![]() ![]() But it does trigger exploit behavior to see if the installed protection has real exploit mitigations in place or not. ![]() MBAE-TEST.EXE simulates exploit behavior like executing from the Heap, ROP gadgets, etc., but it is not weaponized and instead simply pops open the Windows Calculator. Even PUPs are often employing rootkits these days as well as polymorphism to try to escape detection. If you look at the modules that have been added to Malwarebytes over the years you'll likely notice a pattern, they've been getting further and further away from traditional signature detection methods and rely more and more on behavior based and signature-less approaches to threat and breach detection to stop malware earlier in the attack chain, something that is invaluable these days since most threats are polymorphic and many don't even use files/binaries any more so traditional detection methods are useless against them. In fact, most vendors still appear to rely primarily on signatures, though most have at least migrated to a more heuristics/pattern based approach (something Malwarebytes was into from the very beginning and in fact why it was created due to polymorphic rogues and Trojans that couldn't be nailed down using traditional hashing based methods still commonly in use across the AV industry at the time). They claim to have exploit protection in their product but I've honestly never seen it detect one. Tested also on ESET and ZERO reaction again. ![]()
