Within last 24 hours alone you guys have sent us over 2 gigs of malware! Thats a lot of malware! Our AV analysts can kiss their sleep goodbye for next few weeks and months!!
I can’t thank you enough on behalf of Comodo and all Comodo users! You are making the world a safer place for millions of people by your actions and each and every one you should be applauded for providing us these samples! You are doing it selflessly with pure thought of helping others and I applaud you all!
Thank you, Thank you and Thank you!
Melih
PS: PLEASE KEEP IT COMING, SEND US ONE, TWO, OR THOUSANDS!! EVERY SAMPLE COUNTS!
But make sure the AV Researchers research there malware too!! Users can’t do it alone! (:WIN) And Melih what about hourly updates? Don’t see that in the RC Yet!!
Indeed, we have setup many collobarations with other AV vendors and keep getting new malware. So all is good here… just matter of time to create sigs for all these samples we got (which will take time…)
hourly update is our goal… lets see when we can hit it… its a difficult goal…totally atteinable…
What would be the update frequency now? I think it’s daily. Some AV’s can do it hourly, Some can do every 2-3 hours. Norton can do it every 5-15 mins!! (but I guess they reserve signatures). I suppose over the next few months and a year time line your AV Research & Analysis guys will grow.
Yes. After hearing sigs take some time to make, 2-3 hours would be a gr8 start for Comodo. I know Melih can do it and will push it, He is one of those CEO’s ya know… hehe.
Question, what happens with the files I submit using CIS file Submission?? I cannot select a file of type . so I am sending zip files with exe extension and on the description I specify to change the ext to ZIP. Will this work? Is someone at COMODO reading this description?? ???
Edit: I know Melih is Ok with me sending garbage to his email, however, I do feel bad. :a0 >:-D
You have been a great help darcjrt with all the samples you have been sending us!!!
Thank you and pls keep them coming and I look forward to that 4gb for the weekend
We are building an amazing backend infrastructure to speed things up. It will take some time, but then we will have sig creation from sample submission down to hours!!!
Keep them coming guys! You will be helping millions of users!!
I think everyway will work, but…
A) e-mail will always work
B) camas only when it’s suspisious (at least I think so)
C) through CIS, I donno, takes a lot of time then
Oh oops I forgot to put question #2 in, and now I forgot what it was… (:SHY) (That always happens to me.)
Well, thank for the reply, but I was wondering what are the Do’s and Don’t’s of submitting by email, like:
Should the subject be something special, should it be zipped (or in a rar file), should it have a password (and what), etc.
