I'm not aware of how the COVID certs work, but the way that's solved in TLS certificates (used for https) is that when signing, you have to use an approved timestamping authority. A timestamping authority will basically say "

There has actually been a few crashes in the core TCP/IP stack of both Linux and Windows in the last 5 years, though I'm not sure any of them were due to memory safety (most were logic bugs as far as I can tell). That said, rust

Linux drivers don't have a fixed ABI (or even API), making such a feat somewhere between hard and impossible. You'd have to constantly play catch up with the latest kernel refactorings, which would require a tremendous amount of e

Microsoft's eBPF is a very different beast from Linux's eBPF. It is contained to very few subsystems (Currently network, filesystem to come) and doesn't have the same facilities Linux has with dynamic probes to hook arbitrary

Rust does support dynamic linking. But it suffers from the same issues C++ does: Code using generics will get inlined into your final binary, the ABI is unstable so you need to make sure you use the same compiler version, etc... All those c

SequoiaPGP provides a C FFI interface, which can be dynamically linked against from any C-compatible language. Though safe wrappers would have to be written around that to be able to use it from Rust, which is kind of going full circle. It&

Fun fact: Windows 10 21H1 and 11 share the exact same kernel binary (ntoskrnl.exe). Which, of course, contains the scheduler. So, yeah, that's a lie if I've ever seen one.

The Windows Registry API is an incomplete wrapper over the NT Registry API. One glaring problem with it is that the windows API uses null-terminated string, whereas the NT API (and the underlying file format) use length-prefixed strings.

Instead of process explorer, I highly recommend people to use Process Hacker[0]. It's open source, contains a lot of information missing from process explorer, and has a much cleaner user interface. Another great one is WinObjEx64[1],

Another example would be userspace network drivers that directly talk to the network card. Those tend to be much more performant than using the kernel driver due to avoiding the need to context switch from userspace to kernelspace.
