[ UPDATE - 2 ] Test Your Computer's Security - How well are you protected ?

UPDATE 1

UPDATE 2

------------------------------------------

1) - Spycar



What is Spycar?
Spycar is a suite of tools designed to mimic spyware-like behavior, but in a benign form. Intelguardians created Spycar so anyone could test the behavior-based defenses of an anti-spyware tool. Spycar runs only on Windows, the same platform most targeted by spyware developers.

What does Spycar do?
The following links are Spycar. Clicking on each of the links will make Spycar try to take some benign action on your system. When you first run it, Spycar will ask you to name a test profile, a small file where we'll store state information about a given series of Spycar tests you perform. Then, when you click on each link, Spycar works by pushing a Windows executable to your browser. Currently, Spycar runs only on Windows, and its browser-centric alterations focus on IE, although it can be triggered by any Windows browser (Firefox-altering Spycar modules will be released soon!).

Spycar does not include any exploits, so you must click "OK" in the message that appears in your browser to run the given Spycar function. If, after you click "OK", your anti-spyware tool blocks the given Spycar action, good for you! If not, this benign alteration will occur. Then, when you have clicked each of these links, you can click on the Results/Clean-Up link to have the Spycar tool called TowTruck automatically measure how your anti-spyware tool did, and to restore your machine to the pre-Spycar settings.

Note that we designed Spycar as a series of different links and associated executables. We did not make it a monolithic one-click-to-conduct-all-actions programs, because an anti-spyware tool may shut down a given program early on in its cycle, without letting Spycar accurately test later modules. That's why you have to click on each link, giving your anti-spyware tool a fair shot at stopping each individual action.

8 ) -Test My PC Security Battery of Tests .



Test My PC Security has a wide range of downloadable firewall leak and HIPS tests so you can find out just how good your security software is.

Firewall Leak Tests – Firewall leak tests are written to test how effective the firewall component of your security software is at detecting and blocking outgoing connection attempts. If a program is able to connect to the internet without your knowledge then it is capable of transmitting any private data you may have on your machine. The techniques used by these programs are sophisticated but are representative of real world threats – so your firewall needs to block them.

HIPS Tests – Tests designed to check how well your security software protects your internal system from attack by malicious executables such as viruses. A good HIPS system will restrict access to your critical operating system files, registry keys, COM interfaces and running processes. It should block untrusted processes from modifying the memory space of other programs and stop malware whenever it tries to install itself.

Firewall Leak and HIPS tests – These tests are designed to test both of the above at the same time (both the Firewall and Host Intrusion Prevention components of your software).

14) - Zemana Logging Tests .

These test programs simulate the activities of different loggers. If your security software is protecting you proactively, then the simulation should trigger a warning message.

No warning means no proactive protection... and probably no protection at all!

If the simulation does not trigger a warning, then your current security software does not protect you .

16) - BufferZone Security Test Tool



In the following demo, we will simulate what will happen when you receive a malicious file. It could come in through any number of ways: browsing, as an email attachment, from a USB storage device, just to name a few.

We will attempt to prove that none of your security system's defense layers will identify or alert you to our intrusion attempt.

Note: This is only a demo and no actual damage will be caused to your PC.

17) - Matousec Security Software Testing Suite



Security Software Testing Suite (SSTS) is a set of tools used for testing Windows security software that implement application-based security – i.e. most of the Internet security suites, HIPS, personal firewalls, behavior blockers etc. SSTS is based on the idea of independent programs that attempt to bypass various features of the security software. Each test of SSTS is directed against a single feature or against a few closely connected features of the security software.

18) - RUBotted - Test if your PC is Acting like a BOT .



RUBotted monitors your computer for potential infection and suspicious activities associated with bots. Bots are malicious files that enable cybercriminals to secretly take control of your computer.

As more bots secretly take control of computers and use these infected machines in malicious activities, bot networks are becoming more resilient. The emergence of new bot families and the continued proliferation of some of the threat landscape's most notorious botnets only reinforce the need for a reliable solution against botnets.
It is capable of detecting known and unknown variants of known botnet families including some of the most notorious botnets today:

• ZBOT/ZeuS – bank information stealer
• KOOBFACE – most successful Web 2.0 botnet
• WALEDAC – infamous spamming bot

What an excellent post! Thank you very much for the time it took to put this together.

[grouchysmurf]

:rockon: Fantastic. Very nice list and all in one place. I do not know if this will count for anything,

but if maybe an admin could sticky this, I think it would be a good thing. As a mozilla FF user

with add-ons, most of those tests will not run unless I allow them to. Having said that, it is still

very nice to check my set up across multiple sites.

Once again, thank you.

[respeee]

excellent post! Thanks. B)

That's really nice :dance2: .+1 for u.

good job in compiling this tests/sites .... topic pinned :)

[toyo]

Title "streamlined" a little :) and +1 :)

[majithia23]

thanks guys ... :)

had all these tools/links collected and bookmarked , over quite some time ,

but found them while day cleaning the browser ....

so thought of compiling them together and obviously then sharing it ...

( else what would be the use of compiling .... ^_^ )

you can be sure of running a well tuned setup ,

but its always a feel good factor and reassuring to test it and see some warning sounds and alert messages ... ! B)

PS -- Added a few more Tests ...!

i ll keep checking and if found , more will be added to the list ..

>>if any other member also has an interesting tool / application / resource , for testing ,

share it with us .... :)

IF any of you have installed the Finjan/M86 Security Labs Extension in Firefox.. I would suggest removing it and opening the prefs.js file for the profile you have it installed in... Then take a look at the entries which are left behind.. May be a good idea to remove all of the entries for Finjan in that area... I have attached the file... which is an excerpt almost to big for an attachment...for your viewing pleasure..

hello people sorry to posting this actually when you installing pc security test it will install 2 malware test file in c:\windows and c:\windows\system or system32 folder. namely system.exe and virus2.exe. if your antiwhatever does not detected the manually scan for this file and upload it to online virus scan and check the result and delete it, thats it bye bye. :P

ps: thanks for the info nsane. (about the tools shared) :D
