Prohack Security Lite

Discontinued

This Is Archived. New one under development!

New Roadmap

This project is abandoned because of core design faults. There are some features that cannot be implemented becuase the logic is a bit faulty for what I had in mind. There are also some big improvements to make which can be made easily in the new repository for this project. Right now this will be archived and not removed, for showcase purposes. No new improvements for this repository. This was so fun. I loved every moment of spending my time on this and bought back a lot of memories about making winforms applications before I started my university degree.

I hope this archive helps someone learning about Windows API and how some features work, for example querying search indexer easily and extracting file information from results. Some other stuff too.

What I enjoyed most?

I enjoyed optimizing the visual fade effects more than anything because they were random lol. Everytime I debugged the application, I would feel my own disgust at the copy pasted algorithm for fade effects. Then finally I decided to not be a skid and improve it. It was more than anything else because it cured my frustration withing hours of coding a better algorithm. I would love if someone responded to those StackOverflow questions about "fade effect in vb.net/c#" with fading effects here. I know there are programmers who have made more optimized versions, but would be nice to not see the same code copied everywhere in most of the blogs and forum posts.

This is an anti-malware application made in VB.NET. All the hashes are collected from Virus Share Website. Currently under development.

Completed Features

The following features have been completed. They may need further improvements.

Quick Scan

[+] Gather files based on 100+ common file extensions
[+] Queriy Windows Search Indexer for file list
[+] Gather MD5 file signature for each file in query results
[+] Compare with malware signatures

Deep Scan

[+] Gather system file list using Python
[+] Scan against malware signatures

Custom Scan

Choose file(s) and scan. Very simple and no extra features (becuase this is LITE version)

[+] Choose file(s)
[+] Scan againt malware signatures

Scheduled Indexer Query

[+] Automatic background Windows Search Indexer querying every minute
[+] Added error management incase a scan is currently taking place

Error Reporting & Message

Default messagebox was lacking needed features, so a quick custom form was made for displaying message and errors.

[+] Generate small report for emailing: To minimize data collection scope, automatic reporting may not planned..
[+] Refresh application: Starts the updater to download the application again (to be used incase critical application error or files missing/deleted by mistake).

To-Do

Webutils, Tools
Malware Signatures updater
Create powershell support scripts (last priority)
Create gui python package installer (last priority)

FIFO Order

Priority Levels

(1) = Urgent (2) = To complete after urgent tasks (3) = Not urgent, but last to do in the FIFO list

Items in this section are to be made/fixed before doing anything else, hence FirstInFirstOut order of development:

Malware signature updater (1) [core]
Scheduler for malware signature updater (1) [core]
Common scan engine for 'VirusShare-DB' and 'ClamAV-DB' support (2) [core]
Fix python file lister script (3) [bug]
Let starter.bat start the .NET 4.7.2 installer on first time use, then open Easy Installer (3) [bug]

Once the current to-do items are completed, the project will begin release cycles with version controls starting from v1.0.0.0 for both application and updater. Different branches will be created for each sub-project development.
