create only job, and your schost.exe resume this job
by next win update without firewall alert!
and read this:

 

Thanks Stem. Was set to manual and not running - now disabled.

 

What do you expect? It is asking you and you approve? Should it still block?
You are still at the same point. We are not talking about restricting IP addresses. The scope of this test is that the firewall must alert me about the guilty application. And svchost.exe is not guilty here. bitsadmin.exe is the guilty application and Comodo warns you giving the exact activity details(Not mentioning about other detailed popups ).

BITS service is not just used for microsoft updates. Many new software will also use it since it is started being documented.

Here is another quote for you :

The perfect personal firewall would be inexpensive and easy to install and use, would offer clearly explained configuration options, would hide all ports to make your PC invisible to scans, would protect your system from all attacks, would track all potential and actual threats, would immediately alert you to serious attacks, and would ensure nothing unauthorized entered or left your PC." Jeff Sengstack, PC World, July 21, 2000.

Ofcourse. Thats another topic and more suitable if we talk about "How to harden the security of your PC" or "Good practices for hardening your PC". This is not just valid for Jetico but all other firewalls. You can start another topic in which your olap rules are presented in a generic form so that all of us can use in our own firewalls.

Good luck,

J

 

Every firewall, coming with a rule for svchost which allows ports 80 and 443 to every IP, can be bypassed.
I know this very well!

Good luck, to you too!

 

I think you have problems understanding english. Stop rambling on and read Message #48, 51, 57, 74.

What other answer are you waiting? Should I put flowers beside the messages?

If you are not satisfied from the answer, please restate your question.

 

not from you! is OK?

 

To All:

There definetly seems to be a problem with failing to communicate for whatever reason. Unfortunately it has also reached a point that splitting off of the Jetico off topic discussion from the original topic concerning Comodo passes all leak tests would not serve the members well.

Having said that....I'll repeat what was asked of earlier by a Moderator....Lets try to keep the replys civil please. If this can not be accomplished and if We still continue with the I wait demanded answer type posts....We'll have to consider this thread for closure or at the least start removing posts.

This can be a very inlightening thread and with co-operation it might be able to continue.

Hi, neonSurge and all, answer to your post

Read this an you can see that svchost.exe is only guilty here!

And I must say, Comodo with default rules how I see from Stem "Attached Images" not pass
this abuses, certain!

Have Fun..

 

Just in time... I can not feel happier
They have released a new leak test, which, most probably, uses BITS service(though I am not sure) and with your so-called OLAP rule, jetico failed. It simply opens the web browser and send data. Are you going to restrict IP addresses for the web browser Olap?

Now you have fun.

Test and see if it fails or not...

This discussion ends here for me...
