Hi,

Since savannah didn't host project which are design to run under a proprietary OS (like Windows is) only, I close your submission.

Regards,

Jean-Michel

Zenit Simulator: Zenit Simulator is software to test unknown programs, in a virtual Windows environment, in order to observe its behavior.

It runs the programs in a Windows environment which is a simple copy of your current Windows version (It copies only the files important like system32, Windows, etc...), to know the effects of the program on your system before its installation on your hard drive.

This will enable you to avoid the viruses and programs which can harm your system.

*Example: If a user downloads a program which they don't know it might be a virus (even after a scan with an antivirus, because certain viruses are not detected), it will be able to carry out the program on a ZENIT virtual disk, to precisely know the malevolent actions of the program which it can potentially carry out on Windows (Like the destruction of the rigid disk, a Trojan, deleting files .....

 

Exact operation of Zenit Simulator in 5 steps:

 

1) Zenit Simulator creates a virtual disk called ZENIT which by default makes a virtual drive of 2GB, it is placed on the workstation like the other hard drives.

 

2) Zenit Simulator takes a careful clone of your current Windows version, only the Windows files useful to its operation (like system32, Windows) and basic registry (regedit.exe) are used.

It does not copy the programs/software.

 

3) The launching and the execution of any program is carried out by an assistant attached to Zenit Simulator. This assistant installs out the program on the virtual disk ZENIT as if it were on your main hard drive.

 

4) Once the program is launched, Zenit Simulator relays the event to a controller; its role is to control and to record in real time the events which occur on the virtual disk ZENIT after and during the launching of an unknown program.



 5) Finally Zenit Simulator compares the event with several different pieces of information, to check whether it should remove/destroyed/to re-elect etc. it, Zenit Simulator advises to remove this program if it is a virus.



TECHNICAL NOTE

Zenit Simulator has 4 different modules...

Hi,
I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah. While doing so I have noticed a few problems which are described below.

Please resubmit your project in English. English is the only language that the whole Savannah team understands and is needed for transparency and archival purposes.

PS: Betwen I read that you submit your project as GNU software. If you would like to offer your project to the GNU project, please contact the GNU Eval team, following the instructions at http://www.gnu.org/help/evaluation.html .

Regards,

Jean-Michel

Description:

Zenit Simulator : Zenit Simulator est un logiciel capable d’exécuter n’importe qu’elle programme inconnu, dans un environnement Windows virtuel, afin d’observer son comportement.
Il exécute le programme dans l’environnement Windows qui est une simple copie de votre version Windows actuelle (Il ne copie que les fichiers important comme system32, Windows, etc.…), pour connaître les effets du programme sur votre système avant son installation réelle sur votre disque dur.
Ceci va vous permettre d’éviter les virus et les programmes qui peuvent nuire à votre système.
*Exemple : Si l’utilisateur télécharge un programme et qu’il ne sait pas que c’est un virus (même après scan avec un antivirus, car certain virus son encore indétectables), il pourra exécuter virtuellement le programme sur le disque virtuel ZENIT, pour connaître précisément les actions malveillantes du programme qu’il peut exécuter sur Windows (Comme la destruction du disque dur, un trojan, suppression de fichiers, etc.…)
Ensuite Zenit simulator renvoi un rapport à la fin du test du programme en indiquant les résultats de son exécution sur le disque virtuel.
Il informe l’utilisateur des éventuelles destructions de fichiers ou autre action possible pour un virus.
