Firewall Challenge
This project is a combination of two former subprojects of Windows Personal Firewall analysis – leak-testing and detailed firewall analyses and reviews. Firewall Challenge combines the easy and fast testing approach of leak-testing with the depth of the detailed analyses. Firewall Challenge allows us to compare tens of products and still cover many of the most important features of personal firewalls.

BSODhook
BSODhook (aka Kernel hooks probing tool) helps finding improper validation bugs in drivers that implement kernel mode hooks. 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.

Windows Personal Firewall analysis
This project has been replaced with Firewall Challenge project.
The flagship project of matousec.com. We analysed the top products on the Personal Firewalls field with our own methodology and tools. We found and documented many bugs and vulnerabilities in software used by millions. We offered extensive collections of security holes in Personal Firewalls. The goal of this project was to improve the security of Personal Firewalls used by common users and to offer a comparison of these security products based on their security level. This project has also been a source of informative articles about personal firewalls.
