Re: Spam Revolt - Botnet Protection

Unfortunately, I was unable to reply to ab older thread, with the name name, I started last year, so I'm opening this one to mention that there's a free version available. In case someone is interested.

I find interesting that at their website they mention that (not sure about the free version) It monitors program installation, registry and file changes, keyboard and mouse code control, and other potentially dangerous behaviors.

So they removed the the features of Peerblock?
EDIT: Went to the site and it seems they added new features.
Images for the free version: http://www.softpedia.com/progScreenshots/BotRevolt-Free-Edition-Screenshot-234861.html
Free version doesn't have the "Incognito Feature" and the Automatic Updates. (I only based this on the softpedia page)

 

No. From what I read at the website, it still does that, but the intriguing part is how it manages to monitor system changes? Does it work like a behavior blocker as well?

I got no way to test it out, but if someone has a testing system, it would be interesting to know how it manages to do that.

 

I'm wondering about that too. I thought it's HIPS but looking at the screenshots it doesn't have any options for that.

 

Has a 2 way firewall.
Interesting looking program.

Hope somebody tests this and gives us some feedback.

 

Make a image snapshot, disable AppLocker, install program, test, put image back, sounds like a fun project to automate with PowerScript

 

You did not!! I had it coming I suppose.

Unfortunately, I got no hdd/other where to create such an image any time soon. Yes, it's sad, I haven't created any images in a long time.
