What exactly is Comodo Valkyrie? I’ve seen references to it on this forum, quite a lot actually. But so far I have not seen anyone describe what it is… So yeah, what is it? ???
“It is a cloud based file analysis system that tests user-submitted files with a range of static and dynamic detectors - including heuristics, file look-up and real-time behavior analysis. By using FVS, our users quickly gain a verdict on the safety of an unknown file and can help accelerate the identification of zero-day malware.”
Good Q. It is much more sophisticated. It breaks the file into 3 category: safe, unknown and malicious. Also they can analyze the file even further but you need to give them 24 hours.
Comodo wanted to integrate Valkyrie into the Comodo cloud service but from what I know they didn’t done this yet. We still waiting…
I said sophisticated Erm yeah in what way? I do that So yeah basically it provides much more detailed information about the file itself. It test the file against a variety of tools (static and dynamic detectors - including heuristics, file look-up and real-time behavior analysis) to give you the best possible result using AI engines if I’m correct. However the information about the file during diagnostic analysis might seem a bit advanced for many users to understand. But it still gives you an overall opinion and it can provide you with the fast and often very accurate results for the zero-day.
^If anyone want to correct me or add more info please feel free.
Spywar’s malware samples are fresh & good ones. On VirusTotal few detect those samples. So I will try to test the malware samples with Valkyrie & post the results here.
When will this be added to the comodo cloud.?
Interesting name for a file verdict system.Im suddenly getting a urge to listen to richard wagner.
Nice work comodo. ;D ;D :-TU
Here I am only testing Spywar’s malware samples uploaded on malwaretips. He is testing Avast’s new Evo-Gen & FileRep technology. Spywar has mentioned as these technology are new it will take little time to be effective against old malware but are effective against new & unknown malware. So to test these new technology he is getting fresh & unknown malware. Thats why I created a new thread as I will be testing only Spwar’s malware samples with Valkyrie & add the results in the first post along with Normal & Unknown detection by Valkyrie & VT scan results for samples detected as Normal & Unknown by Valkyrie. And I also post Valkyrie results on MT.
Erm yeah in what way?
