Greetings
CoreLabs, the research arm of Core Security Technologies, is pleased to
announce a new release of CORE FORCE, a free software endpoint security
solution.
Core FORCE, a fully functional endpoint protection software for Windows
2000 and Windows XP systems, is released under the Apache 2.0 license and
is available for download at http://force.coresecurity.com. CORE FORCE
R0.95 b167 provides new features and updates based on user feedback.
Programs can now be moved across security profiles while they run. Two new
default security profiles have been added to run trusted and untrusted
programs in generic sandboxes. This release of CORE FORCE includes the
following new features:
* New security profiles for Trusted Programs and Untrusted Programs.
* Support to change the security profile for programs while they are
running.
* New Run with security profile command to launch a program in a specific
security sandbox.
* Alert notifications have been overhauled to provide more accurate
information and options to the user.
* Support for configuration of multiple executables in a program's security
profile.
* Firewall rules can now be configured for specific protocols other than
TCP, UDP & ICMP.
* Generic permissions can now be configured to initialize security levels'
permissions on a new program's security profile. These new features have
been designed to work together in common scenarios:
* If you want to install a new program and avoid restrictions for the
installer, you can launch it in the new Trusted Programs sandbox (or move
it to that security profile when it's running).
* If you download a suspicious program from the web and want to check it
out, you can run it in the Untrusted Programs sandbox where it won't be
able to write or delete stuff in your computer and communicate with remote
computers without your knowledge.
As in previous releases, we continue to improve CORE FORCE's stability and
compatibility based on feedback from beta users. For more information about
this new release, please go here:
