Cybellum recommends that security vendors use Microsoft's Protected Processes mechanism, which the company introduced with Windows 8.1.

Protected Processes is a security system that Microsoft specifically designed for anti-malware services, and which works by wrapping around their processes and not permitting other apps to inject unsigned code.

Of all security products, only Windows Defender currently uses Protected Processes.


Attacking anti-virus apps via code injection. After the recent tirades we've seen from former Mozilla and Google devs about AV companies code injection compromising security features in their browsers via injection of random crappy unsigned code that doesn't work if you turn security features like ASLR on in the browser I suppose turn about is fair play.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
