  1. The number of people that plug the wire from their modem into their computer, or buy a switch thinking its a router.. and then your whole windows exploitbox is live for the internet to see. each with their own ip if you use a switch inline(i have seen it done many of times by customers)

    uhh you realize last month this effected 90% of windows systems? new and old? microsoft decided that older versions of windows didnt matter anymore. even know in the 90's they convinced all kinds of Cat Scan and MRI makers to install windows XP or even worse windows SE on their machines for ease of use.. and now they refuse to give updates to people that paid $200,000-$5,000,000 for their computers. sounds like shitty business practice to me. Now i understand microsoft didnt sell the people the machines. but they did a damn good job of making sure their shitty OS was inside of them.

  5. i would a pie that didnt have piss on it.. but not if it has a Microsoft label on it.. think i would rather have the one with Piss on it that i know is an actual pie.

  6. They should turn the Windows UI into an x-windows overlay and do what everybody has been asking for years. turn windows into a Linux/Unix derivative.

    Im not 100% sure as i havent looked into this. but if it was me writing it. heres how it would work. SMB is a filesharing server that windows uses to talk to linux mac and other windows machines. when there is a SMB exploit sometimes it just allows you to view files, and copy/write files(like an auth bypass) Then sometimes there is privilege escalation. meaning i give server this string which it unwittingly passes onto the windows OS to give me full admin rights. Then you get to overwrite system files(see where im going?) Sometimes you can also break out of the main process to a shell, or just execute code as if you were the smb server. in any of those instances you can 1) Overwrite explorer.exe, and then wait for the system to call it. 2) upload file, open shell and execute file. 3) Inject raw data into memory and make SMB run data from memory.

    With the way software is written today, And i was told there was a security patch for an OS component that didnt require a restart, I would still fear that the issue in question was not completely patched. and maybe just had a bandaid attached to it with a little bit of bubblegum. as ive seen too many times that one security patch turns into a new 0day the very next day. The white hat hackers are smart. and they do alot of good. and the black hats just try to stay a step ahead of the whitehat. the real winners are the grey hats. they have the real knowledge and alot of time you cant tell the difference between them and the other hackers. and most of the time they work real deep in the industry.

    I agree with you there. but where do we draw the line? Where do we stop law enforcment from apprehending groups heinous criminals to save one innocent person. what becomes the common denominator between good and evil. do we let the the serial killer go because he was able to thwart law enforcment's legal ways of catching him, even know an illegally obtained camera feed caught him mudering in real time? those become the hard questions, where you have to look at the crime being committed at the time. was it worth breaking the law over. Now dont get me wrong, Ive had my fair share of run ins with the law unfortunately. and i in no way am defending all police activity. but in this instance i feel they did the right thing. and the people that are asking for their head on a steak are making me think theyre one of the few that barely squeeked away from this one.

    Yes a murder belongs to a group. its called "Murderers" The pedophiles belong to a group, theyre called pedophiles. and YES they should be persecuted since you ask. Do you secretly belong to one of those groups, and want penaltys to be a slap on the wrist so you can continue with your nefarious activities? its sickening to think that anybody would defend these people for any reason. once you start doing things like this, you should no longer have human rights. you should be treated as if you are a parasite.

    As long as sideloading exists

    What you're referring to is called "Installing a program" sideloading is some shit that young people made up because they have become complacent with everything being "proprietary" which is bullshit and should not exist when it comes to an operating system. If I can write a program I should not have to jump through hoops or pay to be able to install it.

    Mod this up! If i hadnt commented i would. You make a very valid point. and thats part of the problem today, a lot of devs arent old enough to have used shitty software on low end hardware. since even todays low end hardware dwarfs what the high end would have been years ago.
