Now that most of the basic functionality of CIS 5 has been replaced by the advanced KILLSWITCH in the new version CIS6(active process list, network traffic list etc.,), it is very hard to live without it.
But, somehow the developers decided not to include it in the installer, they did not provide a separate installer even. (I am not sure, but may be there are some legal issues with it, may be…)
As I see it, the only way to install KILLSWITCH in CIS 6 is through the GUI, via Internet. This makes it impossible to have complete working CIS on offline systems, making the product handicapped.
Can anybody please explain if there is any way to install CCE/KILLSWITCH on an offline system.
Note:The older CCE versions are no longer compatible with new CIS 6 since a lot of things have changed, so I do not think we can use the available CCE 2.5 versions for this purpose any more.
I do not think so…It is the tool which gives most of the information CIS 5 summary screen used to give. It is the tool that allows you to know which processes are “sandboxed/virtualised”.
I think it is therefore a very essential component of CIS.
