Eugene Kaspersky: "Our Business Is Saving the World From Computer Villains"
blottsie writes: While the nature of Kaspersky's relationship with the Kremlin remains, at the very least, a matter of contention, his company's influence is anything but hazy. On top of their successful antivirus business, Kaspersky Lab researchers have discovered key details about the now-infamous Stuxnet virus, which was deployed by the U.S. and Israel against Iran's nuclear facilities. Kaspersky analysts later uncovered Flame, which the Washington Post found was another American-Israeli cyberweapon against Iran. All of this is on top of building a highly successful antivirus business. In a new interview with the Daily Dot, Kaspersky elaborates on thoughts about his company, his wealth, and the state of modern cybersecurity.
If it was not posted from a machine running bloody Kaspersky security tools!
...we'll have Kaspersky bloatware slowing down new computers belonging to average people, much like how we have Norton bloatware doing that?
Do not look into laser with remaining eye.
In Russia, there is no such thing as independent large corporation, there are only nominally privately owned, and formally state owned corporations. While Kaspersky does some good work, they should be treated the same way as NIST is in USA, with a primary mission to protect and advance state interest.
And do they have a a successful antivirus business?

Anyone who thinks that Kaspersky isn't in bed (voluntarily or not) with the Kermlin is delusional.

Their program will slow down your computer with all kinds of security theater "features", but like any other antivirus, it will fail to root out most viruses written in the past 8 years once they've been executed and implanted themselves as a rootkit.

Anons need not reply. Questions end with a question mark.
Just wondering if I'm the only one around here not using any AV for a long time. AFAIK, you can only get your virus on the internet (unless I'm underestimating USB's key viruses). And with gmail (and other huge mail provider) boosted with virus check procedure, Secured browser like Chrome pimped with Adblock and keeping myself far from the "dark side" of the web, I've never had any problem. Add to this the new lite Microsoft Security Essential (intagrated in Win8) to the lot and I'm surprised those company are still in business.
Or am I naive?

The problem with security is not that security companies are doing worse at making their products. Its that when they did make bad bloated and slow products the end user lost interest. Not to mention we do not have the rampant wide spread out breaks that we used to. Some of this is due to better OS and browser security, also users are finally becoming smarter and the fact the bad guys see more gain in hacking companies the messing with individual PC users. I just finished uninstalling McAfee Live Safe, not because its a lousy product. But because I bought a HP Stream with 2GB RAM and running any kind of security suite will most likely affect performance and use up some RAM. If you look at how these security businesses have basically shrank in consumer markets and along with that so have their profits. Its no wonder they keep saying the sky is falling, the sky is falling. Because they must keep some people paranoid enough to keep buying into their products. The stuff that really affects you, none of these suites ever seem to detect it anyway.
The days where Eugene was leading a technical company are far gone.
Now they are just the self-absorbed marketing-driven company that puts the Ferrari sponsorship above all their priority....
Can "Almost ALL Ads Blocked" do 16 things hosts do for speed, security, & reliability:
1.) Protect vs. malicious sites/servers (beyond malicious ads)
2.) Protect vs. fastflux botnets + stop communique to C&C servers
3.) Protect vs. dynamic dns botnets + stop communique to C&C servers
4.) Protect vs. DGA botnets + stop communique to C&C servers
5.) Protect vs. downed DNS (adds reliability)
6.) Protect vs. DNS redirect poisoned dns
7.) Protect vs. trackers
8.) Protect vs. spam
9.) Protect vs. phish
10.) Protect vs. bandwidth caps
11.) Get you past a dnsbl
12.) Keep you off dns request logs
13.) Speed up websurfing by adblocks & hardcoded fav. sites
14.) Work on ANY webbound app (like stand-alone email programs) multiplatform.
15.) Give you easily texteditor controlled data for the above
16.) Do all that & block ads (better than addons) more efficiently in cpu cycles + memory usage
* ANSWER ="NO" to each above on AdBlock or its forked variants doing it as well or at all!
APK
P.S.=> AdBlock &/or it's forked variants do FAR less than hosts do & FAR less efficiently - hosts by way of comparison do MORE w/ less + Hosts start w/ the IP stack before REDUNDANT inefficient addons BEGIN to operate (as 1st resolver queried):
AdBlock's 4++gb & 100% CPU usage flooring inefficiency -> https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth... + ClarityRay defeats it + it 'souled-out' & is crippled by default paid off to not do its job http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/... & ABP too http://finance.yahoo.com/news/...
AdBlock & its variants add complexity/room for breakdown/exploit + from a slower mode of operations (usermode = more messagepassing overheads vs. hosts in kernelmode).

It's hilarious when American news sources would accuse Kaspersky of spying for Russian government. Where where they when virtually all major US tech companies were spying on the entire planet on behalf of the NSA? It only took them Snowden handing them indisputable proof for these unprincipled "reporters" to notice.
Of course the lesson here isn't that America is all bad and Russia is all good. It's that lots of people that preach about ethics to others.... don't actually follow the very principles they claim to stand for.
I grew up in the US in the 80s, and I was basically taught to believe that all Russians are completely untrustworthy.
(See any "Russian" character played by a Hollywood actor in any US movie or TV show from the 80s and early 90s, with one single exception: Sean Connery in The Hunt for Red October.)
As a result, I'm far more worried about Kapersky personally trying to steal from me than I am about his ties to KGB/whatever. I know it was 99% propaganda, but I still don't trust anyone with a Russian name or accent.
Kaspersky products leave malware no chance - they eat computer resources themselves.
Sad but true.
Then why don't they target the NSA and other US gpvernment agencies?
When I have a domain name in hosts blocked, it works to stop DGA botnets. Same with subdomains also.
* Question #1: See subject - Are you saying that's NOT true?
APK
P.S.=> You're also assuming they "go dead" everytime... Question #2: Is that what YOU DO WITH YOUR DGA BOTNET, Mr. Expert (who speaks for all botnet masters like himself)? apk
See subject: Hosts = referenced 1st by default. Same w/ other programs like email that's a non-HTML browser based type. Browsers certainly DO NOT DO THAT either.
APK
P.S.=> Can you show me a SPECIFIC example of what you speak of? If you can provide it & I don't THINK YOU CAN, I would Application Firewall block it then (Zone Alarm & even Windows native firewall can do that easily)... apk
See subject: Especially if that's the "best you got" vs. this http://it.slashdot.org/comment...
* :)
APK
P.S.=> Apparently what I said & the program I designed along with the file you already have in hosts does SUCH A GOOD JOB that it reduces these "trolls" (who are probably malware maker or botnet makers if not advertisers & inferior competitors) to profanity + "FoAmiNg-@-TeH-MoUtH" replies, lol... apk
It's nice to see positive news like this coming out of Russia.
Really nice.
- Zav - Imagine a Beowulf cluster of insensitive clods...
See subject: It blocked itself. They resurrect 'em (fastflux) too so they CAN "live again" & if they use the same name, hosts block those. Per my subject, the DGA killed off that domain already (if it's NOT also 'fastfluxed' that is, some are).
Hosts files via my program get you the MOST current blocking information vs. those threats AND many others, as soon as they are discovered, but if they're dead, they're dead anyhow so no threat UNLESS "fastflux" tech is used in them in combination with DGA methods also... yes, it happens.
Doesn't matter though - hosts CAN block ANY domain or subdomain name, & since that is true? Hosts can stop ANY domain/subdomain name based threat... or is that not true??
E.G.-> Once I set a domain/subdomain as blocked in hosts via 0.0.0.0 baddomainnametoblock.com, is it not forever blocked that way???
(Periodically, but sparingly due to fastflux usage in botnets, I 'ping' my hosts list via my program to prune off/purge dead entries... ONLY PROBLEM IS, botnet masters CAN SET THEIR HOSTING MACHINE OS TO DENY ECHO REPLIES, so I have to be careful with doing it, due to being able to set an OS' IP stack to NOT reply to pings...)
APK
P.S.=> The question is explicit - answer it (as I asked it of bouldin also)... apk
I preempt their protection (& supplement it) http://it.slashdot.org/comment... since I STOP YOU FROM BEING INFECTED IN THE FIRST PLACE by blocking the source of online threats (the most prevalent type now in botnets, maliciously coded sites, & even via email phish) BEFORE YOU CAN GET "SICK" FROM THEM.
* Not only do hosts do that via my program that gets you the MOST current blocking information from 10 reputable & reliable sites in the security community BUT unlike other security solutions, yes, like antivirus/antispyware, I SPEED YOU UP ONLINE ALSO in 2 ways (saving bandwidth vs. capping too):
1.) Blocking ads, a major source of malware infestation themselves
AND
2.) Hardcoded favorite sites @ the TOP of your custom hosts file (for best speed) where you spend MOST of your time online
(For me it's LITERALLY 95%++ of my time online per analyzing my browser histories & router logs)
I.E./E.G.-> Placing them at the TOP of a custom hosts file, which by FAR exceeds remote DNS lookup & return turn-around time by many orders of magnitude, AND, it makes your connections MORE RELIABLE vs. redirect poisoned DNS (big problem since 99.999% of ISP DNS' still aren't patched vs. it) or "downed" DNS (happens a LOT).
APK
P.S.=> Hosts just work & I make them work as EFFICIENTLY as possible (sorting & deduplicating them, removing comment bloat AND making their blocking address as EFFICIENT AS POSSIBLE via 0.0.0.0 vs. the larger slower to load a larger file & parse it for load internally during a File Open/Read/Close I-O cycle which even an MS VP of their "Windows Client Performance Division" CONCEDED TO ME -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p... there on that note) & by using what you have ALREADY natively, vs. bolting on yet MORE OVERHEADS in other security solutions... apk
What software is that? You're avoiding a SIMPLE question! If I block a domain name in hosts IS IT BLOCKED (DGA generated or not)??
Plus, I protect hosts SO WELL (above & beyond WFP + UAC that Windows provides mind you as well) that they cannot be bushwhacked by malware... how? By creating the hosts from a pristine backup of the original hosts (in case of something SOMEHOW getting past this) AND, by additionally applying read-only attributes to hosts (every 1/2 second on a hi-res timer when my program's resident & when it shuts down also) effectively locking it vs. corruption by malware or otherwise (vs. outright LOCKING the file exclusively which COULD effectively lock out browsers or the IP stack (less chance here) too).
APK
P.S.=> It's a simple 2 questions above, YES or NO will do as your answers (don't even *TRY* to "b.s." your way around them with 'hypotheticals' you don't even PROVIDE EXAMPLES OF, ones I can actually see, not mere 'theory')... apk
I could write my own code too - mainstream widely used wares... what ones do that?
* Unbelievable - what a little SNEAK you are!
(Answer that question... & again - this question too: IF/WHEN I block a domain OR subdomain in hosts, IS IT BLOCKED?)
APK
P.S.=> You're a weasel, above ALL else, & one that refuses to answer a SIMPLE question above (& the other one on blocking too)... apk
What widely used software does its own DNS queries? Answer it... you fail, you obviously, can't... lol!
* Other than DNS servers, I'd like to see that... show me what malware does it, & I'll block it @ the firewall, application type preferable as Windows or Zone Alarm provides, (or hosts) easy as apple pie... & you KNOW it.
You lose/fail: Why? You can't produce a widely used ware that does that...
I don't know about computer security??
LMAO - I was doing security in computing before you were BORN I'd wager & certainly professionally as well I'd also strongly wager...
APK
P.S.=> It seems also that you're vainly & effetely attempting to say "every computer under the sun has a virus/malware that does DNS queries itself" & new NEWS/Clue/NewsFlash - they do NOT... apk
What malware evades hosts since you don't know? IP address using kinds... & you say "I don't know about security?" directed MY way?? WRONG.
I beat them (as I said last reply) using firewall rules tables, it works @ app level OR IP address level.
THERE - now YOU LEARNED SOMETHING from "the guy that knows nothing about security" or so YOU said & are wrong on, which that evidences for me.
APK
P.S.=> "Here endeth the lesson" AND YOU HAVE BEEN MASSIVELY "SCHOOLED", by a 16 to NOTHING score against your effete & easily disproven B.S. vs. facts I put out in a list YOU CAN'T TOUCH (heck - nobody here a ages has & I am way, Way, WAY ahead on that note per that list of facts in favor of hosts over browser addons & even locally setup DNS)... apk
"So, you're asking what malware in the wild evades hosts files? None that I know of" by bouldin (828821) on Thursday May 21, 2015 @02:07PM (#49745175)
It's YOU quoted saying you don't know what malware evades hosts - I directly told you last reply, stupid... AND how to stop it (via hosts OR if its served by IP address, via firewalls @ IP addy level OR app level - which Windows native firewall even does).
APK
P.S.=> Of course, as per your usual? I just "drop my usual bomb" all OVER your wannabe ass (saying I don't know computer security? Dearest DOUCHE wannabe - I write wares for it & guides for it BEFORE YOU WERE BORN + I strongly wager that's right & professionally as well):
Lastly: Since you can't prove my points wrong @ all, even this single one you cling to, refusing to answer IF I block a domain/subdomain in hosts, am I proof to attacks from it?
You're MORE THAN WELCOME to *try* to point-by-point disprove my points in favor of hosts here validly (which you can't do & we all KNOW it by now) -> http://it.slashdot.org/comment...
You lose/fail, vs. "yours truly", as always & it's certain YOU can't code anything I've ever seen (let alone for security which I have in this very app for hosts) so, go away, "wannabe flea", or I will stomp on you even MORE... apk

You're nothing but a wannabe MENIAL 'network admin/techie' effetely *trying* to "play coder" w/ your OPEN SORES snipped code above you didn't even write, lol, which is TYPICAL of "your kind"... why don't we see apps written for security out of your kind, bigshot? YOU CAN'T MANAGE IT IS WHY...)
Ah, yes - trying your "moving the goalposts" logical fallacy w/ your Open SORES copied code again eh? Ok, again:
* Again, show us a mainstream malware OR WARE that does its own DNS queries... you can't & have ADMITTED IT... you're all "hypothetical bullshit", nothing more.

APK
P.S.=> You can SAY "I don't know security" about ME, but I can PROVE with your own words you don't & your lack of accomplishment in the art & science of computing (let alone that in coding which I can readily prove BOTH on my part vs. your crap) does the rest... apk
You can't, & had to "eat your erroneous words" here http://it.slashdot.org/comment... so "Rinse, Lather, & Repeat" & QUIT WASTING MY TIME...
See, unlike YOU, menial?
I DO write code that DOES work for security!
(+ added speed, unlike other 'security solutions' actually SLOWING YOU DOWN, & even added reliability via hosts hardcodes which also aid anonymity to a degree vs. dns request logs & doing so with WHAT YOU ALREADY NATIVELY HAVE in more efficient kernelmode, not "bolting on more" that actually slows you down (& doesn't work that well anymore vs. threats out there today too)).
* Show us, above ALL else, you have done better, YOURSELF... again, you can't... lol!
APK
P.S.=> Go away already - lol, I've had ENOUGH of dusting your wannabe ass menial - why? Heck, you're MAKING me SAY IT as usual again:

Hello, .... I think blocking via hosts file (or similar blocking at the perimeter) is a good defensive measure, and it is something I do recommend doing as an additional layer of security. Like anything else, it has to be managed, but thatâ(TM)s part of being in IT security.

and here http://it.slashdot.org/comment...
AND HERE TOO http://it.slashdot.org/comment...

P.S.=> That malware, that YOU didn't design (see subject) since you are too unskilled to code even malware (easy to do, anyone can be bogus vs. creating wares for security as I do)?
Clue: Firewalls again (blocks any OUTBOUNDS - even tunneled should work, it's ALL IP, & blocking those DNS there should cut them off too - surprised the security pros don't KNOW that)
&
I never SAID (not even once anywhere) hosts "cure all ills"... however, I DID SEE YOU FUCKUP in multiple FAILS on your end fool above, & repeatedly... apkD uses hosts files for security too!)
See subject: Application based firewalls stop it (stop the malware itself) - you fail again.
Even Windows native firewall can do that... so does ZoneAlarm!
* I never ONCE said hosts "cure it all" but they do more than a lying little scumbag like you (that spent HOURS scouring websites for an obscure passage I can easily overcome as shown above) will ever do.

Go for it: BarbaraHudson made that mistake & couldn't do it! You can't either... & I just shut down your stupidity with application based firewalls (Windows one CHECKS APPS, anything, as they *try* to run, asking you IF you allow it when it's not familiar with them... so does ZoneAlarm).

You're making ME LAUGH: regarding Russinovich, a former "co-worker" of mine @ SUNBELT in the 90's?
See "The MEMORY OPTIMIZATION HOAX" where I used an MS tool he apparently wasn't aware of in ClearMem.exe (a memory optimizer) UNHALTING FROZEN or SLOWED EXCHANGE SERVERS, stupid...
Made them FASTER when lagging, & that tool does EXACTLY what GUI memory optimizers do (by unfreezing them when halted completely due to memory fragmentation)...
Ask him yourself, I will FLOOR HIM RIGHT HERE AGAIN if need be. Lord knows I've done it to YOU enough here already, lol!
MS own documentation did it too, lol, oddly & ironically (he works for them now too)
MS VP of the Windows Client Performance Division, A masters in CS too? He conceded another point to me here on /. no less on HOSTS -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p...
Show me where I said hosts cure all? You keep avoiding that too (gosh, small wonder WHY as I never said it).
Application based firewalls would QUERY YOU, stupid, & ask you if you want to let *ANY* app thru via IP (TCP or UDP) dumbass... they would stop it by letting YOU stop it (when you don't know what an app is, any idiot should know that - apparently, you're dumber than that even... lol!).
This all started with me confronting *ANYONE* to prove my points here validly wrong -> http://it.slashdot.org/comment...

1.) Microsoft shows memory fragmentation causes Exchange Server 2003 (& prior versions) problems a lot (which memory optimizers stop, & even Dr Russinovich + Arstechnica even admit they can stop memory fragmentation)!
*******
Mark Russinovich - "Having contiguous available memory can improve performance in one case: when the Memory Manager, to maximize the behavior of the CPU memory caches, uses a mechanism called page coloring to decide which page from the free or zeroed page list to assign to a process."
Mark Russinovich - "Developers of RAM optimizers also claim that their products defragment memory. The act of allocating, then freeing a large amount of virtual memory might, as a conceivable side effect, lead to blocks of contiguous available memory"
*******
XADM: The Extensible Storage Engine Database Engine Contributes to Virtual Memory Fragmentation Exchange 2000 Server, like many large scale programs, may experience virtual memory (VM) fragmentation. Over time, the server may not perform well, & you may not be able to mount storage groups because of VM fragmentation. http://support.microsoft.com/d...
XADM: You Experience Excessive Virtual Memory Fragmentation on a Heavily Loaded Exchange Server Your Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server computer may experience virtual memory fragmentation at a much greater frequency than you expect. As a result, you may have to restart the Exchange 2000 computer more frequently than you expect.
http://support.microsoft.com/d...
(& 10 more I can supply on request. Earlier, I cite more in the way of examples here showing in how much VM fragmentation (which memory optimizers stop) negatively affects Exchange Server 2003 & previous models of it. I can provide those again upon request should they be required. I have earlier in this thread.)
----
2.) Microsoft producing clearmem.exe (which its description IS "Clear Memory" even in Windows Server 2003 reskits) & is in its default commandline, just another memory optimizer (as this article's author calls them)! DESCRIPTION (verbatim, from Microsoft's resource kit website) = Clearmem.exe: Clear Memory Not a "testing tool":
*******
Mike Rowe-Sarft - "Clearmem is *not* a fixing system, it is a tool for developers & testers." - Anonymous User - April 04, 2005
*******
(Point #3 right after this one shows otherwise as well as Microsoft's OWN DESCRIPTION of said program above.)
----
3.) Also how memory optimizer apps can unfreeze lagged/frozen memory starved apps, such as how Microsoft's own Clearmem.exe unfroze apps & was cited from MS as being useful here:
http://support.microsoft.com/d...
"WORKAROUND You can run Clearmem.exe to recover from this problem. The Clearmem utility flushes the section used as file cache, thus the file object in question is dereferenced by running Clearmem."
Above all - If these tools of this nature are "useless" as Dr. Mark Russinovich claims? Why then does Microsoft, the inventor of this OS family, include clearmem.exe (a memory optimizer, albeit a bit crude in console/DOS commandline/character mode design & not nearly as feature-laden & automated) in their current resource kits for said OS' & since the NT 3.5x days no less? (&, before anyone tries the "they are unsupported by Microsoft", newsflash - it does not mean they don't work, they do. It's that Microsoft's technical support reps are not required to know them in detail or how to use them etc.)
* That's ONLY the start of how I schooled him... Ask him about how I said "Hector..." AFTER all that & he RAN (vs. Achilles).
From http://windowsitpro.com/system...

P.S.=> Perhaps ABOVE ALL ELSE? I never *once* have said "hosts do it all" (nothing does by itself, hence why I wrote the security guides for Windows I was PAID for & I've worked in the field as a pro @ that level for decades ontop of coding as well professionally).
So - care to show me where I have said "hosts cure everything"??
You can't - I've asked you to do THAT here, many times, & you can't produce it... you are SO full of shit and such a SELF-DEFEATING loser, it's unbelievable, lol... apk

So "trying to put words in my mouth" I never said is piss-poor tactics, MENIAL... you don't create anything of worth in security, even in guides, let alone software as I have.
As far as HOSTS are concerned though?

I never said hosts stop EVERYTHING though - you have said I have said that pretty much - where did I say it? Show me... I never have.

Bouldin never has (or will I suspect) done anything of any of that, & says he is a "security engineer"? No, don't think so.
He doesn't even have softwares for security he's built like I have http://start64.com/index.php?o...
A ware that uses hosts to give you more security (& unlike other security tools it even gives you more SPEED vs. slowing you down like others do in say, antivirus, which isn't that effective anymore sadly) + speed, reliability, & even added anonymity from 1 simple file that does TONS for you of good benefit.
Bouldin says "nobody uses hosts for security"

Bouldin *tried* to DENY Spybot uses it, saying it's not their forums (bullshit) here in his posts' termination http://it.slashdot.org/comment... and it IS their forums... & nevertheless proves my point (anyone can try that program, many use it, and see anyhow).
Even NOD32/ESET's lead coder (whom I overturned on a false positive on my program no less) said this that hosts are a valuable layer of security -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p...

It shows how to cut off the sources of infestation & firewalls + hosts (which security pros GALORE backed me on vs. your bs, fool) do the rest even stopping infected systems from "talking back" to their C&C controllers (think Iron Man in Avengers 1 killing the central command in the black hole).

Sunbelt didn't "fire" me. I left them after I found they had ripped off a fellow programmer in fact. IIRC, so did Mr. Russinovich whom we discussed above (& I smoked HIM too, you never could, lol).
I then left Atlanta in 2000 after working with Sunbelt for 4-5 yrs. iirc, where network solutions iirc (their retailers of my wares outlets of theirs) are located.
I made my monies, doing well enough to NOT have to work anymore in fact (it's great, early retirement)

I later even had EEC Systems/SuperSpeed.com, a certified MS partner, BUY up my code and PAY ME FOR IT (winning a finalist position @ MS TechEd 2000-2002 in its HARDEST CATEGORY, SQL Server Performance Enhancement... have YOU DONE THE SAME? No... lol!)

E.G. - 1st you secure the DB engine rights & app level security in it, then in code using stored procs + bound variables (avoids SQLInjections) in CODE LEVEL as SOME examples thereof, & since websites are DB driven, IIS too (or OTHER webservers) + the OS itself etc. (I've done it 100's of times buddy, for corporations to do their JOBS safely over decades...

PERTINENT QUOTE/EXCERPT:
"The image this title brings to mind is of a mighty military commander, one who can at a mere word summon rank upon rank of protective power" via hosts/custom hosts files + layered security guides use...
For the BEST hosts file?

MalwareBytes' hpHosts Admin (MalwareBytes employee) hosts & recommends it -> http://hosts-file.net/?s=Downl... & MalwareBytes = BEST antivirus http://www.av-test.org/en/news...
Yet ANOTHER respected SECURITY SOURCE backing me right there, hosting my code (vetted it too) on the efficacy of custom hosts files for security & unlike OTHER security tools? It also adds speed @ multiple levels vs. taking it away... apk
Avoiding my questions too loser? Yes (see ps here) -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p...
That says it ALL about you, full of hot air (nothing contributed to in security YOURSELF, not a DAMN thing, lol, whereas I have an application that security pros even back me on from Symantec/Norton, ESET/NOD32, SpyBot S&D -> http://it.slashdot.org/comment... & even MalwareBytes -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p... )

However - If I want, I can be RIGHT back in, but facts I use speak for me so I don't bother (just like they have vs. your weak ass every single turn here, lol).
It's obvious you're DESPERATE now, trying to "character assasinate me" but you can't BEAT MY FACTS I use, can you? Nope!

Yea? Show us a program you've written TONS of people use... what can you show us that proves you even code?? Nothing.
I can do that easily thru my Hosts Engine ALONE, right off the bat (& many other wares over time commercially sold in other languages by MS partners stupid which I've already noted & you RAN from before this even).
I know 12++ computer languages fluently in fact.
For my Hosts Engine, I chose Object Pascal since it's beaten even MSVC++ in strings work which my app does HEAVILY - dumb thing for you to say:
Check Borland/Embarcadero Delphi XE8 & say that again, you limited worm... lol!
What 'filemanager' is this?

90/120 cr into BS CS (AAS done) & MIS BS. Not fired from Sunbelt. Russinovich & I used 'em as outlets. Both of us found they ripped off a gent who made a defragger for NT-based OS (all of us sold thru ServerExtras on Powers Ferry rd. Atlanta via Sunbelt). We made money for years. Enough to buy a house from Dad (not ma) which I did work on years before + SOLID house & live comfortably not having to work running my business. I escaped IT hole but worked it + doing side programs I received monies for (e.g. EEC Systems/SuperSpeed.com buying out my code & ideas for ramdisk use only NOW taking hold in big enterprise in fact that was a finalist @ MS TechEd 2000-2002 2 yrs in a row). I worked as a programmer-analyst/software engineer professionally ontop of that 1994-2008 in fact (& before it as a network admin/techie yes in security related role). I worked in Atlanta during 1996 Olympics for BellSouth (now CINGULAR iirc) cellular for a SECURE 'impossible task' on NT-3.52 laptops via ASCEND gateways via dialin modems so they could avoid the BIG traffic of the Olympics. Banned from ars? That's best they had vs.-> http://it.slashdot.org/comment... easily. Resorted to posting edited photos of me (Reimer) like you here http://slashdot.org/comments.p... like a frustrated child's illogical off topic ad hominem effete vain useless tantrum style that's not valid. My layered security guides burnt you here on "edge cases" & you have nothing. UNIX & VMS here. Was paid for my security guide + for decades as a software-engineer/network admin securing DB engines, apps on them, OS + network periphery etc. It's part of the job you've never done! Barb Hudson *tried* same as you saying "hosts are not a cure all as apk says" & like to you I asked "Where've I ever said that once?" Never have. Prove otherwise. Wikipedia doesn't post detail is all. Zontar's loonily sent me a postcard & recently threatened me here in fact (he'd come to my house w/ a bat).

Illogical? Only if you don't understand logic. Since you never took logic classes, you probably don't.
Here, I updated your timeline:
Alex Kowalrus In a Nutshell (A Life of Failure)
0. Birthday was January 31st (see below).
1. 198x - Got a mediocre degree in IT from LeMoyne University. No computer science degree. LeMoyne actually disbanded their CS department from 1994 - 2008.
2. Fired from Sunbelt in 2000. Never found full-time employment again, much less as a software engineer. Moved back in with mom in Syracuse.
3. 2000 - Banned from Arstechnica. Rejoined under another name (lied) to argue for himself.
4. 2003 - Tried to argue with Dr. Russinovich (of sysinternals.com) in comments below Russinovich's blog. Other forum posters schooled him. Nevertheless, he still claims he beat Russinovich in an argument that Russinovich did not realized happened.
5. 2006 - Someone opened petition on petitiononline.com to have APK put to death. It got (at least) 29 signatures.
6. 2007 - Banned from Antionline.com. Everyone there hated him. Copy/pasted his "security guide," which everyone agreed was not good.
7. 2008 - Actually got paid $100 for his security guide as a newsletter prize, and thus claims, to this day, that he's a "security professional."
8. 2008 - Admitted he doesn't understand UNIX: "I am more of a Win32 guy the past few years though, so I must ask [what iptables is]."
9. 2008 - Made legal threats against Thor Schrock, but turned out to be bluffing. Embarrassed publicly by Schrock.
10. 2010 - Mom gave him the house (worth $100,000, counting land). He currently lies about that, claiming to be independently wealthy.
11. 2010 - Wrote a crappy file manager in Pascal that performs terribly. Nobody would pay for it.
12. Managed to get malwarebytes to host his file manager because it's free. Lied and denied it's just a file manager, but Malwarebytes calls it what it is: a "Small program for managing the hosts file"
13. 2011 - BarbaraHudson caught him in a lie - that he had plenty of +5 modded posts on slashdot. They were all at -1.
14. 2011 - Attempted to re-add garbage to Wikipedia 20 times on the Windows hosts file. Had it removed each time. Complained in the editorial pages, but was shot down.
15. 2012 - Embarrassed on slashdot for his text file manager's extremely poor performance (11 minutes to sort 1.8 million strings). Currently claims he "chose" Python because C++ does not perform as well. Pasted Python but failed to indent lines, showing he did not understand the basics of Python.
16. 2014 - Zontar schooled him, doxed him, caught him in several other lies.
17. 2014-2015 - Bouldin repeatedly explained why OS hosts files are not suitable security against botnets, but Kowalrus didn't understand the technical aspects. Currently seems very confused about basic networking and how malware works. Doesn't understand basic Python, and believes the hosts file cannot be bypassed even after seeing Python code that does the bypassing. When provided proof that malware with millions of infections (Ramnit, Gameover Zeus) can bypass the hosts file (and other OS protection mechanisms), he called the malware "edge cases."
18. Still has not done anything since his long-since-deleted security guide from 2007 or his text file manager from 2010. Declares victory over everyone on every forum he has ever visited. Currently has no friends.
Other events on Jan 31st:
* Guy Fawkes was executed.
* Germany used poison gas at a large scale for the first time in history of warfare.
* The Soviet Union exiled Leon Trotsky.
* Harry Truman announced a program to develop the hydrogen bomb.
* Viet Cong launched the Tet Offensive.

APK
P.S.=> You asked for all of that above, & Score APK 16, Bouldin 0 vs. http://slashdot.org/comments.p...... apk
1. WRONG - BS MIS & AS CS (past its 60cr hr & into 90/120 BS CS)
2. WRONG - JUST USED THE PLACE AS AN OUTLET, like Russinovich, but we BOTH LEFT after making money there for years, after hearing from a fellow dev who created an NT defragger he was being ripped off
3. WRONG - BEAT THE HELL OUT OF THEM (Russinovich too), details here -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p... + JEREMY REIMER WAS SO CRUSHED HE REACTED LIKE A CHILD POSTING EDITED PHOTOS OF ME (just like you here after I tore you apart using hosts files + my layered security guide http://slashdot.org/comments.p... )
4. WRONG - BEAT THE HELL OUT OF HIM @ WINDOWS IT PRO WITH DOCUMENTED FACTS FROM OF ALL PLACES MICROSOFT, REPEATEDLY EMAILED HIM & NO ANSWER. TECHNICAL DETAILS HERE-> http://slashdot.org/comments.p...
5. WRONG - THAT WAS JAY LITTLE (arstechnica fool in #3 I dusted above) & I HAD THAT REMOVED DUE TO DEATH THREATS
6. WRONG - MY GUIDE'S GREAT & GOT ME PAID FOR IT NO LESS, DETAILS HERE FROM YOU NEXT
7. 2008 - Actually got paid $100 for his security guide
CORRECT - BUT, I worked for years as a programmer-analyst, software-engineer, & network admin securing networks, OS, & DB engines + programs written to run on them all of 'enterprise-class'
8. WRONG - I used UNIX & VMS + IBM OS like OS-400 before MOST here were born both academically & professionally (often programming cross-platform to them during my professional coding career)
9. WRONG - I embarassed Thor SCHMUCK easily by pointing out a false positive he did on an old ware of mine (I recently did the same regarding my APK Hosts File Engine 9.0++ SR-2 32/64-bit vs. ArcaVir, EmSiSoft, NOD32/ESET, Comodo, McAfee, Qihoo360, & Sophos getting them to rescind it (or is in process thereof currently)
APK
P.S.=> You fail as usual Bouldin - part # 2 next post... apk
11. WRONG - I WROTE APK Hosts File Engine 9.0++ SR-2 32/64-bit ( Score APK=16, Bouldin =0 via points listed you can't validly technically disprove here http://slashdot.org/comments.p... )
12. WRONG - MalwareBytes' TOP employee hosts + HIGHLY RECOMMENDS IT @ MalwareBytes' hpHosts over all others like it here http://hosts-file.net/?s=Downl...
13. WRONG - Bouldin + Barb/Tom erroneously said "hosts are not a cure all like apk says" & I asked both to show WHERE I SAID THAT EVEN ONCE - they both could not, as I never have.
15. WRONG - I can sort, deduplicate, & normalize 4++ million record entries in it, via a GUI program (with its associated overheads vs. character mode scripts the script kiddies here use & I had to correct their massive mistakes on here no less http://yro.slashdot.org/commen... , a few times now) another something Bouldin can NEVER ever manage as well!
16. WRONG - Zontar got his ass handed to him on hosts here http://slashdot.org/comments.p... & Zontar's been mentally affected ever since creating TrollingForHosts Files sockpuppet accounts to *try* to harass me w/ proven here -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p... like the loony loser he is -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p... from his own words (depression victim)
17. WRONG - Bouldin (forgot to post AC there to harass me as usual as you all can see) was destroyed Score APK = 16, Bouldin = 0 (lol) vs. my technical points on hosts files he cannot validly disprove by using BOTH my guides on layered security's principles vs. 'edge cases' hosts might have trouble stopping (I never said they cure all as I showed above but that they do more than ANY single browser add on solution by far with less) + custom hosts files points I made he can't disprove here -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p...
18. WRONG - Bouldin has never achieved *anything* of note in the art & science of computing & can't produce proof of his alleged college degree nor as an alleged 'security engineer'

10. WRONG - I bought the place from my Dad (solid house, I know - I did the work on it for years)
APK
P.S.=> You fail as usual Bouldin... apk
(Con't. from part #1 of 2)
11. WRONG - I WROTE APK Hosts File Engine 9.0++ SR-2 32/64-bit ( Score APK=16, Bouldin =0 via points listed you can't validly technically disprove here http://slashdot.org/comments.p... )
12. WRONG - MalwareBytes' TOP employee hosts + HIGHLY RECOMMENDS IT @ MalwareBytes' hpHosts over all others like it here http://hosts-file.net/?s=Downl...
13. WRONG - Bouldin + Barb/Tom erroneously said "hosts are not a cure all like apk says" & I asked both to show WHERE I SAID THAT EVEN ONCE - they both could not, as I never have.
15. WRONG - I can sort/dedup/normalize 4++ million record entries in it in 30 minutes via a GUI program (with its associated overheads vs. character mode scripts the script kiddies here use & I had to correct their massive mistakes on here no less http://yro.slashdot.org/commen... a few times now) another something Bouldin can NEVER ever manage as well!
16. WRONG - Zontar got his ass handed to him on hosts here http://slashdot.org/comments.p... & Zontar's been mentally affected ever since creating TrollingForHosts Files sockpuppets to harass me w/ proven here -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p... like the loon he is -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p... from his own words!
17. WRONG - Bouldin (forgot to post AC there to harass me as usual as you all can see) was destroyed Score APK = 16, Bouldin = 0 (lol) vs. my technical points on hosts files he cannot validly disprove by using BOTH my guides on layered security's principles vs. 'edge cases' hosts might have trouble stopping (I never said they cure all as I showed above but that they do more than ANY single browser add on solution by far with less) + custom hosts files points I made he can't disprove here -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p...
18. WRONG - Bouldin has never achieved *anything* of note in the art & science of computing & can't produce proof of his alleged college degree nor as an alleged 'security engineer'
APK
0x0F. 2012 - Called out on slashdot for his text file manager's extremely poor performance (11 minutes to sort 1.8 million strings). Ironically claims he "chose" Pascal because it performs better than C++. Pasted Python but failed to indent lines, indicating he did not understand even the basics of Python. 0x10. 2014 - Zontar schooled him, doxed him, caught him in several other lies. People chimed in on Slashdot to say they hated him. 0x11. 2014-2015 - Bouldin repeatedly explained why OS hosts files are not suitable security against botnets, but Kowalrus didn't understand the technical aspects. Currently seems very confused about basic networking and how malware works. Doesn't understand basic Python, and believes the hosts file cannot be bypassed even after seeing Python code that does the bypassing. When provided proof that malware with millions of infections (Ramnit, Gameover Zeus) can bypass the hosts file (and other OS protection mechanisms), he called the malware "edge cases." 0x12. Still has not accomplished anything since his long-since-deleted "security guide" from 2007 or his text file manager from 2010. Nevertheless, he declares victory over everyone, on every forum he has ever visited. Has no friends. Other events on Jan 31st: * Guy Fawkes was hanged, drawn, and quartered. * Germany used poison gas at a large scale for the first time in history of warfare. * The Soviet Union exiled Leon Trotsky. * Harry Truman announced a program to develop the hydrogen bomb. * Viet Cong launched the Tet Offensive.

Write a better one (does 4++ million records in ~ 30min) yourself then in GUI form with COMPLETE built-in whitelist filter vs. false positives (like blocking antivirus/antispyware companies which protect you falsely, search engines, etc.) + the ability to remove the TONS of bloat from 10 different custom hosts files data producers... go for it!
* You can't - you're a LOT of talk & 'butthurt' I showed all here you're no security engineer, OR college grad in that discipline/major... lol, FAR from it after your mess you made for yourself here http://slashdot.org/comments.p... & there's NO DISPUTING IT - they're your words quoted PROVING your fails!
APK
P.S.=> Of course, you *tried* before, now didn't you? Yes, you did -> http://yro.slashdot.org/commen... (a few times now above that horrible primitive inferior ttymode/charmode that nobody would ever use MESS one you did, lol, FULL of errors in the data afterwards) & FAILED as per your usual... lmao! apk
