Have you heard of catalog signatures before? 🤔

And on SHA1 : SHAttered Attack: In 2017, Google and CWI Amsterdam announced a practical collision attack on SHA-1, known as the SHAttered attack. They demonstrated that two distinct PDF files could be created with the same SHA-1 hash, proving the practicality of the attack and showing that SHA-1 is no longer suitable for cryptographic use.

Important side note tho,
1) a signature only tells you who made the software, it doesn't say whether it's good
2) not having a signature is not a sign that a file is bad, especially software that is open source or made by individuals they likely can't afford a code signing cert

Bitdefender scammio sounds like a great way of training an AI on what things a user finds suspicious. In other words, scammio could be used as a tool to make AI generated scams more difficult to detect.

Be nice if there was an option for an additional overlay on file icons for a unsigned / signed file. Much like the shortcut arrow overlay

I opened the catroot folder in order to find some cat pictures but there aren't any??? how come??

[init_yeah]

I really wish this was explained like 20 years ago...

It would save everyone time if that property window were wide enough to display all columns. I'm talking to you; Microsoft.

I'd like to see you do a video about Windows Recall.

[lightcatdev]

This video is the only sponsor ive been interested in..Thank you for this!

[DragonKingGaav]

I am amazed you haven't done a video about Recall.

[linerliner]

You're such an amazing guy, Thio. I always enjoy your informative videos. You invest into them so much. Appreciated :)))

[andljoy]

I am going to ask scamio if something that takes screenshots of your computer every 10 seconds and stored them is spyware. I think it will say that it is :P

[moderndaypoet]

If I knew what you knew I'd definitely use it...pretty cool to learn about. Nice job! I am a subscriber to Bitdefender total security. So hearing about Scamio was a surprise! Always good videos so keep up the good work! 👍

I still don't get it why MS keeps adding more of these "misc" security features while leaving many more important ones wide open. SMB ports are still listening on all inputs by default and is hard to block, autorun enabled by default, pulling unnecessary trash like ads from the internet for no reason, mixing system internals with web features by forcing Edge installations, complicated permission structures and UAC that doesn't work, and more. Non of these are issues on most Linux distros like CentOS or Ubuntu. I'd say this is just another trick to comfort muggles who have no idea what the principle of least privilege is.

I hope you make a video about windows 11 iot enterprise ltsc.

[simonbyrd]

Probably not ever going to 11, and I've almost figured how to do the few Windows things in Linux, at which point, I won't look back.

Is the new Zone identifier thing also part of that update?Downloading a zip and opening it and eg clicking on an iso or exe will prompt you, that it’s dangerous.Whats even more confusing is, that it’s also the case of encrypted zip files.I assume windows is just passing them on to the files, when they are decompressed.But idk

I just realized I haven't opened my laptop for a month. Thanks for the update

[Lighthouse_out_of_order]

I'll never use this, but it'ss fun to know
