Nathan Posted April 13, 2008 ID:16135 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Is there any way of testing this product? I would hate to find out after the fact that I wasn't protected like I thought I was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin RubbeR DuckY Posted April 13, 2008 Root Admin ID:16142 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I take it this is from the post at Wilders? Feel free to point them at the thread already started.I am getting the trial code coordinated with the other developers as we speak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L. Galt Posted April 13, 2008 ID:16143 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Setting up a VM and then finding some of the malicious products in the wild would probably be your best bet, unless you have a disposable system around that you can temporarily install an OS on and test openly, with the full knowledge that you'll be formatting it and getting rid of the malicious files you encountered.I am sure that Bruce will have a more apt (and specific) method of giving you test procedures for testing Malware.

Root Admin RubbeR DuckY Posted April 13, 2008 Root Admin ID:16146 Share Posted April 13, 2008 John, I think he meant protection, which we are in the process of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L. Galt Posted April 13, 2008 ID:16147 Share Posted April 13, 2008 ahh, testing the protection module prior to purchasing it - sorta like the trials you were discussing....gotchya. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted April 13, 2008 Author ID:16155 Share Posted April 13, 2008 ahh, testing the protection module prior to purchasing it - sorta like the trials you were discussing....gotchya.Kind of. Although, sa I've said in another thread, I purchased AM yesterday. So this would be more like self-assurance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L. Galt Posted April 13, 2008 ID:16157 Share Posted April 13, 2008 See, I thought you had already purchased it - so in effect, what you want is to actually test it against known malware, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted April 13, 2008 Author ID:16165 Share Posted April 13, 2008 See, I thought you had already purchased it - so in effect, what you want is to actually test it against known malware, right?No, not quite. I guess I'm looking for something that might not exist. AVs have the eicar test file, in many form too so that the user can see that not only was the .com file detected but so was the .zip file and the .zip2 file. Someething like that would be nice, if indeed it exists, to where AM could showoff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin RubbeR DuckY Posted April 13, 2008 Root Admin ID:16168 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Aha. You can rename an executable to d.exe and place it in your root drive. That is our little testing file. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L. Galt Posted April 13, 2008 ID:16173 Share Posted April 13, 2008 nice. Gonna create a blank d.exe file in root right now and see if MBAM goes crazy or not.Thanks for the info, Marcin! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigger93 Posted April 13, 2008 ID:16175 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Heh.I just created d.exe in the Root Drive (C:\) and scanned with MalwareBytes. It didn't find anything. Just saw post below: Nevermind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin RubbeR DuckY Posted April 13, 2008 Root Admin ID:16176 Share Posted April 13, 2008 It has to be executable. A blank EXE will not execute. I suggest you just rename HJT or another program to name it d.exeFile has to be bigger than 0 bytes as well for scanner to pick it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L. Galt Posted April 13, 2008 ID:16178 Share Posted April 13, 2008 good point - thanks for the tip.I might be funny and RAR up a *nix distro, then make it self extracting and then rename it to d.exe and place it in the root - jsut to see what MBAM does....I am starting with a 180 MB ISO....wish me luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
