What does HIPS mean in a general sense?

This stands for "Host Intrusion Prevention System" ( H ost I ntrusion P prevention S system). Essentially, it is a program that alerts the user when a malicious program, such as a virus, may be trying to run on the user's computer, or when an unauthorized user, such as a hacker, may have gained access to the user's computer.

Origin and background

A few years ago, classifying malware was relatively easy. The virus was a virus, there were other types, but they were very different! Nowadays, the “bugs” have changed, and the defining boundaries between them have become more blurred. Not only have there been more threats in the form of Trojan horses, worms and rootkits, but now various malicious products are often combined. This is the reason why malware is now often referred to collectively as "malware" and applications designed to combat it as "broad spectrum" software.

In the past, detection programs relied primarily on malware signatures to identify malware. This method, while reliable, is only as good as the frequency of updates. There is an added complication in that much of today's malware is constantly changing. In the process, their signatures also change. To combat this, HIPS programs have been developed that can “recognize” malicious software by its behavior rather than by its signatures. This "behavior" could be an attempt to control another application, start a Windows service, or change a registry key.

Illustration from EUobserver.com

This is a bit like catching a criminal by his behavior rather than by his fingerprints. If he acts like a thief, he is most likely a thief. It's the same with a computer program: if it acts like it's malicious, it's probably malware.

The problem here is that sometimes perfectly legitimate programs can act a little suspiciously, and this can cause HIPS to mistakenly flag a legitimate program as malware. These so-called false alarms are a real problem for HIPS programs. This is why the best HIPS programs are those that use a combined signature-behavioral approach. But more on that later.

What does a HIPS program actually do?

In general terms, a HIPS program seeks to preserve the integrity of the system on which it is installed by preventing unapproved sources from making changes to that system. It typically does this by displaying a security warning popup asking the user whether a particular change should be allowed.

Comodo: HIPS warning popup

This system is only as good as the user's responses to pop-up queries. Even if the HIPS program correctly identifies the threat, the user may inadvertently approve the incorrect action and the PC may still become infected.

Correct behavior can also be misinterpreted as harmful. These so-called "false alarms" are a real problem with HIPS products, although fortunately they have become less common as HIPS programs have become more sophisticated.

The upside here is that you can use some HIPS software to manage the permissions of legitimate applications, although this would only be advisable for advanced users. I'll explain this in more detail later and why you should use them. Another way to look at HIPS is to use it as a firewall, managing applications and services rather than just Internet access.

type of product

Modern malware has become so advanced that security programs can no longer rely on signature-based detection alone. Many applications now use a combination of different methods to identify and block malware threats. As a result, in several various types protective products now use HIPS. Today it is not at all uncommon to see HIPS as part of an antivirus or antispyware program, although HIPS is by far the most common as part of a firewall. In fact, most modern firewalls now add HIPS protection elements to their IP filtering capabilities.

Comodo Internet Security Comprehensive Antivirus

To improve efficiency, HIPS programs use a variety of detection methods. In addition to signature recognition, HIPS programs also look for behavior consistent with malware. This means that they aim to identify actions or events that are known to be typical behavior of malware.

Some behavioral analysis programs are more automated than others, and while this may seem like a good idea, in practice this can lead to complications. Sometimes circumstances may make it appear that a perfectly legitimate application activity is suspicious, causing it to terminate. You may not even know it until something stops working! This is quite safe and just annoying as long as the process is reversible, but sometimes it can lead to instability in the system. Although such events are rare, their impact can be severe, so it is advisable to take this into account when making decisions.

Installation and configuration

A HIPS program should be installed with its default settings and used until it either has a required learning period or until you become accustomed to its functionality. You can always adjust the sensitivity levels later and add additional rules if you feel it is necessary. Applications that have a default “learning period” are designed this way for a reason. It may be tempting to shorten your training, but doing so may also reduce your effectiveness. Manufacturers usually include a PDF manual, and it is never a bad idea to read it before installation.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus: Setting up HIPS

Earlier I mentioned the possibility of using a HIPS program to control the use of legal applications. We already do this in our firewalls by restricting port usage. You can use HIPS software in this manner to block or restrict access to system components and services. In general, the more you restrict Windows, the safer it will be. I read somewhere that the most secure Windows system is called Linux! But that's another problem. Sometimes legitimate programs, when installed, establish a level of access to the system that greatly exceeds what they are actually supposed to perform as part of their normal functions. Limiting applications to "read permission" (from the hard drive) unless they require "write permission" by default is one way to reduce risk. To do this, you can, for example, use the "Protection+" module setting in Comodo Internet Security.

When a potential threat is identified

Most HIPS programs alert users to potential threats with an interactive pop-up window when something happens. Some programs automate this process and report it (maybe!) later. The important thing is not to become “automated” when answering. No security app will be of any use if you blindly click "Yes" to answer every question. Just a few seconds of thinking before making a decision can save hours of work later (not to mention data loss). If a notification turns out to be a false alarm, you can sometimes save it as an "exception" to prevent such a notification in the future. It is also recommended that manufacturers be notified of false alarms so that they can correct them in future versions.

What if you're not sure?

Rates vary depending on what you read, but up to 90% of all malware comes from the Internet, so you'll receive most pop-up security alerts while you're online. The recommended action is to stop this event and search Google for information about the file(s) shown. The location of the detected threat can be as important as the file name. Moreover, "Ispy.exe" may be legitimate software, but "ispy.exe" may be malicious. HijackThis's reporting could help with this, but the results provided by the automated service may not be entirely clear. In general, you will allow some harm by blocking or isolating an event that occurs until you learn what to do about it. This only happens when you remove something and don’t know that it could lead to disastrous results!

Today's trend is to include recommendations from the community in pop-up notifications. These systems try to help you respond to security notifications accurately by telling you how others responded in similar cases.

This is an attractive idea in theory, but in practice the results can be disappointing. For example, if 10 people have previously seen a certain notification, and nine of them made the wrong choice, then when you see a recommendation with a 90% rating to block the program, you follow their lead! I call this the "herd syndrome." As the number of users increases, so should the reliability of recommendations, but this is not always the case, so some caution is necessary. You can always Google for another opinion.

Multiple defenses or a “layered approach”?

A few years ago, using single security suites did not provide the level of performance comparable to using multiple separate security applications to achieve “layered” protection. However, recently manufacturers have invested heavily in kit development and this has now been reflected in their products. However, some still contain at least one weak component, and if it is a firewall, then you should opt for something else. The general consensus is that a combination of individual elements will still give high performance and better overall reliability. What they do, by and large, is of course offer more choice and more flexibility. Comodo was the first serious suite that's truly free, but now Outpost ( site note: unfortunately, this product has not been developed recently) and ZoneAlarm also release free kits. All of them offer a serious alternative to paid software.

Free ZoneAlarm Free Antivirus + Firewall

A car is only as good as its driver, and the same applies to software. There is no such thing as a "set it and forget it" discharge security program. Try to choose something that you can understand and that you enjoy using. It's like comparing Sunbelt-Kerio and Comodo firewalls. Yes, if you want to keep your feet on the ground, Comodo can give better protection, but it is also more difficult to understand. If you believe Kerio is easier to work with, you are more likely to use it effectively, and ultimately it would be best choice(up to Windows XP only. Windows 7 and above users can try TinyWall). Use the results of various tests as a guide, but only for this purpose. No test can ever replace your computer, your program and your surfing habits.

Criterias of choice

I have always chosen applications for myself in the following way. Of course you may think differently!

Do I need it?

Many people challenge the usefulness of some software when they object to what it can achieve. If your firewall already has a good HIPS component (like Comodo, Privatefirewall or Online Armor) then this may be sufficient. However, programs like Malware Defender use a variety of techniques that can provide additional protection in some circumstances. Only you can decide if this is necessary for you. Experts still advise against running more than one security software of the same type.

Will I be able touse it?

Installing any HIPS program creates a lot of work in terms of setting up and managing alerts. In general, what HIPS programs find can be somewhat ambiguous, so you should be prepared to test their results. Only with average knowledge would you find this a problem when interpreting the results.

Will it help?

HIPS-based methods are only effective where the user correctly responds to the pop-up alerts that HIPS displays. Newbies and indifferent users are unlikely to be able to give such answers.

Diligent and experienced users have a place for HIPS software in the PC security landscape, as HIPS takes a different approach to traditional signature software. Used alone or in conjunction with a firewall, HIPS will add detection capabilities to your firewall.

Will it ruin my system?

Security programs, by their very nature, must invade your PC's inner sanctum to be effective. If your registry already looks like a plate of spaghetti, if you have “ghost folders” in your program files, if you have blue screens, Windows error messages and unrequested pages in Internet Explorer, then installing a HIPS program will lead to only to trouble. Even on a clean machine, making the wrong decision can lead to irreversible instability. Although, in principle, you can cause the same damage when working in a registry cleaning program.

Can I use more than one application?

I don't see any benefit in using two HIPS programs together. Experts still advise against running more than one active security application of the same type. The risk of conflict outweighs any possible benefits.

Conclusion

Users, before considering HIPS, may want to consider improving the security of their browser by first replacing IE with Chrome, Firefox or Opera and using sandboxing. People using a standard firewall could use Malware Defender for added protection. And users of CIS or Online Armor will not receive any benefits from this. System load and resource usage is something that needs to be taken into account, although this is mainly important when using older machines. There is really no definitive answer other than to say that there are too many exceptions to the rules, too many! Overall, it's all about balance. The biggest threat to my computer will always be myself!

Anyone who has ordered clothes and shoes in online stores knows that choosing a size on Aliexpress is often not an easy task.

The difficulty lies in the fact that Chinese manufacturers (and not only them) do not have a single standard (grid of sizes) for clothing. You can buy size M from one seller, and it will be just right for you, but take XL from another and the clothes will be a little tight for you.

As a rule, the seller always leaves a size chart on the page of the product he sells; when ordering clothes, be sure to follow it first.

Dimensions on Aliexpress look like letter values ​​and mean the following:

• XS (extra small) - very small size
• S (small) - small size
• M (medium) - average size
• L (large) - large size
• XL (extra large) - very large size
• XXL (extra extra large) - huge size
• XXXL, XXXXL and so on - even larger sizes, indicated by adding the sign X to the letter value

CN — Chinese sizes; Int'I Size– international standard; US– US standard; UK– standard adopted in Great Britain; FR– French standard; IT– Italian standard

But! The sizing chart is good, and you can estimate and use it as a guide when checking your size with a specific seller.

On the seller's pages, as a rule, there are measurement diagrams.

Let's see how to determine your clothing size:

All the main indicators are indicated in English, but everything is clearly understood.

Here is a translation from English of some popular sizes:

• chest volume (chest/bust);
• neck girth – for purchasing clothes with a collar;
• shoulder width (shoulder);
• arm length (distance from shoulder to wrist) (sleeve);
• waist size (waist);
• hip volume (hips);
• leg length outside (outsteam length);
• total length of clothing, similar to what you already have (length)

How exactly do you measure your clothing sizes?

You need to take a fabric/plastic flexible centimeter (measuring tape) and measure all your indicators, then write them down in a notebook. You won't be able to measure everything alone, so ask someone to help you.

When you have figured out the measurements, you need to compare your indicators with dimensional grid seller, which is in the order description.

Basically the principle of choosing sizes men's clothing is no different from women's, so the same rules apply.

We measure both sleeves (sleeve lenght), it may be that one arm is longer than the other.
Measure the chest around the body

We measure the waist (Waist) around the body
We measure the neck size at an angle.
It is also advisable to indicate your height.
Afterwards we transfer all this to English language(you can use Google Translator) and select from the table on the product page, or write to the seller in a message.

When choosing a clothing size on Aliexpress, remember that almost all Chinese clothing runs small, so it is better to order a size larger than you wear.

If you are not entirely sure that the purchased item will fit you, then contact the seller before placing an order. Write to him your measurements, and he will advise which size is best for you.

Example of a message to the seller (delete unnecessary):

“Please, help to choose size. My measurements:
length (your height)
bust (breast volume)
waist (waist)
hips (thighs)
shoulder
sleeve
length of the pants (length of the pants)»

Happy shopping on Aliexpress!

Since Aliexpress is a foreign trading platform and sellers are gathered there different countries, the sizes of clothes on Aliexpress differ slightly from each other.

Even if you chose the same item from different sellers, the difference in their sizes can be significant.

To avoid the unpleasant situation of returning goods, to save your time and nerves, you just need to know how to determine the size of clothes, what they are in the online store and at what points to correctly measure the centimeters of your body.

What are the parameters on Aliexpress?

The standard for a sales store is asian sizes in clothes. Despite their similarity with European ones, you should not count on similarities. Here is the ratio of these two dimensional grids:

Some sellers display as many as 3 size standards next to the product: Chinese, European and American. And in addition to them, there is a table of the sizes of individual items in centimeters. The latter can help you get closer to the right choice.

But before you run for a centimeter and measure your body, you need to familiarize yourself with the translation and meaning of foreign parameters in the size grid:

• The full length of the product translated into the original language sounds like length;
• Neck coverage - neck. Moreover, they do not mean the cutout or its circumference, but precisely the collar of the thing;
• Length of arms (sleeves) - sleeve length;
• Cross shoulder means the width of the shoulders in the product;
• Breast volume is translated into the phrase chest width;
• Hips refers to the dimensions of the hips;
• Waist - waist circumference.

Russian audience

More familiar and understandable to a resident of Russia is a grid of sizes not in a letter designation, but in a digital one. And even if the seller has set the correct sizes and corresponding to the standards of Russian clothing tailoring, but in format S,M and so on, it may be difficult for him to hit the mark.

The following table will tell you about the differences in clothing sizes on Aliexpress in the Russian and Chinese markets. This will help you avoid wasting time on calculations and translations.

For the convenience of choosing sportswear for men: sweatpants, training pants such as leggings and denim trousers, use the table below:

How to correctly take body measurements and what to consider when using a centimeter will be written below.

What to do if there are no sizes?

What should the customer do if the seller has put up an incomprehensible, suspicious grid, you doubt the correctness of the specified sizes, or there is no size grid at all?

In such situations, you should definitely write to the seller asking for it or telling you your parameters.

What you need to indicate:

• Height and weight;
• Chest circumference;
• Waist circumference;
• Hip circumference;
• Shoulder dimensions;
• Arm length (from wrist to shoulder);
• I measured my legs separately on the inside and outside.

If you are ordering winter or autumn clothes, you must take measurements while wearing a thick sweater and wearing pants. If summer and spring - on the naked body.

How to measure all these parameters correctly?

• Height - you need to take off your shoes and lean your back against the meter or a vertical surface. You need to measure from the top of your head to your heels;
• Weight - the most accurate body weight can be seen on the scale in the morning on an empty stomach and on a naked body;
• Chest girth - measure along the most convex horizontal line around the torso;
• The waist circumference is the narrowest part of the torso. Located approximately near the navel. The centimeter should be circled around a horizontal line, secured on the right side;
• Hip circumference - legs should be placed together, the measuring horizontal line should be attached to the most protruding points of the hips;
• Arm Length - Measure from the center of your neck at the back, moving to your elbow (slightly bent) and ending at your wrist.

How will this help you?

• If the seller is honest, he will, based on your measurements, send the most suitable size, and you will be able to avoid changing the product and opening a discussion;
• If the merchant still doesn’t care much about the size and sends you the wrong one, a message with your volumes will serve as evidence in the dispute and will help you win it.

Children's clothing on Aliexpress

The same tables will tell you how to choose the right size of children's clothing; only the measurement parameters differ in them. It would be more correct to say the number of parameters provided for verification.

You can often see tables of the following nature on the website:

Values ​​from 80 to 140 are responsible for the child’s growth.

Such tables are considered more accurate, because sometimes it is necessary to determine only by the approximately written age. Eg:

Large clothing sizes

Trying to please every customer: a thin girl, a child, a broad-shouldered man and a curvy woman, manufacturers resort to tricks with sizes.

On the site you can find clothes whose extreme Chinese sizes reach 4XL, 5XL, which is not the “ceiling”. They can reach up to 10 XL.

In fact, such seemingly huge sizes turn out to be common for our market and completely unsuitable for owners curvaceous XL or 2XL. By the flashy term “big” the Chinese mean big specifically for their build. And they are different small in stature and miniature parameters.

You can find large-sized clothing on the trading platform website by entering the following task in the search bar:

• Mass;
• Large size fashion;
• Large weight;
• sizeable women;
• massive size;
• Girl’s big sizes and others similar to these.

To avoid making a mistake, owners of such figures should also contact the seller in private messages before ordering one or another item and discuss all measurements.

Underwear

When choosing underwear on Aliexpress, you should be no less careful than when buying outerwear. How to choose the right size of underwear on Aliexpress?

To determine the size of your breasts correctly, you should take measurements in a bust that sits closely, it is better if it is without underwires and paralon.

• Stand up straight and take the first measurement under your chest. The tape must be pressed tightly against the body;
• Now you need to measure the volume of the most protruding points of the chest. In this case, the tape, on the contrary, does not need to be pressed;
• From the second value obtained we subtract the first. This result will be the fullness of the cup. From there we choose the size:

• 0-12 cm - AA - 0;
• 12-14cm - A - 1;
• 14-16cm - B - 2;
• 16-18cm - C - 3;
• 18-20cm - D - 4;
• 20-22cm - DD - 5;
• 23-25cm - E - 6;
• 26-28cm - F - 7.

• We round the value of the first measurement:

• 67-72 cm =>70 cm
• 73-77cm =>75 cm
• 78-82 cm =>80 cm
• 83-87cm =>85 cm
• 88-92cm =>90 cm
• 93-97cm =>95 cm
• 98-102cm =>100 cm

Features in clothing

Some wardrobe items are worn in Chinese cities somewhat differently than in Russian cities. Different lengths accepted as the norm, different acceptable levels of transparency in tissues, and so on.

What things belong on the “special” list?

Sweatshirts and raglans with long sleeves:

In China they wear a sleeve that would seem short to us by a couple of centimeters. Plus, the build of petite Asians will add to the difference in sleeve length. It is worth carefully measuring this parameter;

The same height and build of Chinese residents is less than that of Russians, the trouser leg may be short and narrower than necessary;

For Chinese women, the shorter the skirt, the better. But Short skirt on a girl from Asia it might just be an indecently short belt for a girl from Russia. The length of the product should be given special attention here.

Free size

The strange one leads users into bewilderment and misunderstanding. What does it mean?

Due to the fact that Asian residents are similar in height and small build, there are things that are not distributed by size, but are sold in one - universal.

Sellers designate clothes with this size in two versions:

1. Some imply the situation described above, that the size is universal.
2. Others mean a size that fits an average build, standard size 42-44, S-M.

In the original language, the word sounds like Free, the translation of names on a foreign site is carried out by a built-in translator, and not by a person, in the end he will rename this size in the literal sense of the word - free, unpaid.
