Are you playing games on a different user? If not a user space program can already access all your files and memory of running processes.

- giov4 4mo agoyama? ptrace scope? namespaces? selinux? apparmor? of course depends also on system defaults, but then why I cannot dump ssh-agent process from same user? oh maybe that's also the reason why the move to the kernel level in general? or that's not necessary with different privileges and they could stay on user space without taking over kernel? (insert here philosoraptor meme pls) again having low leve drivers from external corps that could ready anything anytime from my system and exfiltrate without me even knowing is even more scary than running a recent microsoft os! and should be avoided if possible!
- Hikikomori 4mo agoTalking about Windows here as we're discussing kernel anti cheat. >again having low leve drivers from external corps What do you think drivers are then?
- frollogaston 4mo agoUserspace program at least needs admin privs to read others' memory, right?
- Hikikomori 4mo agoThat's the thing, they don't for processes of the same user.
