    I like ERP 4 more than version 3 because it provides much more functionality. The expression builder is such a powerful tool.

    Exactly my own sentiments and experience. Expression builder, yes takes a lil extra effort but absolutely confines most if not all runnings locked to a user's choice select RULES and obeys those preferences to a "T"

    One of the things I do is define exactly what executables vulnerable applications are allowed to spawn. If my browser tried to launch anything other than plugin-container.exe, maintenanceservice.exe, updater.exe, and pingsender.exe it would not be able to because those are the only executables I have allowed firefox.exe (parent process) to spawn. I can whitelist by hash, sigital signature, path, etc. so that a malicious executable with the same name can't slip by.

    I think if users take a little bit of time to master expression builder they will really have a great appreciation for version 4.

    I hope they are working hard on ERP. I thought there would be another beta release by now. I can't wait to upgrade my machines to ERP 4.

    Can you perhaps explain how to configure ERP v4, to block all processes from running explorer.exe and svchost.exe except for certain system processes?

    have a rule where you set it to "Ask" when something gets ran from Parent process svchost.exe or explorer.exe
    then whenever something you want to allow pops up, tick every field in and tick the "remember" box, aka it creates a rule for that certain thing to allow

    tho i'm not sure why you want this cause ERP v4 has a vulnerable processes list that covers most problems and everything that doesn't belong to a wider rule gets asked if you want to allow it to run.

    also settings has an "Allow system files" option that will probably be handy for your case.

    Create a deny-rule which is blocking all processes (Parent Process) from launching explorer.exe (Child Process), then create exception-rules for (Parent-)processes (for example userinit.exe need to launch explorer.exe, ...) which are allowed to launch explorer.exe
    Do the same for svchost.exe (for example services.exe need to launch svchost.exe)

    RadarPro_(1)_create rule from event.png RadarPro_(2)_edit rule from event.png
    If a rule is created ("Create Rule from Event") all information from "Events" are inserted into the Expression Builder.
    The user selects Name, Path and the rule is saved.
    Now the user wants to add more information to the previously created rule and is using "Edit Rule from Event".
    Of course information isn't available anymore in the dialog (it looks like in the second picture) and the user need to use Copy&Paste or "Read Data from file" to fill in these fields.
    Enhancement: If "Create Rule from Event" is able to "transfer" all information to the Expression Builder, can it be done with "Edit Rule from Event" too?
    It shouldn't override already filled in fields of the rule, it should only fill information into empty (and not enabled) fields.
    In this case editing of the existing rule via "Edit Rule from Event" would look like as in the first picture instead of the second picture.

    I read something here about how to deal with new file versions/new hash, to stop pop ups treating the exe as if it was a fully new unknown file.

    Hi @ Wilders

    Just changed to latest version of EXE Radar Pro 4.0 from v 3.1.

    Is there any way to import into v4.0 the rules that were set up and saved in version v3.1?

    Thanks

    Terry

    ERP 4.0 doesn't "understand" exported rules of ERP 3.1. You need to begin from scratch.

    Hi Mood

    Thanks for your reply.

    Can EXE Radar Pro v 4.0 be used straight from its installed state without creating rules. At the moment I have it in Lockdown mode, but as yet I have not received any pop ups. Is this what you would expect?

    Thanks

    Terry

    Yes, normally ERP is very quiet and none or only a few alerts are to be expected.
    But of course is not completely alert-free. The alerts will begin if vulnerable processes, unsigned installers or digitally signed files from "unknown" Vendors are launched.

    Hi Mood

    Thanks again for your help.

    I opened up powershell.exe which I understand is a vulnerable process there was no alert or blocking.

    Is this expected behaviour?

    Thanks

    Terry

    If powershell is a vulnerable process there should be an alert if powershell.exe is launched:

    I want this because malware will often perform process hollowing on explorer.exe and svchost.exe, but if they can't be launched they can not attack it. The problem is that you can not add explorer.exe and svchost.exe to the vulnerable process list.

    I have just checked it out, and I feel like ERP v4 is too complex. I don't have a clue how to do it.

    That is exactly what is bothering me. Adding something to user space in appguard, or using OSArmor is much easier and just as effective

    ERP's v4 additional functionality as myself and some others might like to call it, "adds" some graspable complexity, if one looks at it that way, which greatly enhances a user's system-and interactions-more or less confining internal interactions into a controlled flow of sorts.

    Just takes, (like anything else security software related), becoming acquainted with it. It's truly become so far a formidable-fully functional traffic control system as concerns Anti-Exe/Process Controller program and so much more.
