Whoa! It sure has been a long time since we updated information about ProcNetMonitor. We had mentioned about it in our first post here. Now, the author has released an update – ProcNetMonitor version 2.7.
“ProcNetMonitor is the free tool to monitor the network activity of all running process in the system. It displays all open network ports (TCP/UDP) and active network connections for each process. It has advanced color based auto analysis system to make it easy to distinguish network oriented processes from others with just one glance at the list.“
Since we last wrote about it, this tool can now display process information on 64 bit systems too. False positives from Antivirus have also been removed and support for Windows 7 with GUI related enhancements.

PDF Dissector version 1.5.0 is a PDF malware analysis tool. It brings two very cool new features.
The first cool new feature is that PDF Dissector now supports the decryption of RC4-encoded strings and streams. This is very useful because there are a few PDF malware samples in the wild that encrypt their strings and streams using RC4 (a standard PDF format feature). In the past, PDF Dissector was not able to analyze these PDF files. From now on, PDF Dissector can be used on those samples too.

The second cool new feature is an improvement to the plugin API that allows plugins to extend the context menu of PDF file nodes in the PDF browsing tree. This was inspired by a customer who asked for a way to generate reports with PDF Dissector. I implemented a small report generator as a Python plugin to make sure that all customers who want to generate reports can easily modify the content and the layout of the generated report. This is a tool that you need to pay for.
