What is your security setup these days?

According to Ilya over at DefenseWall forums, maybe this tuesday.

I'm sure that's only if all is well.
Still 2.45 pre-release is running stable and solid here.

 

is this version going to be with the outbound protection built in?

 

No. Not till 2.50

Active skin engine fix may come first.

 

ok thanks buddy

 

Thanks Ilya for the ActiveSkin fix.
That was one of my biggest problem.
Is the "run as trusted all" and "run as trusted" system going to change?

 

This is how it look's now.

 

Wow, it looks more clean and better than the previous one.
Thanks for the screenshot!

 

Newest setup, light and efficient:

KIS 2009
Superanti spyware
Ewido anti spyware

 

After investing some time in my browsers firewall, see https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1287767&postcount=1

I decided for the XP SP3 box to go back to TF (with outbound rule) and GeSwall Pro (set network device as confdential to limit outbound of untrusted programs).

Still have a cold Opera start of just 2 secs (XP firewaal off)

 

XP Pro SP3
LNS 2.06p3 (Phantom's ruleset)

Thanks!

Though I am sorry to correct you, but Distrust 0.81 works with Firefox 3.01. The Distrust LINK in one of the reviews says to go to the developers site and download it there. They provide the direct download address too.

Also I don't need NoScript because if anything bad happens, it is inside my sandbox so doesn't matter and it gets deleted after I close Firefox. I don't like NoScript because it interferes with a lot of websites and its annoying having to allow each of them to be viewed normally.

Defensewall 2.45

 

Many of you change or optimise their security setup.

I don't. I keep it clear and simple, ie, a russian setup:
active:
DefenseWall
(Windows Firewall) - I'm behind a router

On demand:
DrWeb CureIt
AVZ

 

You can still use Noscript for it's anti-XSS capabilities.

 

I have been chugging away with the same setup for quite a while now. Only change is that I dropped Prevx. The rest is as follows.

XP SP3 behind Router and Winders Firewall.
Dr Web, Defensewall and Sandboxie all running resident.

SAS Pro, Returnil Premium, and Acronis TI running on demand.

 

XSS is new in my vocabulary (only read a little about it recently) but I will try NoScript and try to set it up as quietly as possible.

Vista Ultimate SP1:

Comodo firewall with Defense+
Windows U.A.C.
Hardware D.E.P.
Firefox NoScript

DeepFreeze
FirstDefense ISR-Rescue
ShadowProtect Desktop

 

Shall I ask you if is there any problem when you restore a FirstDefense Snapshot that have DeepFreeze installed. For me DeepFreeze refuse to load when i restore a snapshot.

 

Did you read my reply to you in the FD-ISR forum? I'd like to point out that FD-ISR Rescue is not the same as the 'classic one'. With the rescue version one has 2 snapshots to play with, no possibility to create new ones.

I do have DeepFreeze installed in both snapshots, and DF always works booting from one to the other. There are rare situations whereby applications don't work as advertised because systems are so different in terms of software and hardware (as an example AntiExecutable, also from Faronics, doesn't even install properly on my machine, nobody knows why) or there may be some kind of conflict with other software. What else do you have installed?

Have you tried to install DF in your original/primary snapshot and then to copy/update to another snapshot? What about if you install DF directly into the snapshot where it previously refused to load?

 

Just set up a dummy PC. It was my brother's, but he got himself a laptop, so now I have a "new" computer all for myself to play with... I have a nice malware colection I'll throw on it

Antivirus: Avast (standart shield, network shield), rootkit scan at startup.

Hardening: SeconfigXP and WWDC. SpywareBlaster. //This is because the computer will be used sometimes for everyday tasks.

Sandbox: GesWall

I never did post in this thread, so here goes...

I tend to jump around from OS to OS but when I'm in Vista SP1 I run...

UAC on (of course)
Windows Defender
SRP
Basic User for Firefox and its two related folders (plus NoScript-AdBlock Plus-Permit Cookies)

When in XP SP3 I run...

Sandboxie
SRP
Basic User for Firefox and its two related folders (plus NoScript-AdBlock Plus-Permit Cookies)

When in Linux (either Suse 11, Fedora 9, Debian 5 (Lenny), or Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) I run...

Firefox with NoScript-AdBlock Plus-Permit Cookies
and nothing else...the beauty of Linux....

Later...
