    download bifrost from ~Snip. No links to possible malware on the forums. see how it restores the service discriptor table to ntoskrnl.exe lol it kicks Process guard and various firewall like zonealarm etc...
    P.S. bypassing is limited to xp systems.

    Well, there are also cases of "rogue" security software kicking out others too. Since drivers need to be installed (to obtain ring 0 access) you should get a few warnings from AD on the path this test/malware takes. Once you've gone ring 0 however, anything is possible.

    GSS will be updated in the future to tell users if such kernel modifications are made and what you want to do (ie repair), but there is no easy way to stop it as such (besides not running and allowing rootkits.. ;) ).

    no not at all it dont need any driver to install so ad is silent all over the test lol it just goes to ring 0 unhooks all the discriptor table that's why i post here and it is very dangerous although it's for xp systems (most people are on xp).
    it bypasses popular kaspersky antivirus proactive defense i dont know why they not reacted on it still zonealarm too lol it bypasses appdefend easily too.

    Unless there is a new method I'm unaware of , you either need physical memory access or ring 0 access, both of which AD cover. Which version of AD did you try?

    Hello,

    From the information you posted, that really sounds like access to \Device\PhysicalMemory (requires admin account) to unhook all kernel hooks without loading any driver. However AD should prevent that.

    Will be intesresting to heard news from Jason about that.

    Regards,
    gkweb.

    Yes it is a bit crazy that I missed it. I shocked myself even. :)

    It possibly could have been a bit more hidden until the malware started to use it recently, since pretty much every product was vulnerable.

    So Jason, what are your thoughts on the possibility of even more hidden leaks and the possibility of covering them all?

    Hasn't this thread degenerated into a comparison of different HIPS?

    I thought that was not permitted on this forum. I see the mods killing threads often when comparisons are done with Anti Virus products.

    Actually, a much more basic rule applies here - that being going off-topic and discussing other products in a dedicated product forum.

    This is the Ghost Security AppDefend forum section, and all topics here should be solely about AppDefend. (Oh, there can be the passing note that a feature like some other product would be nice, or similiar, but not a total change to discussing other products capabilities against a certain threat.) This thread was started appropriately with an observation that bifrost was able to get around some AppDefend protections. In post #10, Jason confirmed the issue and stated an update will address this issue.

    Post #14 asked about bifrost being tested on other HIPS/sandboxes, and from that point forward, no one even mentioned AppDefend again. So, what needs to be done is a post split, taking all posts from 14 on down, and making them a thread in, let's say "other anti-malware software" under a title like "testing bifrost against various HIPS/sandboxes".

    I'll do that a little later...

    ====================

    This has been done - new thread is here:

    We should open a new topic: Bifrost the last dinosaur of a dying quality species.
