Exploit Test Tool

Exploit Test Tool was designed to check the correct functioning of HitmanPro.Alert. It simulates different exploit attacks that HitmanPro.Alert should be able to intercept, but without putting your data and your computer at risk. Alternatively, it can help you assess the protection capabilities of your anti-exploit software.

You can start by using Exploit Test Tool to put HitmanPro.Alert to a test. Please note that HitmanPro.Alert must be running before the Exploit Test Tool so that it can protect the latter against attacks. This way, if you launch a test attack over Exploit Test Tool itself, HitmanPro.Alert should be able to intercept it.

Any of the exploit tests can also be executed against Internet Explorer 11 or any other Win32 applications you choose. In other words, it is not mandatory for you to detonate the attack in the Exploit Test Tool process. Triggering an exploit attack simulation should cause a reaction of your security software, even if you are not using HitmanPro.Alert.

There are various attack simulations to select from, but you should start with the primary tests to see if Exploit Test Tool can launch the Windows calculator. If this test fails on your PC, then none of the other techniques are reliable. The reason is that the exit code of each attack runs calc.exe by default, so you would know when the simulation is complete.

Stack-related attacks are meant to control the program execution, while others just execute malicious code. ROP attacks create return-oriented programming chains, tampering with the heap and the stack memory to run code sections. The list continues with simulations that allow IAT (Import Address Table) filtering, NULL pointer dereferencing, SEH overwriting, virtual machine detection, and more.

In the real world, cyber criminals usually combine several techniques to exploit the vulnerabilities of an application. On the other hand, Exploit Test Tool can run a single exploit test at a time, giving time to the security software installed on the system to respond and take action in due time. Most importantly, these tests are designed for testing purposes only and are not dangerous, providing you with a simple means of checking your computer's security status.
