You’re telling me that Window’s built-in antivirus software is what actually installs the virus? 🤣🤣🤣
This must be part of the “Windows commitment to quality”.
Oh cool. Cool cool cool.
Crowdstrike processes their signature files in kernel mode. Defender helpfully pastes malware over system files. Ivanti has a new critical vulnerability every week or so. Why are security vendors incompetent?
Because all software is insecure.
You hear a lot about them because they are used in government and large enterprise environments when threat actors love to attack.
Having a responsible disclosure process where they announce problems so their customers know it’s patching time. It’s better then it use to be where a vendor threw out a patch and if you didn’t patch because the vendor didn’t say why the patch was released.There’s a reason why Isolated Networks are big money these days. Everyone expects their shit connected to the internet will be hit eventually and anyone that thinks they are safe are probably already being hit.
In case anyone else interprets this wrong: he means Proof of Concept code.
Your comment reminded me of this moment I had at an office lunch table:
Someone from sales: I’ve been having a terrible day, the P-O-C at {client company} is being annoying yadda yadda…
Someone from HR: glaring, and taking mental notes.
Me, a dev: wondering how things could’ve gone wrong considering that we hadn’t even shipped anything for them.
It took us all a moment to realize that "PoC " meant different things to each of us - Point of Contact, Person of Colour, and Proof of Concept. Somehow the salesperson could’ve been talking about any of those and it’d make, so none of us questioned ourselves first.
It’s even funnier with “point of sale” machines (ie. cash registers and/or payment terminals). We just sent the customer our newest and best POS! 😂👌
