They had better bring up that Secure Boot f up too
Didn’t 5h3y just release an update that bricked dual boot installs. Something tells me someone else should be organising this. Someone that actually cares.
Do as I say, not as I do.
Microsoft didn’t cause the “disaster” though.
They just made the poor decisions that made CrowdStrike required in the first place.
Care to specify?
If Windows had better security and update practices, software like CrowdStrike wouldn’t be a necessity.
If windows were absolutely perfect with no flaws whatsoever, CrowdStrike wouldn’t be a necessity. I agree with that.
Unfortunately we live in the real world and no OS is perfect so software like CrowdStrike exists on lots of operating systems.
Btw, Crowdstrike isn’t necessary but it’s very nice to have for companies. You don’t need real time protection like that on a normal client you use at home.
It exists on OSX and Linux too, they just don’t do the thing that took down Windows so they weren’t impacted.
Existing and being necessary are two different things. Linux and MacOS are operating systems. Windows is an ad delivery system that masquerades as an operating system.
Running security products in kernel mode is precisely what caused this disaster.
It needs that kind of access to fight advanced attacks. It would surprise me if similar EDR programs didn’t have similar access on Linux systems, for example.
No, you make a management API for security products that run in user space as root, you don’t use kernel modules.
Is that the way that EDR is implemented on Linux or are you guessing?

Microsoft: “Fucking casual. Hold my zune, watch and learn”
I’m not worried: Outlook will cack halfway through sending the iCal invites, which are probably not even valid format anyway.
Your PC ran into a problem that Microsoft couldn’t handle.
Don’t they have an easily hacked screenshot collecting bit of Bloat/Spyware they’re desperately trying to get everyone to use?
Sounds like something they should talk about in some kind of summit about security
So are they going to reassess the capability of kernel level drivers like crowdstrike and anticheat solutions like vanguard? Because of they keep this capability open then they’re just asking for another fuck up.
