Protect your company's endpoints (Workstations, laptops and Windows Servers) in a whole new way. Nothing runs without the user's knowledge. This is a next-generation malware defense. Designed to fill the blind spots left by conventional antivirus and other endpoint protection solutions have left open. A somewhat new approach: not merely reacting to threats, but nullifying their impact before they even activate. A cyberattack is intercepted and stopped in real-time at the first compromised endpoint in this implementation's Zero Trust mode. This solution not only block malware. It renders malwares irrelevant. And has been specifically developed to assist malware analysts and enhance the operational capabilities of Security Operations Centers (SOC) across TIER 1 to TIER 3 levels.
Currently supported versions: Windows 10 22H2 - Windows 11 24H2 (x64)
When a ransomware attack is launched, endpoint protection that can't respond in real time is about as useful as having no protection at all. Once it starts, it's already too late — because even a slightly more sophisticated one will uninstall itself and reboot the devices, leaving little trace behind.
Ransomware may be deployed through remote access using credentials exposed in a breach, insider-launched malware, an undisclosed 0-day vulnerability (CVE-2025-53770), or triggered accidentally by an employee without malicious intent.
By intercepting all unknown code at the kernel level in real time, these attack vectors are neutralized — eliminating both risk and reputational damage. This approach is particularly suited for small businesses (SMBs) lacking the budget for comprehensive round-the-clock SOC services.
Additional features includes advanced malware analysis and memory forensics. In malware analysis mode, hardly any threat goes undetected. This implementation corners the malware in its analysis mode and forces it to reveal itself. The anomaly detection feature preemptively blocks the execution of the process and flags it for manual analysis. As proactive measures, it can capture a real-time memory dump from both kernel and user space.
If your organization mostly uses Microsoft software or just a few other sofwares. This is the perfect solution. Simplicity is key. Nothing runs without an approval. The designated person or team adds them to the allowed list in Zero Trust mode. With the Home Edition, you stay in control — only the programs you approve can run. Nothing happens behind your back, ensuring complete transparency and peace of mind.
Proactivity refers to the ability to respond when an anomaly is detected on a device. In the example case, unknown code is executed on a device — code that has never previously run on any company system. The solution then performs a predefined action. For instance, as a precautionary measure, take a memory dump from the device or isolate it from the network.
The superficial protection offered by antivirus solutions
Every day, countless new malware variants are engineered to steal sensitive data. Traditional antivirus (AV) solutions simply can't keep up, since every new malware variant requires a manual analysis and separate signature to be created offering no meaningful protection against these evolving threats. These solutions are hopelessly outdated, offering only superficial protection. Users are essentially just being charged for them without real value.
A dozen new variants per day. Even if they could analyze each one immediately as it appears. So despite their efforts, detection is so significantly delayed that it offers little to no practical benefit.
A Next-Generation Antivirus (NGAV) differentiates itself from traditional methods by detecting a previously unseen threats as anomalies, and through behavioral analysis without relying on static signature-based detection.
In addition to the Zero-Trust concept, the solution offers a mode more suitable for home users, where all unknown code (specifically code without a digital signature is automatically blocked unless explicitly approved). This approach proactively eliminates most threats by design.
The authors tests indicate that certain antivirus solutions perform actions without user consent — raising serious questions about trust, transparency, and privacy. When protection is only surface-level and sensitive data is collected regardless of user settings, it's time to re-evaluate what 'security' truly means.
The articles written by malware analysts from a certain antivirus solution were impressive. However, based on my preliminary tests, these features were not actually implemented in the product itself at a practical level. In other words, the articles are solid and the reverse engineers clearly know what they're doing — but why are these capabilities missing from the product being sold? The protection offered by the product is nowhere near the level suggested by the articles. Based on this, I’d say they’re knowingly selling something that only vaguely resembles real protection...
An antivirus solution or endpoint protection software collects all sensitive data, including browser history and file history (such as file names, sizes, and SHA-256 hash values). If a browser plugin captures POST data, even user credentials may be directly transmitted to its servers along with the URL. If a username has spread to the dark web following a data breach, an antivirus solution cannot alert the user unless it actively collects and monitors such credentials. It's worth keeping in mind: endpoint protection for which you don't have the source code can, in fact, already be or could at any time become spyware without the user's knowledge. That's why the source code for this solution is available for purchase as custom software development, leaving nothing to guesswork. Today, free antivirus software doesn’t truly exist. It often leverages the data it collects for commercial gain. Even file names alone can expose trade secrets or enable industrial espionage.
A new standard: No malware, just verified execution (Zero Trust)
That’s why this solution goes further: It doesn’t trust certificates. It trusts processes. Every executable must be explicitly approved by designated personnel. No implicit trust. No shortcuts. No assumptions. This isn’t about chasing signatures or reacting to threats. It’s about prevention by design. The author’s solution doesn’t just block malware — it makes its existence irrelevant. We’re not just talking theory — stolen code-signing certificates from data breaches or acquired under false pretenses are actively being used to sign malware, giving it a false sense of legitimacy. In these cases, even traditional Zero Trust implementations can be bypassed if they rely solely on certificate validation.
In zero-trust mode, ransomware has virtually no room to operate, as it simply won't run — whether digitally signed or not. An attacker cannot disable real-time protection on the device without being noticed, even if they gain remote access using compromised credentials. When it comes to IsaacWiper malware’s capabilities, even a single second of exposure is too much. That’s why the author solution stops threats instantly — at the kernel level, in real time, 24/7/365, operating in a zero-trust mode. The solution doesn’t replace your SOC — it empowers it. And for small and mid-sized businesses, it’s the most cost-effective protection on the market.
Even insider-originated threats trigger immediate scrutiny, and anomaly detection at the endpoint flags any deviation from normal behavior — including non-published zero-day exploits. These capabilities can be tailored as a custom software work to meet your company’s specific needs, thanks to a streamlined configuration model with only a handful of essential settings.
Case study
This simulates a real-life scenario in which an attacker has gained remote access to a company workstation using privileged administrator credentials. The attacker deploys a previously unpublished piece of malware designed for covert data exfiltration. The objective is to steal user credentials, source code, and any other valuable data that can be monetized on the dark web without the company’s awareness.
All malware variants designed to steal #1 steal #2 or wipe or encrypt data were automatically excluded from execution and subjected to manual analysis due to proactive security measures. When the Security Operations Center (SOC) conducted further testing, it quickly became evident that the file was ransomware — despite being digitally signed. This highlights the importance of layered defense and vigilant analysis.
The company emerged from the cyberattack unscathed. There were no disruptions to core operations, no reputational damage, and no need to deploy a CIRT team on-site. Sometimes a simple solution is better.
Advanced Application Control
The original developer’s implementation differs significantly from competitors in one key aspect: depending on the operating mode, either the device user defines which applications are allowed — at the process level or 'globally' based on digital signatures. No company has time, especially in today’s fast-paced world, to wait around for some external team to decide on their behalf which applications are permitted! Execution control is enforced by designated personnel — whether a SOC lead, security architect, malware analyst, or equivalent — who explicitly approve after manual analysis what is allowed to run. Any unrecognized or unauthorized activity is quarantined and subjected to manual analysis. Only after thorough review and validation is it permitted to execute, ensuring that proactive containment is driven by human oversight.
It’s worth noting that processes or DLL's can be added individually to the allowlist or based on the certificate signer.
Malware analysis
- Displays all running processes and their network connections that are not on the approved list (By default, all Microsoft-signed applications are automatically whitelisted)
- Ensures that unauthorized or suspicious software cannot operate undetected
- Empowers CIRT teams during on-site investigations to instantly identify potential malware or anomalous activity
- The system lists only newly initiated processes and their corresponding network connections, allowing immediate visibility into potential command-and-control (C2) communications
- The solution logs all processes along with their command lines and network connections into the database. This supports the investigation of potential data breaches and malware analysis
- Even without malware analysis mode activated, this solution enables post-incident verification to determine whether your company was exposed to a potential data breach
- Your malware analysts are as good as the softwares they use
In certain scenarios, a straightforward approach can outperform complex AI-driven solutions.
What can the on-site CIRT team can do if the malware securely removes itself from the device and restarts it? Not much except send the invoice. If this solution is running in zero-trust mode, you won’t need them anyway, because the attack stops at the first compromised device.
If a cyberattack does occur, and backups have been restored, but the root cause remains unknown, this kind of cyber threat mitigation solution needs to be deployed on the device in order to determine the root cause. Moreover, this kind of system is well-suited for hunting new threats. With this solution, you minimize or completely prevent the following effects: financial losses, reputational damage, operational disruptions caused by malware — and regulatory fines under frameworks like NIS2.
Key features (No comparable solution with these features can be found through search engines):
- Zero Trust - In this security-enhanced mode, the system implements strict execution controls that block all code from running without the user’s deliberate initiation or explicit consent (excluding Microsoft-digitally-signed processes). Everything else is blocked by default and flagged as an anomaly for manual analysis. Not even an APT-level ransomware or spyware can cause any damage. Although a process or its digital signature may be whitelisted, its behavior is continuously monitored to detect any potential malicious activity that may emerge over time
- Advanced process protection: Processes can be protected at the kernel level based on their digital signature, ensuring: Process memory cannot be read or written from user space. Protected processes are immune to code injection. By configuring the settings, browser processes can be secured in such a way that even fileless malware cannot hide within them. Most importantly, it prevents the extraction of user credentials or other sensitive information from browser memory
- The attack surface is minimized to a near-zero level
- Anomaly detection flags any deviation. Zero-day threats are neutralized before they can act — because they’re not on the allowlist
- Advanced malware analysis and memory forensics
- Root cause analysis
- Data breach detection
- Kernel physical memory scanner
- User-mode memory scanner, including WinTcb protected processes
- Secure IOCTL communication (The Exploitation #1 and Exploitation #2 mentioned in the article is not possible with this protection)
- A Next Generation Anti-Virus (NGAV) goes beyond traditional antivirus solutions – no signature updates, no reboots, and operates seamlessly even offline
- The solution runs alongside existing endpoint protections and kernel-level anti-cheats, while also providing deep visibility into their behavior
- Proactive nature - After detecting an anomaly, it can automatically capture a memory dump from kernel memory or user-space memory or isolate the device from the network where the anomaly was detected
- Always-on, real-time defense at the kernel level because threats never sleep
The solution logs all processes along with their command lines and network connections into the database. This supports the investigation of potential data breaches and malware analysis.
The allowed applications list is maintained by the device user. This can be tailored through software development to suit your organization’s requirements.
The user interface (UI) has been coded with C# .NET 8.0 so that the project would be easier to customize and be more easily modifiable.
This solution does not require or use any third-party additional protection layers. Therefore, the kernel driver is stable, and the source code is maintainable and well-documented.
Advanced memory scanner
Detects and exposes all processes (including CodeGen protected) accessing user credentials in real time. Instantly flags any activity involving the exfiltration of sensitive data. You’ll be astonished by what it uncovers — threats you didn’t even know existed.
Unauthorized credential access by antivirus or endpoint protection software or kernel-level anti-cheat? This solution ensures it’s detected — no exceptions. No search engine reveals a memory scanner like this — there’s nothing remotely similar to compare results with.
Ironically, the kernel itself provides the AV's UI/SVC process with near-impenetrable protection and the ability to exfiltrate sensitive data without the user concent. Add to that the undocumented secure-pool features, and it becomes clear that Windows was originally designed with surveillance in mind. Simply disable virtualization in the BIOS, and this memory scanner will uncover even the most advanced, state-sponsored spywares as well.
Availability of the source code
The user interface (UI) is written in C# .NET 8.0. The kernel driver is written in C/C++. The source code is available for purchase as a software work non-exclusively without resale rights for internal use within a company. The source code provides assurance that the solution is safe to use and leaves no room for uncertainty.
The origin of the source code must not be misrepresented. The original author of the source code is White Byte. The logo is the copyrighted creation of the original author and may not be used in any rebranded or derivative solutions without explicit permission.
The source code provides a solid foundation for developing kernel-level anti-cheat mechanisms on Windows with relative ease. The original developer has implemented logic and kernel-level components capable of detecting all P2Cs, effectively addressing cheating issues across any PC game.
