Proactive Security Challenge 64
Proactive Security Challenge 64 is a project of testing Windows security products that implement application-based security – i.e. most of the Internet security suites, HIPS, personal firewalls, behavior blockers etc. Proactive Security Challenge 64 combines the easy and fast testing approach with the depth of the detailed analyses. Proactive Security Challenge 64 allows us to compare tens of products and still cover many of the most important features of this kind of software.
Proactive Security Challenge 64 is a replacement of former Proactive Security Challenge that tested security products on 32-bit Windows XP platform. Proactive Security Challenge 64 uses 64-bit Windows 7 platform.

BSODhook
BSODhook (aka Kernel hooks probing tool) helps finding improper validation bugs in drivers that implement kernel mode hooks on 32-bit Windows 2000 and XP platforms. It consists of two parts, the native SSDT call checker (original BSODhook) and the GDI SSDT call checker (codenamed ShadowHook). The tool calls system services and attempts to produce a system crash (bugcheck), which it catches with its kernel driver and reports validation bug in the tested software.
