Living Room / Malware Forum

Hi folks, I am doing some testing with malware and would like to know if you are aware of any forums that are actively involved with sharing malware (for testing purpose)?

General Software Discussion / Low Audio Levels
« on: December 13, 2015, 04:32 AM »
While listening to any audio from any application (browser, media player, etc.), the audio levels of the specific application do not match the level of the "Device".

To better explain what I mean, have a look at the attached picture showing you the audio level of Chrome playing music and compare the level to the levels under "Device" (that's my Speakers). Although both are set at the same level, the audio that plays through Chrome is slightly lower (indicated by the green bar). How can I achieve the maximum audio from my applications?

I have installed the Realtek HD driver 6.0.1.7680 and noticed that unchecking the box for "Loudness Equalization" improves the audio levels to some extent for some tracks but the levels are still not the same. Should the levels be the same?

Should this setting (Loudness Equalization) be checked at all times? I noticed that when playing some tracks, this setting helps but for some other tracks, it is better to keep this setting unchecked as I notice that keeping it unchecked increases the volume and sounds much better.

General Software Discussion / Re: Alert on File/Folder Access
« on: November 30, 2015, 08:38 AM »
Presumably if something sneaks onto your system it will run as the user who was active when it snuck on, or as SYSTEM.

identifying what USER the process is running under is not so important -- but identifying the PROCESS is.

I think identifying the user along with process, time, type of operation (read, write, open, etc.) is equally important. Think about it, you are browsing the internet or listening to music and you see an alert for file/folder access. You know that you are not the one trying to access it but would want to know who initiated it (system access which was genuine or hacker who sneaked in the system logged in under your name). If you see that a access alert under your name is trying to access, you can take action on that immediately.

I think the program SpyShelter Firewall comes very close to what I need. For any type of access, it alerts me and I can either allow, reject or terminate the action but not sure if someone sneaks in my PC, will it prompt me with an alert.

Thanks Shades! Most of what I have tested only monitors the file/folder for changes and displays a log/alert and some actions to perform post access.

If there is an intrusion, the program should alert who is trying to access what and should not allow the action to complete. The program should exclude operations from the system and the logged in user to avoid too many alerts.

Is this possible by applying any policy in Windows itself or any other programs that can do this? Thanks!
