Re: HitmanPro 3.6 Teaser

Very nice! Great job Erik! I want to participate.

 

Re: HitmanPro 3.6 Teaser

Impressive! Looking forward to the new version. Great work!

 

Looking forward to testing the new private beta Erik.

Cheers!

 

Very nice new features presented! However, I'd like the scheduler to be inside the HitmanPro.exe rather than in a separate .exe!

 

Cool Logo

 

Erik posted that yesterday at 6:10AM local time and now it's 5:47AM, almost 24 hours since that post. Where is it now? I'm excited.

 

Wow HMP is getting even better

 

I have been using free version of Hitman Pro for quite awhile now and been pleased it is available. However, today on my Windows 7 X64 SP1 pc, it suddenly started hanging during scan at Windows 32 files and will not complete the scan. My other pc which runs Window XP SP3 X32 is still running just fine. I haven't added any apps. MalwareBytes, SuperAntiSpyware and Avast Internet Security do not indicate any spyware or virus present. I am looking for an explanation for this - any suggestions where to start? Appreciate any input.

 

Wow HMP is getting even better

 

No news about the BETA after more than 24 hrs? I'm sure the wait will worth it.

 

Look at this and posted day:

HitmanPro 3.6 Beta 1

HitmanPro 3.6 Beta 1 is here!

Due to overwhelmed interest in 3.6 we decided to release the first Beta to the public.

Here are the download links to build 133:
http://dl.surfright.nl/HitmanPro36beta.exe
http://dl.surfright.nl/HitmanPro36beta_x64.exe

DO NOT RUN THIS BUILD IN A PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT

Please post any issue/problem with this build in this thread or post it to erik@surfright.com.

Changelog

• Hitman Pro is now called HitmanPro. On Twitter use #HitmanPro.
• Added Scanning for Malware Remnants.
  This feature crawls the File System and Registry for common malware related paths (files, folders, keys).
  The Remnant Scan combines a multi-threaded local scan with cloud based confirmation.
  For Beta 1 we are detecting only a few hundred remnants, more will be added in the coming weeks. We are still fine tuning the tooling on the backend.
• Added Scheduler to allow scanning Daily, At Startup, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun at specific times. The scheduler is a process called hmpsched.exe.
• Added detection for infected Volume Boot Record.
• Added detection for files signed with weak Authenticode signatures (RSA 512-bit keys).
  See also: http://blog.fox-it.com/2011/11/21/rsa-512-certificates-abused-in-the-wild/
• Added third opinion scan using VirusTotal.
  To use this feature you enter your personal VirusTotal Public API Key on the Advanced tab under Settings.
• Added chevrons to highlight items in the result list that are running [PID] or start by [Run], [Service] or [Driver].
• Added detection and repair for the HOSTS file that was altered by malware.
• Improved NTFS Parser to work better with heavily fragmented files.
• Improved Direct Disk Access mode to always scan using the lowest possible level.
  Version 3.5 used SPTI to access the disk.
  Version 3.6 accesses the disk by directly talking to the hard disk miniport driver. This has some impact on the overall scan speed since we bypass Windows disk caching.
• Early Warning Scoring in no longer selectable by default.
  Early Warning Scoring can be enabled on the Advanced tab under Settings.
• Removed Prevx detection due to poor malware detection.
• Reworked several areas of the user interface, including a polished new Logo.
• Beta 1 is only available in English.
• ...

 

awesome!

 

Running now...in a production environment.

 

Just finished....

 

Nice! Ran on a few systems, 32 and 64 bit, all seems fine

Lol, how many security programs have you running in real-time? New record?
And that in a production environment

 

The number of objects inspected are a complete map of the entire File System and Registry Hive. The >path< of every file, folder and registry key and value is enumerated and scanned. In other words, the object itself is not inspected, just its path.

 

I know nothing about virtualization...something to do/learn when I have the time.

So, it is make or break.. ...besides I trust Eric, not to release a dud beta.

 

Re: HitmanPro 3.6 Beta 1

Any plans on adding new AV/AM's to HMP?

 

Re: HitmanPro 3.6 Beta 1

Yes. We are working in that area.

 

Hi Erik,

The new version looks great! Is this new version (when released) going to be a free upgrade for those of us that already have licenses for the old version? Is there still going to be a free version just like it is now or will changes be made?

Thanks

 

HitmanPro 3.6 has the same licensing as 3.5.
All 3.5 users will be upgraded to 3.6 when it is out of Beta.

 

I was referring to all the icons in Tarnak's systray
