Didn't read all the leaks but it seems a bit wild to conclude a vendor implemented a backdoor purposefully. There's some been found ofcourse, but simply being SIGINT capable, why does that imply 'backdoor'.? If they have

you can also kill someone with your hands or a knife, that doesnt make guns less deadly. perhaps theres good use cases for deep fake tech, but realising people will use technologies for their own use cases instead the one you envisioned i t

I think technology isnt neutral, and people creating tech that can cause harm and subsequently making it available to the general public and easy to use are as immoral as the people using it. i love writing malware, but once it works, i del

this imho is the way to use it. it is so easy once u get it set up. for me it was one of the simplest ways i found to use such systems.

This is correct to be honest. rooting your phone doesn't ruin other peoples phone experience unless you perform actually illegal conduct perhaps (maybe some hacks or w/e?). Cheating in a game is not illegal, so companies need to t

that's fair enough. perhaps they can more easily in AV land make some kind of signature that whitelists this self-deletion javascript method because the script is more readable. though i'd expect a good AV to be at least worried i

The script doesn't inject. But a lot of malware downloads a script and runs it, so you'd hit another rule.

The first point is true i admit. There are very complex and good ways to identify stuff but those perform so bad they cannot be used in practice. AV/EDR products do try to prevent a lot of stuff. They can 'generically' block

They inject something into Explorer. I would assume that to be some DLL that is injected? ---- Neither code injection nor detouring is officially supported. I can’t tell who did the detouring. Maybe somebody added a detour to the uninstalle

Haha, well fair enough the crash is bad indeed, good point! This isn't intended behavior though and presumably, it doesn't crash on in cases of this technique being implemented in uninstallers. (a bit of a guess i admit!)

you could with anti-exploit techniques (or within windows itself) hook VirtualProtect and such functions to check if its not making the stack executable. Also you could check it on process startup. However, it won't solve much, becaus

The author says the binary looks like malware because it self-deletes, sleeps and touches this uninstaller thing. But the script he proposes, which would be triggered by this same thing, does the same. I am ignoring the injection thing sinc

For games which do not require a level editor i'd agree love is better. but this is only a small subset of games perhaps. other cases, an editor is definitely useful. making an editor yourself is really, really tedious.

Because of potential false positives, and the speed at which files need to be analyzed at runtime (suspend process executing it and then analyze it), having files which take a long time to unpack and identify can cause these to be allowed t

you are right that tpm and such technologies are a right step, you have to start somewhere. (i know it didnt start at tpm ofcourse). The author is also right that some claims are too markety while in the real world device are still vulnerab

chatGPT is amazing if you have not mastered the language you are writing in. its what it is for. give it some text, have it rewrite it. that its generated by it doesnt mean any content was produced by it. often ppl just use it to rephrase.
