HIPS

I'm late to the party, but, please double-check things if you're going to make lists like this. As has already been stated by you and others, some of these have been abandoned. It's not real smart and for sure not safe to suggest abandoned programs, especially security programs. For some here, it isn't a problem, they know what they are doing and can lock the program down tight. For others, it will just lead to a heap of trouble.

Last, as others have said, check to make sure you are posting programs related to the topic. Behavior blockers are NOT HIPS and vice versa. Sandboxie by the way is neither one and doesn't belong on the list. Not really directed at you specifically, but what's up with the sudden posting of general lists here lately?

 

You can makes life easier for some people, if you will take time and write supported OS and maybe last update date for each product.
So it will more useful then just list.

I know it will take some time

for exemple:
BufferZone from your list
System Requirements: Windows XP/Vista (32-bit)
Last post on news section: Jun 2, 2009
Current version: Version 3.21

And for your information:

It's not HIPS.
It's light virtualisation like sandboxie

And Comodo Defense+ ?

 

cool list to choose from thanks

 

Under paid, you need to add: Malware Defender

Many on this forum use it.

 

ye - just wanted to say hat MD still missing.

my 2ct - Malware Defender (MD) ist for me the best HIPS here around
from the few i have testet (DW, Mamutu, ThreatFire, Online Armor, Comodo)
Online Amor sure has the best database for pre-configured action, but MD
offer so much more in detail i wont miss again.

host-based intrusion prevention system = HIPS

prevent bad actions on the computer - actions between programs or files.
so it ask "is abc allowed to do xyz?" yes/no
HIPS allow the behavior or not - so for me its same.

PS and also - Sandboxie and Bufferzone are NO Hips, just virtual machines,
but closer to the Host than a real VM.
#2 "Virtual Sandbox" same - no hips.

HIPS acts in the real system - not in a reserved and separated area.

 

is winpatrol hips or behabiour blocker?

 

I'd say more of a system monitor then a HIPS or behavior blocker.

 

system monitor is similar to hips then and can winpatrol block/remove what it detects when system is monitor by it when it is attack?

 

Paid version monitors in realtime, prompts for user action.

 

yes i noticed this now my question is does anybody tested againts malware?

 

This is what Bill P. (WinPatrol developer) reports concerning his R.I.D. (Real-time Infiltration Detection)http://www.winpatrol.com/rid.html

 

thanks bob

 

detects means blocks/remove also?

 

It will prompt user to allow / disallow system changes.

 

this is very simple it will be a good idea to have the pro version with a good solid antivirus for complement purposes

 

It includes a firewall thats y i didnt add MD.

Sandboxie and Bufferzone are "HIPS based white list with sandbox and virtualisation technologies".

look here
AN OVERVIEW OF PERSONAL HOST/DESKTOP HIPS

 

in the general tab of OA u can disable a lot of the other functions, how well does it work withouts its firewall portion enabled and just using its Program Guard (HIPS)? does it still work fine like this since im really not looking for a firewall but want a HIPS.

 

it should be ok firzen i remember i tried this and it was find

 

For me no. HIPS monitor all the processes, the services, the applications and the activities in the system, they take the deep and the full control of the system, while the BB detect and alert only some kinds of applications and activities, those that every BB valuates maliciouses or potentially dangerouses.

 

So you think that WinPatrol (Plus) may a BB perhaps?

 

I had seen it classified as an Intrusion Detection System in the past.

 

OA's working great and MUCH lighter than i remember it in v3.5, no noticeable at startup or in use. i disabled the firewall and then found that i can uninstall the firewall portion right in the GUI which is PERFECT for me, very happy atm.

although the oasrv process has quite high IO Reads

 

Thank you for this interesting list, what are really FREE HIPS for Win 7? Only ThreatFire, Comodo D+ and PC Tools FW+?

So you are running OA HIPS without firewall?
