James MesserHOST
You need to know mobile operating systems, such as iPadOS, iOS, and Android.
James MesserHOST
You need to understand various file system types, such as NTFS, REFS, FAT32, EXT4, XFS, APFS, and XFAT.
James MesserHOST
I also need to know vendor-to-life cycle limitations, end-of-life and update limitations, and understand the compatibility concerns between operating systems.
James MesserHOST
That's just one section of a very big Section 1, Domain 1, goes on for pages.
David ShapiroHOST
Worm viruses exploit all kinds of stuff.
David ShapiroHOST
Worm viruses will exploit... like NTFS permissions, LUNs, CPU instruction leakage, memory leaks, like when an AI, when an LLM exploits that stuff, that's when I'll start to pay attention because this is what someone asked me on Twitter.
David ShapiroHOST
They're like, okay, well, Mr.
David ShapiroHOST
IT genius, what would actually cause you to have some concern? If they found a zero-day exploit for CPU instruction sets or memory leaks, and they use that to compromise a firewall, then I will sit up and take notice.
Ian BrownHOST
No, persimpsia.
Ian BrownHOST
And same with file compression on NTFS.
Ian BrownHOST
No, that
Stephen BancroftHOST
was a later thing as well.
ChrisHOST
So there will be.
ChrisHOST
And I guess this individual has a history with NTFS,
WesHOST
the rewrite.
WesHOST
Yeah, we have Paulo Alcantara and someone we've mentioned multiple times on the show, Namje Jeon.
WesHOST
Those folks are now co-maintaining CIFS, CIFS, which is Namje's third file system, the NTFS rewrite, exFAT, and now this.
WesHOST
So it sounds like it's in pretty good hands.
WesHOST
It does indeed.

JohnHOST
The challenges of our digital age don't stop with education though, as new security vulnerabilities constantly emerge, sometimes in the very open-source projects we rely upon.
JohnHOST
This week, a significant flaw was found in the NTFS3 driver that underpins compatibility between Linux systems and Microsoft's venerable NTFS file system.
JohnHOST
Security researchers discovered that a cleverly manipulated NTFS storage image could potentially grant root-level access on targeted machines.
JohnHOST
For defenders of open platforms, it's a stark reminder of the need for constant vigilance, robust security reviews, and the rapid deployment of software patches to safeguard against exploitation.

Efficient Data Deduplication Optimizing storage space with NTFS, ZFS, and BTRFS deduplication serves a variety of purposes and can be applied in numerous scenarios to address specific challenges effectively.

Linux kernel process injection, rootkit.
Jill BryantHOST
There's ButterFF updates, which enable large folios by default for better memory and IO efficiency.
Jill BryantHOST
And for SMB and NTFS, adds compressed file support for SMB and refines the new NTFS code.
Jill BryantHOST
And it seems like every release they're doing work on NTFS, and that's really good.
Jill BryantHOST
And one of my favorite new features that landed in Linux kernel 7.2 that Vin and I talked about last May Intel engineers have developed a new protocol called USB4 Stream alongside a matching Linux driver named Thunderbolt underscore stream.
Jill BryantHOST
It allows two or more computers to transfer data directly over a USB4 or Thunder...
Low LevelHOST
has found a variety of time of check time of use vulnerabilities mentioned those previously like what those are a time of check time of use from a vulnerability is basically if you are going to a stadium for a baseball game and the rule is no purple hats and you're like ah shit i want a purple hat so you walk in with your red hat on and they check and they make sure you're not wearing a purple hat and then you get into the stadium and there's no one checking you anymore so you paint your hat purple and you walk in right it's like they check you at one time but you still can can touch your hat and mess with it right so you can change it after the fact So the way that the first bug worked, which was Rogue Planet, was basically if you had a file that got triggered as a piece of malware, it would get sucked up by Windows Defender, and then in the time it took for Defender to pull it up and put it back...
Low LevelHOST
You could replace the destination directory, what's called an NTFS, I believe, junction, a directory junction, which basically is like a symlink in Windows land.
Low LevelHOST
So you can make your local temp directory be an alias to system32, and then when Windows Defender went to put your file back, it would write a file to system32, which you could not do, but Windows Defender running as system can do that.
Low LevelHOST
And so that time of check time of use got patched out in one particular edge case of Windows Defender.
