Updated: 05/10/2005 |
Hackers are concentrating their efforts on web-based applications - 75% of cyber attacks are done at the web application level, a Gartner Group study has revealed: Web application security has become a priority in any
organization. The reasons for this are clear: Web applications control valuable data and are much more difficult to secure. Firewalls and SSL provide no protection against web application hacking, simply because access to the website has to be made publicly available! Web applications are posted on the Internet and can be attacked 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and often have direct access to backend data such as customer databases. Besides, web applications are often tailor-made, usually meaning they have been tested less than off-the-shelf software and more susceptible to attack.
The need for automated web application security scanning
Unfortunately manually auditing a web application to prevent such attacks is complex and time-consuming. With a web application scanner, the process can be largely automated. Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner is an automated web application security testing tool that crawls your entire website and attacks it so as to identify potential weaknesses – before hackers do!
Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner first identifies web servers from a particular IP or IP range. After that, it crawls the whole site, gathering information about every file it finds, and displaying the entire website structure. After this discovery stage, it performs an automatic audit for common security issues.
Automatically audited vulnerabilities
Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner automatically detects the following vulnerabilities in web applications:
- Cross site scripting
- SQL injection
- CRLF injection
- Code execution
- Directory traversal
- File inclusion
- Script source code disclosure
- Discovers files/directories that may contain sensitive information
- Looks for common files (such as logs, application traces, CVS web repositories), back-up files or directories
- Finds directory listings
- Discovers directories with weak permissions
- Discovers available web server technologies (such as WebDAV, FrontPage, etc.)
- Determines if dangerous HTTP methods are enabled on the web server (e.g. PUT, TRACE, DELETE)
- Inspects the HTTP version banners and looks for vulnerable products
- Tests password strength of applications.

Host Security Personal(HSP) allows you to view and edit all lists used for web site and IP addresses blocking. It gives you complete control and visibility of all block and permitted lists.
HSP protects you from hacker attack when you surfing the Internet. It can block all unrequested network connections to your computer, or only allow some IP to access your computer and leave all others being blocked. You can also block some specified IP and let the other to access your computer.
HSP can block online chatting with MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, ICQ, and AOL Instant Messenger.
HSP can password-protects files and folders. It keeps files and folders secret and safe by hiding and locking them. HSP can also make files and folders read-only so malicious programs like computer viruses and worms can't modify or delete both your important data and system files. Without password, nobody is able to delete, rename, move, modify or use the protected files and folders.
HSP can restrict accesses to local hard disks, CD-ROM drives, floppy drives, and removable disk drives so without your permission unauthorized people can't copy files from your computer, install programs in your computer, or play games with the CD-ROM of your computer.

Qwik-Fix Pro is the first security application to utilize Active System Hardening which fundamentally changes the way Windows computers are secured. By blocking the underlying security vulnerabilities in Windows itself, Qwik-Fix Pro closes the openings that attackers use to damage and hijack your computer. Traditional anti-virus and anti-spyware tools are only able to detect and clean up your PC after the damage has been done and your computer is hopelessly infected. Qwik-Fix Pro prevents installed spyware and malware from being able to exploit your computer.
Qwik-Fix Pro is simple to install and easy to use. Its intuitive interface and get the job done approach sets this product apart. Qwik-Fix Pro does all the work. The number of security settings alone that need to be updated on your PC number in thousands to equal the protection you will get with one mouse click in Qwik-Fix Pro.
Qwik-Fix Pro stands out in a crowded field of security products by delivering a defense that dead-bolts your Windows machine against attack.

R-Guard Data Security Software 2.2

TBJ Rating:

Updated: 05/10/2005 |
R-Guard 2.2 is a reliable data security tool for advanced access right control, encryption and audit, which extends them much beyond the scope of the standard Windows security services. R-Guard enables the user to control access rights to various file systems objects (files and folders) not only for users, but for applications and system processes as well. R-Guard prevents data from disclosure, theft, modification, corruption, and deletion by another user or various malicious programs such as viruses, trojan horses, spyware, etc.
R-Guard is Windows independent Security System that enables its users to set the rights either for users or applications to access and/or modify file system objects on any file system including FAT. For example, the administrator can forbid access to any or all .doc file objects for all applications except Microsoft Word. After that, even if any virus application starts in the system, the file would never be corrupted or deleted by the virus. Then the administrator can forbid a peer-to-peer file exchange program access to all files in the system except files in its own folder(s). In this case, even if that program launches a trojan, it will never get access to the data or system files. Such protection level cannot be achieved by the standard Windows security services because they control access to files basing on the user's access rights, which the trojan can easily obtain. R-Guard controls the access rights for each program/application individually.
R-Guard is Windows independent Data Encryption System that enables its users to encrypt file objects and keep them encrypted on a hard drive on any file system including FAT and even on a virtual hard drive on a remote file server. Files from the remote server are transferred in the encrypted form and decrypted on the host only.
To ensure strong and fast encryption, R-Guard uses an industry standard AES encryption algorithm with 256-bit key in the Cipher Block Chaining mode.
To secure encryption key generation, the R-Guard Data Encryption System uses a complex randomized block key and variable-length key generated from the user password (MD5 algorithm).
