I just ran into this recently: provisioning some older HSMs require creating an executable sent to customers. Windows defender now blocks these by default just because they have some kind of encryption going on in them.
Mozilla is correct, this is very dangerous to just freely allow access. But some people really need it. And IOT and firmware stuff really needs it to exist somehow. I dont know why active purposeful allow button isn't good enough however
- josephcsible 2y agoWhy can't the executable be compiled on the customer's computer? And just "some kind of encryption" isn't enough to look like a virus. Is it doing something evil like encrypting its own code?
- tmottabr 2y agonot at all.. At least in windows, anything that is not signed with a code signing certificate that is known and that have good reputation will be blocked by windows and\or anti-virus. There are some small devs that i have seen needing to get a new cert, for whatever reason, and got new versions of their software start being blocked for a few weeks until the new cert got known.
