#12I wonder how much further humankind would have progressed by now if "because it can be done" were not such a big motivation for intelligent people.
Edit: Since everybody took this post seriously, I will, too: We would be closer to some local maxima, but would have no chance to progress beyond them.

#13I'd love to see a video of the demo session for this; really curious how ProcMon and AV tools will deal with ELF binaries in this release.
Will they even try? WSL isn't installed by default, you have to specifically ask for it, and presumably only a small percentage of Windows 10 installs are developers who'll be doing that. I don't know if malware writers will bother with it.

Guys, how do you think Black Hat 2017 is going to be funded if you dont download and open the PDF ? ;)
If they're not able to make it silently download and execute remotely without me interacting or being aware, I feel they're not doing their jobs as black hats.
The people who know how to do that are pulling down the big bucks on the Windows 10 team at Microsoft.

They're doing this for entertainment purposes. You could burn out if you're not having fun while working. Perhaps one would just do dumber things, not ones that are more useful?

I wonder how much further humankind would have progressed by now if we knew upfront what's useful and didn't have to try a whole bunch of crazy stuff.

#17I am kinda hesitant to download and open a PDF file coming out of Black Hat 2016. EDIT: See child comment, GitHub preview is fantastic! Slides have a ton of great info.
GitHub will actually render a full preview on the website, no download required. https://github.com/ionescu007/lxss/blob/master/The%20Linux%2...
Github uses pdf.js for that, so it's not more or less secure than viewing it with Firefox's built-in viewer.

Ah, that's quite pleasant. And it doesn't even appear to use the browser's PDF renderer or anything.
Well, it uses Firefox' PDF renderer - they just copied the code into the page itself.

I would wager humankind would have progressed quite a bit less personally.

#20I must complain the slides are chalk full of text with very few visuals. It becomes a paper reading instead of a talk at this point.
