My Test on ClearCloud vs Norton vs Comodo Secure DNS

[Guest]

[hkjoj]

I'm interested in comparing the two DNS services such that a simple test has been done.  The tested sites are randomly picked from the two sources and the results are listed below;
(as it is not allowed to post malware sites here, I use ___ to replace some charaters)

Sites                 ClearCloud         Comodo
From MDL (malware sites)
xxxvideo-___.cz.cc       Blocked      failed
barrhaven___.ca      Blocked      failed
k__.ru            Blocked      Blocked
residentie____.nl           Blocked      failed
navash___.com                Blocked      failed

From hpHosts On-line (plishing sites)
www.placepi___com            N.A.               N.A.
pay___.com         Blocked      failed
shoponlin___.com      Blocked      failed
www.seoimpre___com   Blocked      failed
oopsi___.com         Blocked      failed

Please be noted that the results may be biased if ClearCloud is using MDL and hpHosts' lists or those sites are FPs.  However, I still think Comodo may need to have a look into the results.

I'm planning to test COMODO DNS with MVPS hosts file.
$$$ symantec will be a competitor  


awww.. and test result seems to be not good.. CDNS just allows to visit these bad sites...

When i have try it, Clearcloud really don't block all the things and Comodo don't block nothing, i feel the sample you used is too little: could you check with more link and more different sources (also maybe with different ages of apparition of the link)? That can be interesting

As I mentioned, may be ClearCloud is just using MDL or hpHosts' lists.
I do not intend to do an intensive test but it will be even more interesting if someone can made a comparison for Comodo vs ClearCloud vs Norton.

I think maybe some vendor keep an eye to MDL because MDL youtube "tests" are so popular... Maybe someone can paid Dennis Lab to make a true independant DNS efficiency test

I guess Comodo should also keep an eye to MDL....

Which one of them breaches CIS v5's sandbox?

After a day's trial with ClearCloud, I find it has serious FPs for Chinese sites.  Hence I switches to Norton DNS and the test results are shown below;

Sites	ClearCloud	Comodo	Norton
From MDL (malware sites)
xxxvideo-___.cz.cc	Blocked	failed	Blocked
barrhaven___.ca	Blocked	failed	failed
k0___.ru	Blocked	Blocked	Blocked
residentiebeveili___.nl	Blocked	failed	Blocked
navashi___.com	Blocked	failed	failed
From hpHosts On-line (plishing sites)
www.placepill___.com	N.A.	N.A.	N.A.
payp___.com	Blocked	failed	failed
shoponlineh___.com	Blocked	failed	failed
www.seoimpress__.com	Blocked	failed	failed
oopsiar___.com	Blocked	failed	failed

I do re-test Comodo after a day and nothing has changed.
Comodo may need to pay more attention on MDL as my anti-virus do prompt me some of these MDL sites intended to perform harmful activities to my PC.

Do you talk about exploit?

I do not read the details but they are something related to trojan/worm from Avast's webshield & network shield alerts.
