Discussion of ProSecurity HIPS Owner/Developer Joining Comodo

[Guest]

Well, that's a bad news to know that Prosecurity won't be update anymore 

Does that mean that Comodo will offer a free standalone HIPS comparable if not even better than the actual Prosecurity?

Thanks,

IMHO CFP 3 was/is already "better" than ProSecurity.

ProSecurity's claim to fame was basically that it covered more theoretically possible threat vectors.

CFP 3 is a Firewall + a HIPS, I just want a HIPS (like prosecurity) since I already have a firewall... By the way, I prefer by far Prosecurity (wich look a lot like Process Guard) and feel a lot more secure with it than I never did with CFP. I suppose it's just a question of taste

IMO I think it is a mistake to think of Firewalls and HIPS as two distinct categories.

CFP 2 was a firewall; CFP 3 is, as you say, at this point, a Firewall + HIPS, but I would expect that CFP 4 (if there ever was such a beast), would be a HIPS product primarily.

Evolution.

Because essentially, HIPS means (correct me if I am wrong), a Host Intrusion Prevention System.

What is the role of a firewall?

Wouldn't that role essentially fall under the umbrella of the capabilities of a competent HIPS?

hi, comodo budiies,
I have some questions about it. will the new prosecurity development  be a standalone software  or a included in the comodo personal firewall by replacing the present hips inside? by the way, when will be launched? do you have a forecast? I'd appreciate for your hints and some information about it and its scheduling.best regards.

Unfortunately there is no "new prosecurity development". At least not by Comodo or the original author. Comodo DID NOT acquire the code, they have simply hired the developer. Who knows what they will assign him to?

I do not see any reason why ProSec. will not be developed further, Owner right is to do whatever he wants to do with code he owns, only if he signed some special catch 22 with Comodo, then I don't know...

The usual thing would be for the new employer to enforce certain restrictions on the employee. These are done to protect the intellectual property rights of any new work done by the employee and to ensure that they are focussed on what they are paid to focus on.

These are fairly standard conditions when being employed as a programmer.

Ewen :-)

[salmonela]

Yes, but we shouldn't neglect fact that this Comodo employee live in China, where things are little different...

[panic]

Regardless of where you work, a contract is a contract is a contract. Unless, of course, your name is Sonny Bill Williams ( ;)Aussies will get the reference).

I'm sure Comodo have protected themselves and their new employee in what ever contractual arrangements were made.

Ewen :-)

You know, PR China have laws, contract is signed there (I guess), so contract must be in harmony with PR China laws (I guess also)...which are little different from US...guess ....

P.S. I win, I WIN, I killed panic interest in this tread .......

With all due respect, that is not the general consensus outside this forum.
For some time now, PS is reputed as the best/one of the best HIPS.

Test after test, PS has shown consistency, and little failures (or less failures compared to others).

And it's a very complete product. dll injection AND dll loading for instance.

I'm sure it wasn't his intention. No-one sets out to create a company that doesn't succeed. Sometimes commercial reality overtakes ambition.

I'm referring to the program, not the company.
