Test exploit executable from MalwareBytes

MalwareBytes has created an executable that can simulate an exploit behavior in order to verify the company’s Anti-Exploit utility is working. The utility only has two buttons:  Normal and Exploit. The Normal button will open the Windows Calculator (calc.exe) using normal system calls which are typically used when users are trying to open the Calculator. The Exploit button will attempt to open the Windows Calculator using system calls which are typically used by exploits to launch their payloads.

Horizon View Persona Management Share Validation Tool

The Horizon View Persona Management Share Validation Tool is a command-line utility that analyzes user profiles and CIFS shares used by Persona Management to ensure minimum security requirements are met. Persona depends on two CIFS shares to function: the central profile store and the redirected folder share. If the permissions on these CIFS shares fail to meet minimum requirements, then Persona Management will not function correctly. Therefore, this tool has been created to analyze the settings and permissions on the specified CIFS share or profile, identify any incorrect settings or permissions, and suggest steps to correct any issues found.
