With the current model kernel level access is required. Real security products have to be able to operate above userland. Ideally in the future there can be a layer in between user…

Oh you're totally right about the driver APIs. A fair amount has been added, but that stuff gets a new export to avoid breaking anything. For example, there's a dozen different `Ex…

I'm talking about the kernel space itself, not the APIs exposed to userland to interface with the kernel from your application. Internal APIs and behaviors are mostly identical ove…

A fair amount has been changed or added, I'd say. I recommend the Windows Internals book if you're interested in learning about the Windows kernel. The 7th edition just came out.

Until I started working at a SaaS company shipping to Windows enterprise customers I thought PowerShell wasn't used by anyone. Now I see it all the time. It's not fantastic, but if…

I haven't profiled our Windows kernel driver across different kernel versions (maybe I should!) but I'd like to offer this perspective: the kernel is incredibly stable from my driv…

I'm not sure emacs modes offer this level of extensibility, but I'll check them out.

As a baseline solution "language" could be substituted for "unicode range". Re "use a better font": fonts are something I enjoy and I try new ones frequently.

Alignment could definitely be a challenge. Perhaps a better personal solution would be to write something to combine two fonts in a way that also solves alignment. Not a very "acce…

This is applying a font for an entire window/frame/buffer, right? Not applying two fonts for different characters within the same buffer.

It would be nice if text editors could select different fonts for different languages. Suppose I have a nice font that only supports latin characters but the codebase I work with c…

pannen's commentated videos are always a treat. He started uploading again this year after a long hiatus (that started after this video) and I can't wait for more. If you're intere…

Linux desktop users specifically don't have to worry about malware or ransomware until it gets significant usage. Just like people used to say Macs don't get viruses until enough p…

The difference might be that workers have an interest in maintaining the business so they still have well paid jobs while CEOs do not necessarily have an interest in unions' well-b…

Cool! I'm relatively young, so the only interaction I've ever had with a rotary phone was my dad finding one in a box at my grandparents' house. Still, this seems like fun. Cool th…

Third parties are perfectly capable of making replacement parts that match the OEM parts in functionality and quality. This has no effect on integration. The other parts of the pho…

In the Super Smash Bros. Melee competitive scene we still use CRTs for in-person tournaments because of the input lag on LCDs. Most original hardware available to play the game doe…

The T runs mostly on a separate rail, but there are a number of places in city limits where it runs with cars on the street. Check out Arlington Avenue in Allentown (the Pittsburgh…

If I understand correctly, this is just a kernel-mode snippit to copy the System process token to your target process. It assumes you've already found a vulnerable driver to execut…

I wish nobody did. I work for a security company writing Windows kernel drivers and I still have to support Windows 7 / Server 2008 R2. There's been talk of porting to Vista!

Great collection, this channel is what got me into Amiga music. One late work night a coworker and I played these mixes in the office!

Malware / ransomware / security products have been doing this for many years, especially to Windows modules like kernel32.dll and ntdll.dll.
