comment Best practices for integrating external javascript?
If you must link to it, I suppose you could do a server-side integrity check of the remote file, and if its integrity isn't sound - load a local version. Of course, you have to keep track of authorized changes of the remote version..

comment Can malware hide their network activity from Resource Monitor (perfmon)?
I presume it is possible to be using other, seemingly legit applications to do all network communications for you.. Like telnet.exe. Even without needing a rootkit, hypervisor, etc.
