@no-oxygen KDE too

What kind of topics die the book cover?

@AlmondSauce We also develop products with new and dated frameworks, which is specifically designed for Chromium browsers and stuff, but that has almost nothing to do with what I do at the company.

@sladuled A MUTUAL? HOW GREAT AWESOME IS THAT? Well not for you, but to know that I'm not alone 😅

@sbiewald I think I never visited golem.de when they still had those games. Or my adblockblockblocker blocked the mini game 🤔

if(strcmp(user_input, "p455w0rd") == 0)
authorize();

Trust me, it's safe.

@sbiewald complete mini games because you have an ad blocker? Which sizes do that?

Now you have to penetrate something with it. Or at least try it.

@Jilano I think you could somehow except c: from scanning, but there are still services, registry and all the other parts Windows Defender watches.

@theabbie I reinstalled Windows using version 20H2. On my other device I upgraded to 20H2 from the previous version and protection is still turned off. But I upgraded it in the fast preview ring. Meaning I don't know if the retail version of 20H2 now also re-enables Windows Defender or not.
Even if it doesn't disable it, it doesn't make it any better.

@theabbie of course it's not impossible, but did they really have to delete the group policy (which is used by admins, not by the average user) for anti virus and anti spyware?

Of course removing these policies isn't enough. Windows also had to somehow completely disable the editing of the responsible registry entries. And no, you can't just use TrustedInstaller (Windows NT's root equivalent) to change the admin permission to allow modification to that registry value.

Starting Windows 10 PE and Windows goes ahead and locks the responsible file where the registry key is located so you can't even edit it from there.

Wouldn't it be way simpler to just have an option for admins to disable Defender?

The only tool which can edit Windows registries on linux seems to have a big or something, so I went ahead and used my Windows 8 installation disk to deactivate it.

@SortOfTested I do, but Windows doesn't ^^ (and some other apps)

@SortOfTested not when it always deletes Programms and services I use/develop, it prevents some registry changes and never in my life did I use antivirus/antispyware.

@zemaitis are you really talking about 20H2? Because I couldn't even do it with Windows 10 own PE environment.

@iiii should have been `pm uninstall –k ––user 0 $packageName`

@sbiewald and you can easily write and execute C# code which makes things incredibly neat

It can be uninstalled without root. Just needs the terminal.

@spongessuck abandon the project like all of my other projects, duh

@coffeeholic yeah it does. Happens when I put in a search string and end up adding many search parameters till I end up with a query like "MaximumExtraParagraphs -site:llvm.org -site:*.huihoo.com -inurl:llvm -intitle:LLVM"

What is this? Therapy?

@Cyanide too much stuff to rant about
