Is there any valid reason to still be using 3DES in 2026? It was formally deprecated in 2018 and has been surpassed in just about every single way by AES long before that. At this point I feel like it's use is such a huge red flag
I mean they're still using Inno Setup which was pretty cool in 2004.
> After this minor hiccup, the experience with MSI was actually quite pleasant. They prepared a patch for the vulnerability within two days of me reporting it and told me which MSI Center release it was to be bundled with, and when they planned to release the new version. Was NOT expecting a happy ending. I don't know if the part of MSI Center with the pipe vulnerability is automatically installed on desktops but thi…

I did this for my Clevo laptop's keyboard LEDs: https://github.com/matheusmoreira/ite-829x Still one of my most satisfying projects and I use it to this day. These manufacturer apps are so bad.

Why bother reporting to them ?
You could just as well sell it to third parties if it doesn't interest them.

Unfortunately plenty of folks still didn't got the memo MSI and MSIX exist.
msix is just a different beast entirely too.

Unfortunately, WiX is still a pain in the ass to use and there's a lot of simple tooling that makes NSIS/InnoSetup/etc shockingly easy to use while the same MSI experience is garbage. msix is just a different beast entirely too.
I live on .NET/C++ universe in regards to Windows development, so it might be it isn't as nice for not blessed stacks.

> So far, for the vulnerabilities I have reported to Google, ASUS, AMD, TP-Link, Netgear, MSI (and more), they have paid out a total of $0 in bug bounties. Why bother reporting to them ? You could just as well sell it to third parties if it doesn't interest them.
