Linux is often far behind Windows in implementing APIs for things that ought to be simple. Example task: Given a process ID of a process that is not a descendant, wait until it terminates.
Linux: pidfd_create()+poll(). Linux 5.2 (2019)
Windows: OpenProcess() + WaitForSingleObject(). NT 3.1 (1993)

My basic stance has not changed: I just keep leaving personal logs, calmly and continuously. But the side effects are becoming huge. Observation, feedback, discovery, and unexpected connections are emerging from the logs themselves. #AI #Logging #OpenProcess

PhantomLayout Injection vulnerability https://libdzonerzy.so/articles/phantomlayout-ghost-layouts-real-system.html
PhantomLayout - Ghost Layouts, Real
SYSTEM
How a poisoned keyboard-layout descriptor in the shared window-station IME cache became a handle-less cross-process injection primitive (no OpenProcess, no WriteProcessMemory, no remote threads, no hooks), and how a message-free foreground-layout chain rode it from a medium-integrity user to SYSTEM inside consent.exe, before the UAC prompt was even answered

You left out @yvesengler.bsky.social because...? Every leadership candidate deserves a seat at the table & the establishment continuing to sideline a campaign thats raised thousands of $s & signed up many members is concerning.

The basic design is solo-operable. Even without reactions, the logs keep accumulating as personal records and future data. But when reactions arrive, the observation range expands outward, and the experiment becomes broader. It is not dependency. It is extension. #AI #Logging #OpenProcess

Pokémon exists because one kid loved catching bugs.
I made a short documentary about how that childhood hobby eventually led to games, trading cards, and world championships.

Breaking Windows Defenses: New KslDsys BYOVD Attack Extracts LSASS Credentials With Zero API Calls + Video
Introduction The Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) remains the crown jewel of Windows credential storage, traditionally protected by API monitoring that flags suspicious access attempts. A newly ported Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) technique leverages a Microsoft-signed kernel driver to read LSASS memory through physical memory access—completely bypassing OpenProcess, ReadProcessMemory, and every auditable API call that security tools typically monitor.
