Hello Hackforums, I come asking if Kasperkey's "Network Attack Protection" (DDoS protection) Works, and if so I wonder how it'd do it? Maybe it'd reroute the recieved packets to a dedicated server of their own that could withstand it? I'm not sure but when it was installed on my new PC I saw the feature and asked my brother and he said it would've been DDoS protection.
Thank you hackforums, have a nice day.
EDIT I've found my answer. QUOTED From http://support.kaspersky.com/learning/co...3/section5
"The purpose of the Network Attack Blocker component is to block network attacks including port scanning, denial-of-service attacks, buffer-overrun attacks and other remote malicious actions taken against the programs and services working with the network.
Network Attack Blocker uses signatures and blocks all connections that correspond to the descriptions of known network attacks.
As we mentioned earlier, malware does not necessarily save executable code in the file system in order to infect a computer. For example, malware using a buffer-overrun attack can modify a process already downloaded in the memory and thus execute the malicious code. The Network Attack Blocker is the only component able to prevent infections from spreading this way. That is why it must be enabled, and its settings must be locked."
