1. Detected malware by using malicious direct system calls to evade security product. For example, the Magniber ransomware executes direct system calls to inject shellcode into legit windows processes to encrypt files. WVSX can stop this ransomware before encryption, it can also detect malware integrated with SysWhispers to bypass AV.

2. Improved behavior detection to detect recent attacks, CVE-2022-30190 for example.

3. Improved the detection of RAT trojans which use advanced techniques to evade deep memory inspection.

4. Fixed other bugs.

1. Enhance the detection of Shellcode, which can monitor the entire life cycle of Shellcode. Malicious programs often embed well-known customized Shellcode to execute malicious instructions to avoid static detection, such as Meterpreter, CobaltStrike, etc. This function has a detection rate of close to 100% for well-known shellcodes, which can cut off the behavior chain of malicious programs in the early stage of the attack.

2. Enhance the detection of ransomware, add multiple dimensions and models to detect ransomware more effectively.

3. Active defense enhances detection of advanced injection techniques.

4. Other bug fixes.

June 21, 2021

1. Added firewall, web protection, network intrusion detection.

2. Both HIPS and firewall support security level adjustment. Users can adjust the security level according to their needs.

3. Add support to write HIPS and firewall rules. Users can write rules according to their needs to get better protection.

4. Improved the process injection detection, added multiple multi-step models to detect malicious programs using advanced injection techniques.

5. Improved stealer malware detection, in addition to the already exists multi-step models, we added multiple single-step models based on artificial intelligence and reputation. When a program that is not trusted by the AI and trying to access the user’s sensitive data, such as username and password saved in the browser, cryptocurrency wallet data, etc. WiseVector StopX will prompt the user to allow or deny each operation detected. This is a good strategy against some stealer malware that utilized bat files, lnk files, Python scripts to harvest user’s data . Although the code of these malware is relatively simple, the attack is very tricky to detect by multi-step models.

6. Enhanced stability and reliability of behavior monitoring. For example, driver loading, Webcam access, scheduled task creation monitoring is more efficient and stable than before.

7. Other bug fixes.

WiseVector StopX V2.70 is here,

What's new:

1. Added lightweight rollback to roll back changes caused by some destructive malware, such as ransomware. This feature has been designed to remain lightweight and users can hardly notice any performance degradation.
2. Redesigned the real-time file monitoring, it is more sensitive and faster than before.
3. Redesigned the Behavior Detection. Now the Behavior Detection can identify more unknown file infector viruses, being more capable of detecting advanced threats.
4. Improved Memory Protection to detect RAT trojan abuses legitimate processes to hide their malicious implants, such as Gh0st, Meterpreter and CobaltStrike.
5. Malware quarantine is now sorted by date. Quarantine reason is added.
6. The UI is not transparent now, so that the interface can be displayed more clearly. Some new skins are added.
7. Improved the ability to delete malicious files being locked.
8. Now users can select whether or not to automatically download and install program updates.

The download link:

2. Instruction Tracer improved. Recently, we have observed lots of RAT Trojans utilizing DLL hijacking to avoid detction by AV. These Trojans abuse whitelist APPs like Avast & ESET as well as APPs which are released by Samsung, TeamViewer, Citrix to perform DLL Side-Loading. We updated Instruction Tracer to make sure they can be detected without needing signature updates.

3. Upgraded detection engine to improve accuracy.

4. Fixed the problem that Behavior Detection may fail to quarantine malware.

5. Improved detection of malicious RTF documents.

6. Fixed an uninstallation problem in Windows XP.
