Defending against MITM attack
- Thread starter exus69
- Start date
DON'T
I recommend against running any unsolicited .exe
What is this executable going to do to recognize a man in the middle attack?
Why Now? This is an older thread.
All seems rather dodgey, when there is a doubt, there is no doubt....

File looks a little dodgy. False positives are possible, especially when dealing with anti-malware products. Either way, agree with GregN. Software does not address OP's issue.

Download Security Check by screen317 from here or here.
Save it to your Desktop.
Double click SecurityCheck.exe and follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box.
A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt.
Please post the contents of that document.
Proper research before trying to discredit someone who like you use his spare time to assist others

online analyzers are behaviour scanners not signatures

Thats for combofix
On the day you join, you post a one-line message.
In a thread that last saw a post three months ago.
The message links directly to an executable, not a web site.
You tell folks to blindly run this unknown executable.
You provide no context, or any explanation on how this download solves the topic of the thread.
If that isn't the very definition of dodgy, then what is?

I apologize for the LATE reply. Im typing with one hand at the moment because I injured my right arm and couldnt be active everywhere like I use to be. I did say run it and post the log.
Next time just use a link checker simple. Sandboxie and BSA is another good analyzer. But you gave bad feedback on a application which you have never used or have no knowledge about. Which is not the right way to go. Either test it or do some research on it. Theres a very good reason I tell people to run that app
ADOBE and JAVA
You seem to misunderstand, my feedback had nothing to do with the application. It was your sparse post that I took issue with.

What you mean sparse? Asking someone to post a log to show them where theyre security holes are?
Sparse: not rich, lacking detail, short.
You did not explain why someone should execute the link, or how it helped defend against a Man in the Middle attack.
Your post lacked critical information that would lend it credibility, instead it looked dodgy, suspect.
The original poster, the person you were asking, went away more than three months ago.

Can't explain it without a log. Forget when the poster left or not. Its about making use of a simple link checker rather than to guess if its bad or not. Unfortunately you did the latter
This is probably a waste of time, but I'll try one more time.
As a part time job, some 15 years ago, I used to work in book stores and video stores - this was besides a job in the IT industry.
At the video store, part of my job was recommending movies to folks - one winter afternoon, running late, I came in and immediately tried to assist a woman - her response was dramatic, "Get the hell away from me!" Later, on her way out, she apologized.
You see, I still had my winter coat on, I looked like another customer, not an employee there to help.
Such things in the movies, and in semiotics, are called "signifiers" - they tell us the set and setting of a scene (for example, a man sitting at a bar alone drinking his drink, chairs upside down on the tables behind him, the lights turned up, the sound of tinkling racks of glasses - the bar is closing )
What does this have to do with you? On the day you join - you have no history here, you post to a three month old fallow thread, that folks should run a blind executable, without context or explanation.
All of the indications, signifiers, pointed towards your post being highly questionable. And you take offense that some other member, actually members, waved folks off from following your terse instructions?
Like your posts in other threads, in particular in the pfSense thread, where you posted just the line "firewall---->proxy---->network", you fail to explain enough so that folks can understand your meaning, into that ambiguity they project questions and conclusions about you.
You really shouldn't be surprised.
When posting, I'd recommend explaining why you are posting, what is it that the post furthers? In which way does it explicitly help?
