Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) Microsoft is a program that aims to exclude exploits before they complete their purpose.
Without EMET, these attacks will be able to accomplish their purpose and thus will be considered successful, while with EMET you will have one last chance to block them.
Although it is EMET δεν είναι μία λύση που θα σας προστατεύσει από κάθε είδος κακόβουλου κώδικα που κυκλοφορεί στο διαδίκτυο, δεν χρησιμοποιεί πολλούς πόρους στο σύστημά σας και ταυτόχρονα προσθέτει άλλο ένα επίπεδο προστασίας σε υπολογιστές με Windows.
Microsoft has just released EMET 5.2, a new version of the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit that updates the previous version of 5.1.
Note that the company now offers two different versions of EMET. First, the 5.2 version, which is the latest, and then the 4.1 Update 1 version, which it will support until 9 June, 2015.
The Microsoft EMET 5.2 comes with three new features two of which are intended to enhance protection in all supported operating systems and the third only for operating systems running Windows 8 and above.
All EMET installations benefit from Control Flow Guard, a new feature of Visual Studio 2015, που “βοηθά στον εντοπισμό και σταματάει τις προσπάθειες του πειρατικού κώδικα”. To Control Flow Guard (φρουρός control streaming) is only supported by Windows 8.1 and above, including Windows 10, which means it only benefits systems running those two operating systems.
Η δεύτερη αλλαγή βελτιώνει την μείωση του Attack Surface Reduction, “σταματώντας τις προσπάθειες εκτέλεσης του VBScript extension” όταν αυτό φορτώνεται στο Internet Zone του Internet Explorer. Σύμφωνα με τη Microsoft, αυτό προστατεύει από μία τεχνική εκμετάλλευσης γνωστή ως VBScript God Mode (VBScript Λειτουργία του Θεού).
The third and last change affects Internet Explorer. EMET supports reports and notifications that have Enhanced Protected Mode enabled from the Internet Explorer desktop.
The program will automatically upgrade to the existing version of EMET if you have it, or install the software again if you have not preinstalled it.
