Verifying malwarebytes anti-exploit working..

Recommended Posts

Hello! I decided to give it a shot to "verify" that Malwarebytes anti-exploit was actually working by  testing it with the tool that is provided at the forums.

 

It was nice to see that Malwarebytes was doing its job, but i decided to try chance the  "exploits" name or the .exe files name and ran it again.

 

This time anti-exploit didn't  react at all and calculator opened normally when it wasn't supposed to, would someone explain this to me?

I would assume he meant "change" the name (rather than "chance" the name).

 

Babattaja:  Since MBAE monitors files based on their filename, by changing a program's name, it will no longer be protected by MBAE.   MBAE does not monitor everything running on your system --- it only monitors the programs included by its default configuration [and, if you have the PRO version, any programs added by the user].

 

The point is that only certain types of programs (e.g., browsers, Office-like programs, e-mail clients, pdf readers, Flash, Java, media players) are typically objects of exploits.

Yes, he is correct indeed. I apologise for my bad English and grammar. But that clears some things up, i didn't realise that changing (Not Chance :) ) name of the program, that i tought it was the actual program that was trying to exploit the calculator but not the test program itself or something. Anyways thank you guys!

But that clears some things up, i didn't realise that by changing (Not Chance  :) ) name of the program it would not protect it anymore and  i tought that  the test program was trying to exploit the calculator but not itself ( i'm not sure how it works) but anyways thank you guys!


 


And sorry for double (Making it more understandable)
