OTW Recommended Products

Many of my readers ask me for recommendations on products that I use. Beginning with this post and at the footer of every article on Hackers-Arise, I will list products that I endorse. In ALL cases, these will be be products that Iactuallyuse and endorse, not simply advertisements for anything, like you will find in nearly every other website. If don't use the product and like it, you won't find it here. Period.

To begin, I am only endorsing two products; VMWare and Kaspersky Labs. I have used competing products in both of these product lines and I always return to these two.

Kaspersky Labs

Kaspersky Labs, founded and run by Eugene Kaspersky, has consistently scored among the top performers on detecting malware on objective and independent  tests labs such as AV-Test GmBH. In addition, Kaspersky Labs is usually the first to detect and mitigate new zero-day malware found in the wild. That's why I have been using Kaspersky Labs products for years on my own systems, despite being offered free anti-malware software from other vendors.

VMWare

In my lab, I use numerous physical computers and virtual machines to test exploits and malware. In addition, I use virtual machines to analyze malware by  reverse engineering and exploit development.  Over the years, I have used products from Oracle, Microsoft, Citrix and others, but I have found the products from VMWare to work consistently and nearly flawlessly. VMWare makes a number of products for nearly every platform and operating system. If you want the best virtualization software, I can recommend VMWare products without reservation.

For now, these are the only two products on my recommended list. There may be more in the future, so keep checking back here.
