Test with HitmanPro Tool

I have been running hmpalert.exe and run the entire test. I wonder why this tests below not being stopped, all the other tests was stopped. Do 4 and 5 only check for VMware or can it also check for other VM’s, if not that’s why this is not working.

  1. Unpivot Stack (Executes ROP-chain on both pivoted and native stack)
  2. ROP – system() in msvcrt (Runs calculator via Return-oriented programming)
  3. Anti-VM – VMware (Checks if this process is running in a virtual machine )
  4. Anti-VM - Virtual PC (Checks if this process is running in a virtual machine )
  5. Keyboard logger (not an exploit) (Captures keystroke from other applications )

  • Hi !

    Thank you for your questions. Below the answers:

    1. The Unpivot Stack technique can only be stopped by Sophos Intercept when run physical (Intel) hardware (thus not in a virtual machine or VM).
    2. During the development of Sophos Intercept, we temporarily disabled, improved and re-enabled many mitigations, build by build. If you run the test again against the latest build of Sophos Intercept (version 0.7 or higher), the ROP - system() in msvcrt test should be intercepted again.
    3. Sophos Intercept currently does not include the Vaccination feature of HitmanPro.Alert.
    4. Sophos Intercept currently does not include the Vaccination feature of HitmanPro.Alert.
    5. Sophos Intercept currently does not include the Keyboard Encryption feature of HitmanPro.Alert.

    Hope this helps. Best, Mark
