Web Threat Testing and Assessment
SECURITY

This site was designed to allow security professionals the ability to asses the effectiveness of their proxy solution. These test include Anti-Virus, Content Filtering, Content Security and Bandwidth Management.

Web Anti-Virus is a much touted term about scanning web content. But the wrong solution can lead to a false sense of security or disaster for web application performance. The following links will allow testing of both the response time and thoroughness of the web a/v solution:

  • Virus Test Patterns
  • Compressed Viruses
  • Change of Extension
  • Encoded Viruses
  • Compression Formats
  • Mail Attachments
  • Applets

Virus Test Patterns

Compressed Viruses Tests
Change of Extension Tests
Same tests as above, but the extension of the file has been changed. If your anti-virus software only checks certain extensions, ignoring mime-types, then this attack will thwart your A/V efforts.
  • eicar.bin : File EICAR without its extension EXE but BIN
  • level1.bin : Level1 file without its extension ZIP but BIN
Encoded Virus Tests
Similar to the above test, but now the files have been UUencoded and the extensions changed.
  • Level2uue.bin : UUEncoded file level2.zip without its extension zip but BIN
Compression Formats Tests
Tests for different compression types. With or without proper extensions.
