About this video

A 2013 defensive walkthrough on detecting trojanized programs before running them.

The idea and the problem

Downloading software from unofficial sources was — and still is — one of the most common infection routes.

What you will learn

  • That the official source is the first line of defence
  • That scanning before execution beats cleaning after infection

Technical archive — recorded 2013

The tools are obsolete; use modern scanning and an isolated environment where needed. The content is entirely defensive.
