Developer’s Description

Protect your system from threats before they surface.

AntiHook is a Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) from InfoProcess providing the best protection yet from Rootkits and other nasty malicious software--in real-time and with zero-day protection. AntiHook dynamically protects your Windows system from malware such as unseen viruses, spyware, rootkits, keyloggers, code injection, and trojans, by detecting and preventing attacks in real-time with advanced behaviour-based technology, and needing no definition updates or subscriptions. AntiHook establishes a "trusted baseline" to ensure the integrity of Windows by blocking and reporting any suspicious activity, including the launching or terminating of applications, modifying the memory of another application, rootkits and kernel drivers, registering start-up programs and installing system-wide hooks. The program is mostly designed for professional and corporate users to protect against targeted attacks and zero-day threats.

A Surprising Disappointment
D_MenaceJanuary 16, 2007
Pros
Read their website at infoprocess.com.au; <p> <p>The program is supposed to offer more protection (but it doesn't really) and due to completely new code be more light and efficient (but it still slows you're system down dramatically)
Cons
High Memory Usage - 40 MB (Shared by 2 processes) <p> <p>Misleading Naming - "Registry Modification" protection, does NOT block a process from modifying the registry, only blocks a process from modifying certain areas such as the startup keys. <p> <p>Insufficient Protection - AntiHook is considered as an advanced product for expert computer users to protect against 0day threats. Yet it doesn't have enough features to offer such complex protection, completely missing Buffer Overflow protection (though some can argue that process start protection protects against this*), and its keylogger / rootkit protection is very 1-dimensional, missing new keylogger / rootkit methods (see Firewallleaktester.com keylogger and DFK Threat Simulator rootkit component.) <p> <p>Insufficient information in alerts, which although technical, doesn't provide enough details to make an informed decision, meaning that if a breach occurs, a user can easily misunderstand its meaning. <p> <p>Infoprocess - there is still quite a long way... but you can potentially turn this into a very competitive product!
Summary
Stops zero day attacks well
oBzukNwaJanuary 1, 2007
Pros
This caught and blocked all keylogger attack tests, rootkit attacks, and buffer-run attacks I tested. <p>Fastest response of the HIPS preventers I tested and way cheaper than some.
Cons
Rules management (sorting, editing, consolidation) is very cumbersome. <p> <p>Also, didn't trust the "fingerprint mode" which seems to allow carte blanche while Antihook decides what's normal. <p> <p>Minor annoyance: Requires dot-net 2 (which increases system overhead and vulnerabilities).
