  • Those people are idiots. You always need to check the credentials and history of people telling you something, and even then - if they’re an expert in security they may know nothing about electronics or explosives or how secret agencies operate.

    And yes, news can be really unreliable - on purpose or just out of mistakes. Gotta always keep that in mind as well, but it also reeeally depends on the particular media company.

    Look, that you’re used to the garbage UI doesn’t change that it’s garbage and in dire need of a fundamental revamp. If almost everyone here (and everywhere else) says that it sucks or is intransparent, then YOU may be the odd one out here ;)

    Imagine hating usable software you don’t need a PhD for. It’s kinda pathetic to make this your point of pride.





  • You need to check out public key cryptography and digital signatures. Those are the basics of Fido.

    When the private key is bound to a device it is not possible to fake or steal it through conventional methods. Passwords are the weakest link and an easy target for attackers - passkeys basically solve that.

    User adoption depends on implementation, but everything is easier than remembering a secure password or using a password manager for most people. There needs to be an easy and secure way to distribute passkeys across devices, and any backup mechanisms may be a weak point. In any case: still better than passwords.

    You need Administrative permissions for psexec. It uploads a file to the target computer’s \admin$ share (just C:\Windows) and starts a service to execute it. Services run as SYSTEM so that’s why you get those privileges.

    (Hah, I forgot your message while typing mine and just copied you :)

    Edit: fixed c$ to admin$
