StopTheHacker Pro provides your website with an advanced feature‐set to provide comprehensive protection for your website and your website visitors from malware.
StopTheHacker is not anti‐virus software. Anti‐virus (AV) software is slow to identify new threats and this delay allows malicious content to stay undetected for longer. AV engines only focus on analyzing traditional malware for the most part like exe, msi, and scr files. The way to analyze these files is different than analyzing malware written in dynamic web 2.0 languages like php, ruby, html, javascript etc.
StopTheHacker profiles web‐malware code to understand features of a piece of code, such as how many arrays and variables are used, how they are used, who is using them, how many times over etc. All give tell‐tale signs of whether this is legitimate usage or malware like behavior.
- AV engines cannot detect malware injected inside htaccess files, StopTheHacker can.
- AV engines cannot detect malware injected via ads, StopTheHacker can.
- AV engines cannot detect malware injected as CSS, or inside CSS files, StopTheHacker can.
