HitmanPro.ALERT Support and Discussion Thread

The wait is almost over

 

Wow HMPA v3

 

Is Antivirussales.com an official reseller of Hitman Pro?Does the license purchased from http://www.antivirussales.com/advanced/?manuf=SurfRight valid for activating Hitman Pro/Hitman Pro Alert?

They seem to provide reasonable discount.

SurfRight Support staffs don't seem to provide definite answer for this.

 

Hmmm..... so where is the link to download?

 

The link is hidden in the meaning of the word "almost".

 

Can't wait for this, all excited now.

Yes, I get excited over new software hehe

 

We do not know this reseller under this name.

 

I don't think EMET adds any protection over MBAE, so it doesn't matter if is compatible or not, and probably according to the features "leaked" for HPA 3 It won't add any protection either.

 

Oh come on, you can´t do this, I can´t wait any longer!

 

Like others have already said, HMP.A v3 will be able to block exploits, just like MBAE. However, it won´t block banking trojans, it will only alert about your browser being compromised. The developer has already explained why he chose this approach.

 

Could you point me to the post/page where the developer has explained?

 

Here you go:

At least Certificate Trust? Blurry technical details aside, EMET allows me to protect any program for free while MBAE requires yearly subscription to do so.

As for HMP.A, all of its non anti-exploit features don't just add nothing to protection. Plus, take a look at this (probably not completely accurate, I know): http://dl.surfright.nl/Alert-3/HitmanPro-Alert-3-Datasheet.pdf

 

I know, just wanted to unhide it.

 

I think I missed that post (the first link), it´s a quite interesting response from ZeroVulnLabs, looks like he´s calling HitmanPro-Alert v3- a "EMET clone", let´s wait and see if that´s really the case.

 

Just an FYI, avast! is alerting me that HitmanPro.Alert is a threat

Hopefully avast! can release signatures that will fix this...

 

MBAE free already covers the most exploitable products
HPA 3 hasn't been released (not even a beta), and it only covers the browser, and all those protection mechanism in the pdf are not really relevant in the way MBAE protects. MBAE protects you before any of all those mitigations are needed.

I not trying to convince anyone, I'm just trying to expose the facts, I don't want to start a vs topic.

 

A lot has changed since the time of the article written below, the fundamental approaches of EMET and ZeroVulnLabs Exploit Shield (basis for MBAE) have been explored. Not sure if its still relevant but makes for an interesting read none the less.

That's a bit outdated don't you think? That was actually the very first beta that didn't have any memory protections and limited hooks. Things have changed quite a bit since then. It's like bringing up old bypasses from EMET 2.1 to trash the current EMET 5.0.

 

Yes i know. I was merely stating an interesting read into the approaches of exploit mitigation (if still relevant).

No discredit intended.

Regards.

 

Before things get out of hand, let me correct or add to some of the things said by others above.

MBAE is about exploits. E.g. it does not warn you about banking Trojans in your browser. Alert v3 has all the skills that Alert v2 already offered. In addition it has most of EMET and MBAE features and then some.

I don't want to spoil any surprises (so I won't) but the new exploit mitigations in HitmanPro.Alert 3 will also automatically protect productivity applications (by file type). If you have multiple applications registered and capable of opening e.g. DOCX or PDF, they are all out-of-the-box protected.
Also without manual configuration, HitmanPro.Alert 3 protects ALL web browsers (not just Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Internet Explorer). It automatically supports all browsers registered as web browser, including Palemoon, Comodo Dragon, etc. The exploit mitigation protection covers all plug-ins running in browsers as well, including Java, Flash, PDF and other document of video viewers.

 

"by file type", what a fantastic idea Markloman. You have delivered everything you have announced from very early on in the development of HMPA and some more. Im sure its not to early to say congratulations.

Regards.

 

great news, I just hope it will continue to work nice with EMET

 

Hello. I recently started using HitmanPro Alert and I have had an issue with it Alerting me about Worldox, my document management software. Is there a way I can whitelist wbgx.exe so I will not see alerts for Worldox anymore?

 

I'm not smart enough to figure this out. Guess I should stick with Version 2.6.5.77?
