"Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit" Exploit Protection Toolkit from Microsoft

[Jlelono]

Microsoft and Adobe collaborate to protect against online threats. This looks indeed very promising. Microsoft also wants to release a tool called Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) in August.

Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET). EMET is a free tool that brings newer security mitigations to older Microsoft platforms and applications, both third-party and line of business applications. The tool specifically helps block targeted attacks against unfixed vulnerabilities. The tool will be available in August. Those interested can visit http://ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/edge/9900/29900/emetoverview72010_edge.wmv to watch an instructional video.

Safe - yes it was OT and yet related to mitigation issue.

I created a "Black Hat" thread just like the "World Cup" thread some months ago, so maybe we can continue discussion there since there are a lot of subjects being focused, from Adobe strategies, to Android phone and video feed being hacked, ATM bypassed by remote control rootkit... i supose it's less confusing for outsiders than to come to a "EMET" thread. Hope it's fine with you guys.
