True, lol. But it's not just Microsoft, pretty much across all software industries, companies are diligently working to erase the concept of ownership. They want you to pay for their products but at the same time they also want to keep total control over those products and reduce your ability to make decisions on your own down to an absolute minimum. Of course all while gathering every little scrap of data they can possibly get their hands on, stasi-like. (If you don't know what stasi is, it was basically the secret police/government agency in soviet occupied germany, which was tasked with, amongst other things, extensive surveillence and monitoring of the population)

So nostalgic. Some of these podcast on old security bring back some find memories. Thanks Jack!

one thing to note about jack's commentary, is that he is talking from the perspective of a "novice" character, not himself, then occasionally breaks character and shows a fraction of his true knowledge before returning to both the character and neutral recap. he obviously knows more than what he lets on but obfuscates that for storytelling purposes. that is what makes the podcast so engaging.

A facility i lived in had a system full of (my) PII vulnerable to ms08-067 in 2021 and they refused to update it. This thing was used exclusively for email and printing documents. I fired up wannacry in a VM to force their hand. they asked me what i did. I said “you left a your computer vulnerable to an exploit that was patched in 2008 and a worm infected one of my test machines. They replaced that anemic XP machine straight out of 2012 with something running windows 10.

Your question at 39 minutes is valid in more scopes. A user who finds and discloses to a company that doesn’t respond raises those same concerns… but the person disclosing has no control over the outcome… so if the vendor decides not to fix… or doesn’t fix it well. That decision to disclose can impact the user disclosing their findings

yay, an episode of my favorite mainstream OS ever

I totally agree with holding the individual accountable for most of their safety practices. However, it is this absurdity of marketing on behalf of Big Technology that leads to people paying an inordinate amount of money to protect themselves. It's also simple enough to justify that the individual and not the collective corporations are left to figure out what is the best solution for their online security. This makes sense up to the point that most people don't have even novice level understanding of what they need. If you aren't using TOR with a VPN and browser tracking blocking. Then you are under surveillance. Sometimes at every level of the TCP/IP model. Just saying... Great job, great channel and great work! Thank you.

Windows has been compromised ever since 98SE. Permanently opened ports giving access whenever there is an internet connection. Remote connections are not needed to be enabled internally, and there's no extra install necessary. The specific routines cannot be discovered via manually searching due to the exposure being given an exemption from being displayed.

Absolute banger

If a researcher discloses a vulnerability and Microsoft spends more than a year not fixing it, we might know why. Fixing the bug may cause more harm to more computers and more companies. So just let the bug live for a while with more likely minimal damage. Microsoft then can sell the exploit to the NSA.

This why I have been using Linux for years. I wonder, has anyone hacked the windows crash reporting system to send data to their remote server. ?

My computer was infected with this or something similar when I was young I was able to fix it by stopping svchost and then doing a fresh install of windows I was pretty young at the time brought the memory back to me as I listened to this

Simple awesome 💥💥🔥

One thing's quickly become evident around 14 minutes in: sidelining, trivializing, discounting bugs because "they aren't security problems" shows scant disregard for their paying customers. Yes, it's a complex coddled-together chunk of software with millions of moving parts but it suggests to me that there are systemic problems with the design and that a really hard re-evaluation of how such projects are built would have been in order. I think that Millenium or whatever it was called should never have hit the shelves. I spent a morning at a friend's place manually having to get bootloading-bits sorted (I forget the exact details) just to get the thing to boot. And it was lucky I knew which files were involved. Having said all that, a pox on the hacker/s who do their best to ruin the lives of people including the company that is trying to put a piece of software out there to make lives easier for people who want to use what amounts to a pile of transistors.

Hey I remember conficker. Haven't heard that word in forever. Man that damn worm took out three of my pc's in 2008.

How can patching this vulnerability cause applications to stop working? Presumably the fix affects that service's code only and adds error checking for RPC packets, and would not affect anything _other_ than what happens when malformed packets are received. So why does installing that patch make other code stop working, such that you have to wait for each vendor to update their code first?

But you never explained how the vulnerability worked, or how it was in an area that's already been fixed (and reviewed for other problems).

The NSA wants the patch of a known exploit to develop a new long life exploit -

So... unless the exploit causes a crash, the vulnerability will not be noticed or fixed... M$ makes sense now.

Sup Jack, you gonna be at Defcon this year?

If NSA and Microsoft not having fully aligned interests confuses you, you need to reevaluate your worldview lol.

A billion crashes a day, maybe 1 or 2 billion internet users on a legitimate version of windows. Maybe half that actually enable error reporting. And they still have over a billion a day. Assuming it's one per user, you're statistically likely to have a crash at least once every day. That's insane.
