The downside of ridiculously overcomplicating the task. Certificates for IPC? So if somebody runs a virus on the computer they can't tell that one program told the other that you want your RGB to be brighter?
- simulator5g 10mo agoThe point of certificates is that they prevent things like MITM attacks on updates that replace the legitimate app with a malicious version. They also prevent you from installing fake software if you know how to use them, e.g from a malicious ad that looked just like the real Logitech site. They're also requited for all mac app store apps, it's not really about the specific use case of the app.
- Neywiny 10mo agoI'm not understanding the relevance to IPC. What do updates and the app store have to do with inter process communication?
- danpalmer 10mo agoOr they can't write a piece of software that sees your keypresses in the background?
- Neywiny 10mo agoKey loggers do not need to attack Logitech software to work, so I don't see the relevance
- danpalmer 10mo agoMaybe? Maybe not? My point was that there are perfectly legitimate reasons to have tight security on software that deals with input devices. In the age of sandboxed software I wouldn't be surprised if you can't just get all key presses as non-interactive background software, or if you could get them by reading them from Logi Options.
