What is AppRanger?
AppRanger is a security solution that protects servers against hacks. AppRanger finds and removes rootkits, protects server applications against attacks, tracks changes to the server, and helps in reporting for HIPAA, PCI, and SOX compliance.
Do I need AppRanger if I have anti-virus on my server?
Yes. Security for servers requires a much more comprehensive and sophisticated approach and anti-virus does not address them. AppRanger not only addresses the key server security issues, it also overcomes the ineffectiveness of anti-virus against newer attacks, malware, and rootkits.
Do I need AppRanger if my server is behind a firewall?
Yes. Firewalls are ineffective against attacks that target server applications. AppRanger will protect your server applications against attacks and 75% of all attacks are via applications.
Will AppRanger help in preventing Citrix servers from getting infected due to users clicking on malicious links?
Yes. AppRanger will block attacks that come in via applications like the Web browsers, e-mail, IMs, etc. With AppRanger protection, the server will not get infected even if a user clicks on a malicious link or opens an infected attachment.
Does AppRanger work with VMware?
Yes. AppRanger protects servers operating in a virtualized environment. With AppRanger protecting the servers, attacks on server applications and zero-day worm attacks can be blocked even if patches have not been applied.

How do I upgrade AppRanger?

AppRanger has blocked something I was trying to do. How do I allow that action?
Right click on the AppRanger icon in the tray and select “View Blocked Actions.” Find the event that was blocked, right click on the event and select “Allow.” After that AppRanger will add a rule and that action will not be blocked.
I used AppRanger to scan my server and found several items in the “Unclassified list.” What should I do?
Items in the “Unclassified list” may or may not be bad. Please exercise caution in deleting items from the “Unclassified list” as you may end up deleting key items and cause system instability. Before you mark any item in that list for deletion, double click on it to view its properties.
I used AppRanger to scan my server and found some items that say “IDT compromised” and “SSDT compromised.” What does this mean?
If AppRanger scan shows say “IDT compromised” or “SSDT compromised,” then you either have an anti-virus program installed on the server or you have a rootkit.
