Microsoft's Attack Surface Analyzer Tool
Attack Surface Analyzer tool is announced by the microsoft regarding the
issues of the security changes.It detects all the changes have been
done in the security by analyzing the registry entries,ActiveX controls
& the added files in the windows system.
The aim of the microsoft developer is very clean that any 3rd party
software is installed on the system then this tool is checking that
weather the installed tool increased the attack surface on the windows
platform or not.To generate a report, the tool needs to scan a system
before and after the program in question is installed.
Overview
Attack Surface Analyzer is developed by the Security Engineering group,
building on the work of our Security Science team. It is the same tool
used by Microsoft's internal product groups to catalogue changes made
to operating system attack surface by the installation of new software.
Attack Surface Analyzer takes a snapshot of your system state before
and after the installation of product(s) and displays the changes to a
number of key elements of the Windows attack surface.
This allows:
- Developers to view changes in the attack surface resulting from the introduction of their code on to the Windows platform.
- IT Professionals to assess the aggregate Attack Surface change by the
installation of an organization's line of business applications.
- IT Security Auditors evaluate the risk of a particular piece of
software installed on the Windows platform during threat risk reviews.
- IT Security Incident Responders to gain a better understanding of the
state of a systems security during investigations (if a baseline scan
was taken of the system during the deployment phase).
