I can't read through the pages and pages of grandstanding in this PDF, does this at all have some sort of escape of a security boundary, or is it just "I found a weird way to hack myself"?
- exelius 11y agoIt's not about hacking; it's about threat modeling using a widespread and well-understood implementation that behaves similarly in many ways to a real threat. Basically, if your APT identification tech can't detect Google Chrome updates being pushed out over your network, you won't be able to detect real malicious actors. A true threat would act in a very similar way, except the payload would be more malicious than Chrome updates. It's an interesting thought experiment; but no, there are no concrete conclusions.
- bcoates 11y agoIf you're running Chrome, you've let all the people who can update Chrome into your system. If your security software hasn't detected this, it's snakeoil and won't detect more serious threats either.
